    No battery endurance test comparison? that’s the main point of this article right?

    THL5000 owner here. The phone is quite good, performance is ok, though there are times it gets a bit hot when it’s pushing it’s processor. Aside from Hydroid’s theme (IMHO, the theme looks like a late-90’s Winamp theme) no problem so far. A few hiccups here and there, but barely noticeable. The battery could last me 1-2 days depending on my usage.

    IMO kung battery longevity talaga ang labanan sa dalawa, kung base sa specs, yung thl ang unang mamamatay
