With their zippy quad-core processors and big screens, smartphones have never been more powerful — or more power hungry. Yes, specs and apps matter, but what good are they if you're hunting for an outlet by lunchtime? If you want a smartphone that endures, check out the handsets that made our list.
These devices lasted at least 9 hours on the Laptop Mag Battery Test, which involves continuous Web surfing over 4G LTE. We set each phone's display to 150 nits to normalize for brightness and make sure each handset is receiving at least 3 bars of service. See for yourself which smartphones keep going and going.
A $299 unlocked Android phone that blows away the competition in terms of battery life, the Huawei Ascend Mate 2 truly makes the most of its huge 3,900 mAh battery. This 6.1-inch phablet lasted a very, very long 14 hours and 43 minutes on the Laptop Mag Battery Test. In fact, the Ascend Mate 2 can charge other gadgets (with an optional cable). The 720p screen is quite bright, and the mid-range Snapdragon 400 processor provides good performance for the price.
If you haven't heard of the OnePlus One, you should put it on your smartphone shortlist. Available for just $299 unlocked, this device lasted a fantastic 13 hours and 16 minutes on our battery test. There are plenty of other reasons to scoop up the One, including the very flexible Cyanogen Mod software that runs on top of Android and generous 5.5-inch, full HD display. We also like the gritty texture on the back, so you're less likely to drop this long-distance runner.
The Xperia Z3 is a fantastic choice for T-Mobile subscribers. It boasts a sharp 20.7-MP camera and a dedicated shutter button that lets you snap pictures even while submerged. We also like the bright display and loud front-facing speakers. To top it off, Sony's flagship lasted a very long 12 hours and 9 minutes on the Laptop Mag Battery Test, making it one of the longest-lasting phones available.
The Galaxy S5 improves on its predecessor in multiple ways, including a water-resistant design, fingerprint reader and even a heart rate monitor. But this powerhouse can also get you through the day. The T-Mobile version of the S5 lasted a whopping 10 hours and 57 minutes on our battery test. The AT&T (9:28) and Sprint (8:34) models also delivered great endurance. The Verizon S5 lasted 7:30, which is still above average.
The HTC One M8's gorgeous metal design, powerful performance and booming speakers make it one of the best Android phones yet. Another big reason this device earned a 4.5-star rating from us? Its 2,600 mAh battery lasted 9 hours and 52 minutes on our battery test over Verizon's network. We saw an even longer 10:50 on T-Mobile and a still-excellent 9:26 on Sprint. The AT&T version lasted 8:42.
Made with fitness fans in mind, the Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport for Sprint features the same Super AMOLED display and 16-megapixel camera that we loved on the base model Galaxy S5. It's also got the same powerful Snapdragon 801 CPU. What's new is the Electric Blue or Cherry Red exteriors with reinforced edges. Samsung also opted for physical buttons instead of touchscreen ones on this model. Runners and such will appreciate the ruggedness and resistance to dust and water.
Simply stunning is the first description that comes to mind when you first behold the HTC One M8 for Windows. It's the same metal construction you'll find on the Android version of this $99 brushed-aluminum beauty. This Verizon smartphone sports a Snapdragon 801 processor and a 5-inch 1920 x 1080-pixel display. What sets it apart is the Windows 8.1 tile-based interface with Cortana as a virtual assistant.
The "Plus" in iPhone 6 Plus goes way beyond mere size. Apple's biggest-ever iPhone is also one of its longest lasting, touting a 2,915-mAh battery that lasted an impressive 10 hours on our battery test. It's a good thing the Plus lasts this long; with its gorgeous 5.5-inch 1080p display, zippy A8 processor and improved 8-MP camera with optical image stabilization, this is a phone you're going to want to use all day.
The Galaxy S5 Active is a long-lasting smartphone in more ways than one. The device is rated to withstand multiple drops from 4 feet, and it can be submerged in up to 3 feet of water for 30 minutes. It's also dust-proof and can easily survive sever temperatures. This AT&T exclusive phone can also go the distance when it comes to battery life, as the handset lasted an excellent 9 hours and 37 minutes on our Web surfing test.
