Mugen Power have announced extended batteries for the HTC One X and the Samsung Galaxy SIII

Battery life is one of those things that is NEVER going to improve. As devices get more powerful, thinner, get bigger screens battery life always take a hit. Sometimes manufacturers do something about this. Take the Motorola Razr Maxx or the Samsung Galaxy Note for example. Both have large batteries.

Recent entries into the smartphone race are the HTC One X and the Samsung Galaxy SIII. Quite often I while hear users of both complaining about battery life. One X owners complaining is more common place though. Samsung owners can at least buy a second or third battery to carry around with them just in case. But what do One X owners do? They can’t just complain all day. Well there are external battery packs that charge the device via the usual micro usb port OR they can use something like this.

We recently reviewed a Mugen extended battery for the Galaxy S2 and we are currently testing an extended battery for the Galaxy Note. Mugen have released two sizes of battery case for the One X and two extended batteries for the Galaxy SIII

It’s worth noting that the Galaxy SIII batteries are in stock and the One X cases are due in stock at the end of August. Also be aware that the prices are in Chinese Dollars so you will need to convert the prices, Mugen Power do offer free worldwide delivery though.

It may be worth waiting to see which UK retailers take these on. As quite a few places sell Mugen Power products.
