The autonomy, as we have said on previous occasions, the bete noire of the smartphone category. Very few teams achieve a decent duration in use between charges. In this sense, the latest flagship company of South Korea 's Samsung has a more than worthy behavior, with 17 hours of continuous use with activated data connections. Those 17 hours well managed can lead to a couple of days of use. But if we see that they fall short, it may be interesting to vitaminize the device with an accessory like the one we are going to detail below. It is a supplementary unit from the manufacturer Mugen Power.
We refer to one of those additions that are integrated into the back of the device and that, although it significantly modifies the overall dimensions of the Samsung Galaxy S4 ”” increasing its thickness ””, it doubles the final autonomy of the device. And it is that compared to the 2,600 milliamps of the original Samsung Galaxy S4 battery, the proposal that integrates the Mugen Power unit reaches 5,500 milliamps. Unfortunately, the description of this product does not refer to the way in which the installation of this battery determines the dimensions of the phone, although checking that the sales pack includes what they call a "back door", that is, a different back cover to the original ””, it is possible to think that, indeed, the thickness of the device will be affected by the second power supply unit.
And since we are talking about the Mugen Power set that, for about 90 dollars (almost 70 euros, at the current exchange rate), we double the hours of use of the Samsung Galaxy S4, we can point out that the thing does not stay in the battery and the cover additional for the back of the phone. Not a few users see the need to carry their mobile in a case that protects it from scratches and bumps, and in this sense, when we install the Mugen Power pack, the set will most likely not fit in the case or bag designed for the standard model. of the Samsung Galaxy S4. But the manufacturer of the supplementary battery has thought of everything, and the sales package includes a leather case specifically designed to carry the terminal once we have fitted the new power unit.
It is important to highlight another important detail. The new housing included in the Mugen Power set also features an NFC proximity communication chip. It seems like a minor detail, since the phone already integrates this chip. But everything responds to a reason. Once we remove the original battery and housing of the Samsung Galaxy S4, the phone will stop operating with NFC functions, so it is necessary that the new housing has this component. This ensures that all the utilities linked to the proximity sensor continue to function. It will be on July 22 when the Mugen Power package begins to ship .