With a 3,900 mAh pack, the Droid Turbo has one of the largest batteries every inside a smartphone. And it definitely pays off. This Android handset lasted an impressive 9 hours and 30 minutes on the Laptop Mag battery test. It gets better. An included Turbo Charger can get you back over 15 percent capacity in just minutes. The Droid Turbo is also one of the fastest phones yet, thanks to its Snapdragon 805 processor.
Motorola is clearly doing very well in the tests .. what a fabulous turnaround for this co. I liked the Defy!!
HTC Evo Shift 4G (Sprint) is one of the best smartphones, I've ever got to use.
Sony is the best of the best
I think my wifes HTC Radar has them all beat. She is getting 2 to 3 days per charge.
well yeah if you don't use it it will last for days Al
@Al, this is talking about with heavy use. On a side note I doubt the xperia play has a higher battery life than the razr maxx… XD
Should all either be 3G only or 4G phones (may be the reason the xperia is marked with higher battery life than the Razr Maxx) 4G antennaes at the moment fire run as a hybrid of 4g and 3g at the same time right now causing lower battery life.
None of the above can beat the Samsung Galaxy note N7000 this bad boy comes std with a 2500 mAp I've been on the phone for like over 12hours talk time using a Bluetooth headset!
Just a note on the Xperia play, you can get those results but you need to order an extended life battery with a custom rear cover(15$ on ebay but from hong kong) bring its from the default 1500 mAh to a whooping 3600mAh, you will not get great results otherwise.. I get at best 2 hours with default battery but I get 4-6 with the extended battery.
Nokia e71 lasted well over 7 days on standby, easily 3days under heavy load. And did so for over three years, norepairs, original battery. My 900 can't even last the day…
@carlos the droid razr maxx has a 3330mah battery and lasts about 2-3 days with normal usage on 3G.
All new "Huawei honour" with 1900 Mah Battery……………….
Surely Designed For High Performance As well as High Battery Life………..
Huawei Rockssssssssssssss………………..
I have the xperia play myself, and the fact that it was included on this list makes me lose trust in this post. I'm looking to replace my Play because of its slow performance and short battery life. Sure it was good at first but it quickly got buggy and laggy.
I have iphone 4s and a htc evo 3d, battery life of htc is a disappointment but iphone is good because it has a long drainage time and quick charging, i am planning to replace htc with s3
Please recomment me an android with good battery because am a net surfer.
I don't know how this test being done our just plain gimmick. I've Samsung galaxy 4g as shown as above which never lasted more than 4 hrs. Even after changed the handset with same model or replaced a new battery. 4 hrs max out.
Hi guys
Ultimately i ve bought samsung galaxy s3 and got rid of htc evo 3d and the battery timings and recharging both are outstanding, there is a limitation of moving apps to sd card but its internal memory is good enough.
who use htc one x..?? hope can xplain about battery life coz my friend tell me htc one x bad smartphone for someone who want smartphone with long lasting battery..
Where is iPhone..? Doesn't it have a better battery life than OneX?
Come on. seriously. For the second time it appears on my news feed. Where is the iPhone in the list?
iphone 5 at 7:13. How is this not on the list?
Does a bigger battery really mean more life? I wish the battery makers could make as big advances as do the makers of other parts, but I'm not an expert. All I know is that I want the new HTC Droid DNA and can't get it on AT&T's 4GLTE for working with my salon clients (taking pics of styles and filing them away). It's all too complicated with closed doors everywhere. Navigating what's possible is hard.
I have tried alot of different smartphones. Right now I can say without a doubt that the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is the most incredible smartphone I have ever seen. Until you have tried the new Samsung Galaxy Note 2, you CAN NOT say any other smartphone is better. My battery life is amazing. I surfed the internet stayed 1hour talking and after 13 hours straight, I still had at least 50% left. I can play videos and simultaneously streaming the internet including read emails while my video plays in the corner of my screen without lag. In my video library all of my videos play at the same time without slowing down my phone. My phone screen never times out as long as i am looking at it; that feature is incredible. While im using the S-pen to draw lines if my lines are not straight it will auto fix it. I can hubber over my picture library and the photos will pop up displaying a glimpse of the pictures. Before you say your smartphone is better can it do any of that?
Not sure what you used to come up with these numbers, but they are ridiculously wrong when you consider real world results. Next time do a better job.
