Battery

The HTC Nexus M1 Marlin may exceed some of its competitors in terms of battery life because rumours claim that the phone will come up with a strong non-removable Li – Polymer 3,450 mAh battery. Most of the smartphones are coming with non-removable battery nowadays, so we expect the same from this phone as well.

Battery consumption depends a lot on the performance of the phone’s processor and this phone is going to use a quad-core processor with the latest snapdragon 820 chipset and the latest Android OS should also be power efficient like the current Marshmallow so overall power consumption would be very less and battery will last longer.
