Power consumption in a standby state is strongly dependent on factors including but not limited to network, settings, location, movement, signal strength and cell traffic. Comparisons of different mobile phones using such a specification can therefore only be done in a controlled laboratory environment. When using any mobile phone in real life circumstances for which the mobile phone is intended, the standby time could be considerably lower and will be strongly dependent on the factors as mentioned above.Specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