I have owned the Samsung Galaxy note 2 for about 2 weeks now and I've never had a phone with a battery life like this, I honestly mess around on it all day long, I check e mails, send e mails, surf the Web, watch videos on YouTube, and I work at least 10 hours a day, when I get home I put it on wifi and use it for everything instead of my laptop. When I go to bed at night and put it on charge is always on about 40% battery life, it's just an amazing phone
Time to update this page guys. The padfone2 is now out and has a huge battery life (excluding tablet mode which would be just plain cheating). The quad core snapdragon and 2gig ram handle big tasks with little drain and the new version also packs a killer battery. So can you please test it and update. You may find that it takes 1st place. Maybe.
To the person who said th iphone5 has a life of 7:13….. That is web surf time only. Play a movie or run a complex app and the battery dies like a bad joke on stage. On a balanced test it measures in at about 5hrs. Sorrry to burst your bubble.
Google this phone, Cloudfone Thrill 430x or Innos D9 it has 4160 mAh Battery. 1000hrs standby, 40hrs 3G talk time, 100hrs of music playback time.
Galaxy Note 2 has longer battery life than Motorola RAZR HD MAXX?? Are you sure?? What kind of test are you doing?
I agree with elie. Cloudfone Thrill 430x and Innos D9 beats all. It has 4160mAh compared to most phones which has lower than 2000mAh of battery and only few have more than 2000mAh. You can also extend the battery life by going to the settings and switching off running apps that you don't use. My Samsung phone only run 3 apps the Axt9IME input method, the SnsService and Google Talk. I only turn on other apps such as wi-fi, facebook, emails, etc. when it's necessary.
When you don't manage running apps, your phone might be running more than 10 apps especially if you're downloading so much apps from the apps store some or even most of these apps continues running without your knowledge even if your not using them and so your phone might be running more than 20 apps simultaneously thus shortening your battery life.
LG Optimus L9 has (according to the thing on the T-Mobile website) 1 day, 5 hours of usage life and 20 something days of standby..
what about lenovo p770 ?
Lol where is Cloudfone 430x
See this is one of the negative effects of great marketing, barely anyone knows about the reality of the world.
Like in the USA for example, the marketing propaganda in that country is so good that people in there actually think the console gaming market is bigger than the pc gaming market, ITS THAT BAD.
Be warned. The HTC G1 T-mobile google 3G phone started killing the battery around December 2012. I've used this phone for 5 years, but the change was sudden and dramatic. I tried a brand new battery and then bought a used phone (exact same phone) in good condition (because I am letting my T-mobile contract run out before replacing to go no-contract). It used to last all day with plenty of usage, except for heavy web use. Now this thing barely lasts 4 hours literally on standby with all background data turned off! The good news is now I have 3 batteries (including the one from the used phone) and my old phone is now a $200 battery charger – yay. The SD card reader began failing on my old phone so I needed a replacement just to fix that anyway. I am convinced the battery problem is the result of a bad firmware or software update from google or T-mobile. Of course the t-mobile tech support was utterly USELESS in resolving any issue. I actually knew more about how to conserve battery life than the "tech".
I don't know how you can think that PC games have more of a market in the US than console games. There are a dozen new games released for consoles monthly compared to one for the PC. By games I'm not talking about time killers like farm ville or bejewelled I mean games that are actually worth the money you pay and have more than a couple hours play time. The PC is dying here very quickly I personally have used mine twice since I got a tablet a year and a half ago and that was only so I could upload CDs to Google.
I don't know how your judging battery life but the gs3 from Verizon doesn't last 8 hours on its best day. Mine barely lasts sleeping overnight let alone actually using it all day and that's with no extra stuff enabled including s voice. Its a great phone with great features you just can't use any of them if you want to get more than three or four hours out of it.
I used to use my Nokia E71/72 for days without charging it…I guess very few of us enjoyed that phone – now use HTC one X and its pretty decent, but definitely have to plug it in at night
Hey sorry guys.
I have worked extensively on both HTC and Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and my boss run the Galaxy S3. My Father owns the Iphone 5. There is no comparission to the Note 2 is surpasses both of them by at least 5 hours. my phone is on a continues download and i run 4 app that sit on the internet all day. the Galasy S3 does about 4 hours before needing a recharge and the iphone 5 about 5. Plus the thing you can do on a notes surpasses both iphone 5 and S3.
