GLOSSARY

Music playback time (battery life)

Music playback time is the officially quoted longest time that a single battery charge will last when you

use the phone as a music player only.

Usually those numbers are only achievable when the phone is set to Flight mode (i.e. all transceivers are

off) and the headphones are used (as opposed to the loudspeaker). These numbers are best used as

reference when comparing phones from the same manufacturer because battery life measurement

methodology will probably vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
