  • We briefly glance at the warnings as we pull the battery out of its fancy packaging.

  • Questionable batteries will apparently explode when installed.

  • This is a 3.85 V, 10.78 Wh battery. Samsung touted a better battery-saving mode, but failed to specify the life of this guy in its advertising—listing the battery spec as 2800 mAh.

  • This is a slight upgrade from the S4's 3.8 V and 2600 mAh (9.88 Wh) battery. Advertised at 7 hours of talk time, and up to 12.5 days of standby.

  • We install the new battery. Then, we take it back out. This teardown has places to be and they're under that battery pack.

  • For those keeping track at home, that took a grand total of 10 seconds. Beat that, HTC.