Sorry but from all the phone I have Played with and seen. the best battery goes to the Galaxy Note2
I love the note. I carry Iphone 4s and the Note2. Sprint coverage on the Note2 is not as good yet as At&t coverage where I live. With 12 billion from Softbank for wireless infrastructure improvements, it will be soon. If you dont have good reception, they give you a wifi mini tower that will give you 5,000 square feet of coverage if you already have high speed internet. Battery life is great. Before the Note2 I also had a Verizon Win 8x. Nice but no battery life and no commercial banking at my bank. Note2 on Sprint solves it all. I am transitioning to the note. Its more fun than the Iphones. I've had several versions of Iphone. At&t Iphone could not do commercial banking with Safari either.
I can keep my one x up and running for a whole day buy i usually have the screen brightness to the lowest. whihc helps alot but when i am on the rode riding with gps running i have to carry and battery pack. On gps and strava cycling app i can barely keep it alive for my rides. A buddy of mine gave me a phonesuit flex http://bit.ly/U97fpw and it has been amazing. extremlly small where i can pop in my sock while i ride and take it out when my phone is dying to get those extra miles in.
The one X will get about 4 hours of usage before battery is depleted. my girlfriend gets 8 hours of overal standby and use. i get almost 2 days with the samsung note 2. the battery in the one X is indeed very poor. but that mostly because of the tegra 3 chip. wich uses allot of power! that why the one x+ gets a much better battery life. because that one uses a different CPU
cloudfone thrill 430x is the best for me ..
Get A Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and buy a Gold 4,200 mAh battery from ebay and you're good to go.
I wonder what their tests included. My Galaxy S II Skyrocket battery life is terrible. I get about 9.5 hours but 8.75 hours of that is sitting in stand by doing nothing.
I've galaxy note one n7000 and a mugen 5400 mah extended battery.
Now beat me: ) I don't need to check my battery percentage ever.
Note 2 is the bomb. Best battery life ever. I use it so much I got an extra battery, twiced the battery and keeps it slim.
Not correct. Phone with longest battery life is Razr Maxx. What kind of test are you people using??
The Galaxy S3 should definitely not be on this list. This phone is a serious disappointment for anyone looking for most day battery life. The battery seems to drain for no apparent reason, particularly on standby overnight, as I leave the phone fully charge before going to bed and wake up to find it only with a charge of 32% or less. This problem does not seem to be particular to the S3 since early adopters of the S4 are also already complaining about the same issue. Furthermore, if you need to have real-time access to your e-mails, phone calls, facebook updates and other live feeds BEWARE a fully charged S3 will only last you 3-4 hrs.
Last month I got a new LENOVO S890. And this phone has a powerful battery. Or you can go for LENOVO P770.
Both phones have 2250 mAh and 3500mAh battery.
If I don't charge my S890 then it lasts for 3 days. I use my phone for calling, Music, camera, Whatsapp, Games, FB, mails etc. This phone has a amazing long life battery.
I got P770 with 3500mAh. It charges veeery long, but you got smartphone to use it not to preserve battery.
Highly recommended.
Never will go lower than 2500 -pointless..
Any idea on Sony xperia J and L ? Who's battery is better ? Worth buying?
nokia 3310 beats all of you!
hhmm..why no one mentioned any of the lumia(nokia) ..am wondering why nokia made that fone..infact nothing is good from those windows fone ..esp the battery..they better go back and do thier old styles
I use lumia 800 its a waste .. Don't ever think of using this sucker
Very sad actually I have Samsung galaxy S4 and it's even can't keep up to 5 hours of WiFi only usage
With its 2600mah battery and all of its fancy features turned off and screen sets dimmed.
ha…. I have a china phone that can stay up to 3 days. I am not really into high end phone usage and I am only using the phone for normal use. its the Cloudfone Thrill 430x and its got 4160 mah battery. As I always say to my peers, no matter how high-end the phone is, if it will not stay up for at least a day, its worthless…
Nokia Lumia 920 has the worst battery life in the industry. In addition, it gets hot in the back of the phone near the camera area. I use the HERE Drive+ for 30 mins and the phone was freaking HOT and sucked about 1/2 of the battery life out of it. What also sad is that people sent their phones in to Nokia for repair, Nokia sent them back with the issue unresolved.
