Tests on different sites notaient this point. Having swapped a for Iphone 4 4G with 20GB of Free with fair use, I confirm the lack of autonomy of the smartphone Huawei Ascend P7. At equal use 3G and on the same location, the iPhone 4 is largely due more than one day (24 hours) while the Ascend P7 requires charging after 8 hours of operation, taking care to close all applications after use while the battery management INDICATED gourmands programs to close. Unless you are in permanent charge, mandatory battery backup. Therefore I do not advise buying this smartphone Huawei Ascend P7 until the issue of autonomy will not be solved. For the rest, this is a great smartphone in its quoditienne use. It's a shame to buy a backup battery which increases the base price and an additional charge.
