Review endurance varies with use; not video playback.User-replaceable BP-4L 1500 mAh Li-Po in the maker specification sheet. Its maxima are 11 hours GSM or 4 hours 40 minutes WCDMA talk, 18 days GSM or 20 days WCDMA standby and 18 hours music. The RM-437 issue1 guide instead lists 10.5/4.5 hours talk and 17/20 days standby; conditions vary. Mobile Tech Review's approximately three-day mixed-use test is not a maker playback claim.
Wired chargingCharges through micro-USB, including a compatible USB data cable; exact guide says cable charging is slower and a USB hub may not work. No charging wattage inferred.Separate charging connector and compatible Nokia charger; the exact guide permits a CA-44 adaptor for older chargers. No charging wattage published in these sources; Full-Speed USB is not a charging-power claim.