Innos D9 is the best! i never had any problems with the battery. Bought it last 3 month and its the best thing i ever bought. Ever.
I have been using a Samsung Galaxy older model. I like the phone a lot but the battery life really stinks…so much so I am thinking about dumping Samsung.
KARBONN A30-TA FONE THE BEST. . .with full use it lasts for 2 days and with some use it lasts for 4-5 days
No fucking way. I don't believe this for a second. I have owned dozens of samsung phones in my life and they consistently have the worst battery life by far. This horrible Transfix I have now, gives me 4 hours or light usage if I am lucky. And by that I mean, I charge it, and then don't use it at all, but 4 hours later it is dead anyway. You guys are clearly Samsung shills.
Wanna real life long serving Smartphone? My N8 does 5 days…using email and web for a hour a day. Yes i know symbian is not a current smartphone os but it does 100% of what i need an smartphone to do. oh yeah it has usb on the go, 12 megapixel camera, fm rds radio,(even the s4 doesnt have one of those) HDMI port, i could go on… but i wont!
I have no idea what these s3 guys are talkin about but I take my fully charged phone off the chargrr and head to bed listen to an album with my hesdphones on while preparing to sleep and leave it on the bed all night to wake up to about 85-90 % battery life left. I also use my phone all day long and charge it once tops a day it's great and I could never complain as I had a motorola atrix before this and had to charge it 3 times a day. The S3 has been life changin from a battery perspective so anyone that has a battery issue needs to get there phone fixed.
No much sentiments the note2 is the best via battery life..4g on playin music al through . Charging it once in a day
I want to buy sony xperia z. can anyone help me regarding the battery life of the phone or should i go with samsung note 2?
Agree. In the premium line lg beats them all. Iphone is not included because its not smartphone, its a dumbphone only overhyped by uidiots who could not buy android because there is no android being sold on plan one dollar haha lol. Aniway, iphone cheats because it has no multi task feature and shuts down when not in use. So cheating 100 percent but if u use it to browse only, it wont last 30 minutes in normal use. Anybody wjo disagrees with me is a fanboy or paid troll. Apple sucks. Buy samsung americans so will taste entry premium ness not apple cheapo.
I was Surprised that you didn't mention BlackBerry Q10 I have the phone and the battery life is better than most android phones
I am a retailer of cellphones and cellphones accessories in southern africa. I have always admired HTC phones but the problem is their battery, it doesn't last long it only last if you dont use it. I have always had this small phone for almost a year Samsung GTE-1050 which i carry and use always for my business calls its battery can last for a week without charging it. As much as i would want to take notes and do other staff on my smart phone, can it be that HTC try to manufacture one strong battery that will last even 5days i bet their year ending will yield good profits and they would do better especially here in Africa where we travelled so much doing business.
Fix to "Nokia Lumia Battery Draining"
Watch Solution at Following Youtube Video:
I have a Razr Maxx. Yesterday with normal Use I was at 34 hours on WiFi. On 4g LTE it usually close to 20hrs. So I'm confused on how they got that low of battery time. Then again the HD does use more battery for screen. I don't think the HD is necessary IMO.
Sh@t, that's a f$cking lie. The Droid Razr Maxx and the new Droid Maxx.
Both have 48 hours of battery life. The entire Droid lineup has 24 hrs. and higher…
Absolute rubbish article, which shows that the author didn't research very well. Just write an article to get paid, huh? The Huawei Mate 6.1″ quadcore phone with 4000mah can play an HD movie for about 12 straight hours. The quadcore Lenovo P780 with 4000maH battery can last 39 days standby time. There are some others with MUCH MORE juice than the top ten written here. HTC ONE? What a joke… No wonder the latest comments are posted on the last page.
"G2's 3,000 mAh battery lasted a record-setting 13 hours and 44 minutes on the LAPTOP Battery Test. The AT&T version lasted 10 hours and 42 minutes, while the Verizon model lasted 9:14″
This statement confused me. So which LG G2 version lasted 13:44?
