It has been observed that the 5.5 Watt-Hour, 1500 mAh, 3.7 V battery can easily last 27 days of practical use. This is considerably higher than other phones in its class made by Nokia, and other manufacturers. If WiFi, Bluetooth are used and built-in VOIP client is active, the battery will last about 24 hours.