Lenovo P780 with a battery of 4000 mAh????
Could you put the BlackBerry Z30 up on there as well please? The reports for that phone's battery life have been rather good. Thanks!
LG G2 has the best battery backup because its battery is of 3000MaH so by default the battery life would the best……SO No sony,No samsung or HTC LG is the best……
*cough*ZTE Open*cough*
I am not happy with the battery life of samsung s3 (i9300).
Summary: After work You have to change your clothes &charge your phone:((
Razr Maxx has the best battery life hands down end of story….phone has issues with the proximity sensor but other then that its a great phone no other can come close on the battery
What about the Nexus phones? And toss iPhone in the mix for comparison.
i think the best long lasting batery smartphone is nexus 5
Where does BlackBerry rate on your list?
Lenovo p770
Lenovo p780
Fly iq4403 energy 3
are you sleeping?
Lenovo P780 – nothing else comes near it if battery life is the most important thing – best for business men – lots of email, lots of phone calls, lots of texting…
Blackberry Q5=19h no charge Boom!
Battery life is important. Equaly important => how easy/hard to Replace the battery? And at what cost??
On another question: which platform is best for PHONE CALLS ??
I'm sorry. You should have tested the Z30. It would have won hands down. I am using my Z30 and getting about 2-2.5 days between charges. Why don't you test one and compare? Or are you that against Blackberry that it clouds you judgement?
I'm sorry but this is totally wrong. I own a droid maxx and the battery life while running every app on my phone is over 30 hours. Without turning off the screen. I don't know why this review is so wrong but Motorola deserves more attention than what people believe.
BlackBerry Q10 goes all day long, and them some. And when the battery is about to die, just pop off the back and insert a charged battery … try doing that on most other phones
where are the cellphones? can't see any
I would like to see the list of contestants published. My personal experience is BB 10 devises have very good battery life. Was the Z30 even tested and if not , why not?
thank you in advance.
My S3 probably has the WORST battery life of all time. If my phones at 15% it will be dead within half an hour
Honesty, you are missing an important phone… although it is not quite as high-end, the Moto G has amazing battery life, it easily bests my LG G2 in battery life.
bq aquaris 5.7 … take a look 4000 mAh 11 h with screen on and 14% remains
The droid max does not get 9 hours of battery life that is a lie. It get's around 20 hours with heavy usage, and up to 48 with light usage, plus much longer in standby mode
where Lenovo's ? their have 4000mAh battery cells
Kindly name any mobile phones that has long battery life ,size doesnt matter eg like Moterolv 8800
And you din't include the Lenovo P780 with 4000 mah, Failed!!!!
It would be interesting to know how the Nexus 5 stacked up. Impressive result from the LG G2.
DNS S4502M has 4500 mAh battery, other phones suck
Funny how the iphone once heralded as the best battery life of any phone is now not even on the list.
Pentagram X5 Pro (~250$) has two batteries. If You like slim phone you got 3000mAh, but if you not mind to have little bigger one then battery is 6000mAh. It's enough for 6-10 days.
if I have received many photos and videos in a particular what's up chat group, on a nexus 5 android mobile phone, is it possible to transfer all these photos and videos in a folder on my laptop (an hp pavilion dv6) to save them and then possibly load them on a memory stick to take some to a photographer's for printing?
thank you very much for your time
Where is Lenovo P780 with 4000mAh? I own it and 2 and dalf day is not a problem for this phone. Please do update your article.
With a few unnecessary features turned off my note 3 has a epic battery life and that means loads to me even more than the best cutting edge specs
Comparing different size of phones with non-compareable gross volume? What can i do with a super lasting phone if it cannot fit into my pocket or cannot use with one hand? Some of these devices has also phone function, but mainly used for browsing…but if size doesn't matter why not to use some external battery packs, or why not to name it as a tablet/phablet, or laptop with phone function? There are some exception in the comparison for sure but main title sould be: Smartphone alike devices with phone function with the Longest Battery Life for non phone usage
And what a surprise! Which one won the race??? The biggest one with the biggest volume (for the battery too). Don't you see any correlation? A lasting density chart like minutes/cubic millimeters would be a way better to compare power consuming effectiveness.
i need assists.
Plan to upgrade from current smart phone which was quite OLD TECH samsung galaxy s plus which always cause a problem such as hang & re-boot itself and etc
Plan to move to LENOVO S939 OR SONY XPERIA T2 OR Z ULTRA
Please advise me
Thank You
Xperia Z2 not on the list?
come on! I have owned Z2 and so far, has a very long battery life.
It have around 3 days in average use, more than a day for heavy use, and more than 7 days for standby mode.
Cool list, these are top end smartphones, battery life is another thing entirely when considering smartphone, longer battery life really matters!
The Blackberry Passport can last 30 hours.
Lenovo p780.
By far the best battery life. With light usage can last, up to 10 days!!! Anyway 2-5 time longer then the rest of the hand phones. The week point of Lenovo's phones is software, sometime u can have problems.
And the LG G2 ? Z3 compact ?
nice thanks for the advice… very helpful
I just want to say something bout the winner of this test, the Ascend Mate 2.There are very few comments that talk about the number 1 on the list.
I LOVE my Mate 2 from Huawei. It is a great phone and at $299 unlocked it is a bargain too.
Reason why I visited this page is that I would like to replace my Galaxy S5 as it would only last about 5 hours. bought a new battery in the hope that I only got a lemon battery, but alas, no improvement at all.
*Cough cough* THL 5000 *Cough Cough
I'm suspicious of your testing methodologies… I have used all of the following phones for at least 2 months each: iPhone 6, iPhone 6+, Galaxy S5, Droid Turbo.
In my day-to-day usage experience I found that iPhone 6+ was at the top, with 8-10 hours screen on time (and 24 hours standby). The iPhone 6 held its own with around 6 hours on average screen on time. The Galaxy S5 and the Droid Turbo are pitiful, I never could get more than 4-5 hours screen on time with them. This is especially damning for the Turbo given how much bigger its battery is than the S5! The saving grace of the S5 is that if you really need battery to go all weekend, you could get a ZeroLemon battery pack. I am currently using the 6+ as my daily driver and am continually impressed by amazing battery life that is far superior to the Galaxy S5 or the Turbo, despite your claims.
Where are the BlackBerry Z30 and Passport on this list?
I that only one one one one one best smartphone in life is only and only is 1st blackberry very very brand compare to all. Best life best blackberry that all.
Reading this I laugh because I bought a Chinese military grade smartphone for 200$ (very cheap) and it has a 5800 mah battery in it and has 50 DAYS of standby
SO you didn't include Lumia 1520? Even it only have 3500mAh, it can lasts up to 107 hours of battery endurance test
Nokia Lumia 1320 is the best battery life of any smart phone i could find.
surprised it isn't up here. it has the best life due to its low processor, low OS demands and massive battery as well as low screen resolution.

Purpose of this document is to consolidate ideas from Maven users for upcoming 2.1.
Maven bootstrapper plugin.
A plugin that replaces an executable jar's main method as listed in the META-INF folder. The method could be replaced with a special class added to the jar that is able to download enough Maven to get Maven running on that machine and installed in the user folder. The POM that is inside the jar can then be used to locate that jars dependencies and install them into the user's local repository. If maven is already installed, then it could simply use the maven repository to contain its runtime set, and add all required jars to the classpath right then. This would be similar functionality as the current assembly plugin, except that instead of packaging the Jar with other Jars, it packages a Maven bootstrapper. (I am not very good with Wikis, so if this needs to be reformatted, please do so.)
An alternative design could be:
As each class on that thread is loaded the MavenClassLoader would be resposible for checking the user's settings.xml for the repository location, or creating a settings.xml with defaults. Once the repository is located, it will get local copies of the artifacts required for the dependency sets. If the dependencies are not there it can then go to the remote repositories and download them to the local repo. If all of this is done better by first installing enough of the Maven jars, then it should do that instead, and load the dependencies that way.

held a good seal while sailing except when i scraped up against a log, it tore relatively easily. Probably best for keeping stuff dry in your pack and not on its own. smaller one works great to keep my nasty shoes in to avoid my whole trunk stinking.
I've used a few of these in the past on an Appalachian Trail thru-hike, for keeping spare clothes dry, and for consolidating food and hanging it from trees so bears and hungry people who can't climb trees can't steal my food. They work quite nicely for keeping things together and for keeping things dry. I used the 13L ones. Just bought a 1L sack to store the phone, charger, earbuds, and wallet, since those things should be kept dry, and are useful for keeping together. I got the pink one, obviously, because chicks dig hunky outdoorsy guys, and chicks dig pink, so why not combine the two and profit. Anyways, they're worth it. Happy trails.
Super light, idiot proof, I have the 13L for clothes and a smaller one for food.
Works well I love the material its durable and the colors are birthright. I can fit a nice weeks worth of clothes and others things in then L bag seals well and has instructions for sealing the lip properly on inside of bag. Nice.
i have a 3 person tent, I always had a hard time getting it to compress down to fit really good in to my backpack. I got the 13L one and its just the fight size for a 3 person tent! make sure you push out all the air first before you roll it up! it really compress it down to the size or a mid size sleeping bag in its stuff sack. I love how no air get back in to it so it stays small in your bag and doesn't try it expand.
The folding clip top worked great. It does tend to get filled with air because it is sealed so well, so be sure to press all the air out before closing it up. Also, the smallest size works great for a phone, video camera, etc.
Gotta keep stuff dry! Medical kit, toilet paper, clothes, etc. - The sacks work perfectly for the job. The larger sizes are also great for 1) backpack liners and 2) storage of a backpack on a kayaking trip. My buddy and I have done a few trips now where we stow our backpacking pack (emptied out) in the 20L sack and strap it to the top of the kayak. Kayak downstream then hike back to the car!

These residents are a small group of fewer than 10 people, but they've raised the level of awareness about county issues as they haven't held back from voicing their concerns at public meetings.
Part of the group got its start when the town of Snow Hill was having financial woes. They learned then how to request public records. While not a formal club, so to speak, they recently were joined by county residents.
Carolyn Newcomb of Snow Hill said the issues of concern come up in conversation informally.
"We don't sit around and chit-chat every night," Newcomb said, "but if there are issues, there are people we can call and say, 'Did you know?' "
Jody Tyson of Arba said, "It's a diverse group and has a common interest in ensuring that Snow Hill and Greene County are just the best that they can be."
Some of them did meet once in June to delve into the then-proposed county budget.
At that meeting held at Newcomb's house, County Commissioner Jack Edmondson offered to bring the proposed budget and answer questions after residents expressed dismay over a proposed 5.4 percent property tax increase.
The group there consisted of Newcomb, Snow Hill Commissioner Becki Scarborough, Tom O'Brien and Laura Exum of Snow Hill, Chuck and Kim Stokes of Scuffleton and Tyson.
The 289-page budget, online as of mid-September, was only available then for viewing at the county office and library, so this meeting provided an opportunity for them to review the budget together while having their questions addressed by one of the commissioners.
"Everybody had a lot of unanswered questions about some prospective expenditures and some prospective cuts," Tyson said.
Budget workshops were held in the latter part of June and the budget was revised in early July.
"We jokingly say it was held in the closet," Exum said, as commissioners held a meeting in the small conference room.
"The people that got wind of (the meeting) were sitting in the hall trying to have a voice," she said. "It gave the appearance of secrecy."
The session with Edmondson helped the group understand the budget a little better and started a quest for more knowledge through public document requests.
There were three glaring issues that spurred that quest: the proposed property tax increase, a shortage of more than $500,000 in the budget and the property revaluation results which have not been released yet.
"The scary part was when (there was a) half-million dollar shortfall," Newcomb said, "and we're just going to make it up on the backs of the landowners."
The budget shortage was pseudo-remedied by hoped-for funding: the housing of federal inmates for which the county is applying this week and a quarter-cent sales tax which will be voted on in November.
County Manager Don Davenport said Tuesday he was told the county is eligible to house federal inmates, but there are no slots currently available.
When asked what the holdup was in submitting the application — as the budget was passed in late June — Davenport said, "There was no holdup."
The county's response to the shortage was partly blamed on Snow Hill funding its own police department, rather than paying the county for sheriff patrol. However, the county cut two deputy positions in the final budget.
Scarborough said she tried to set up a meeting with the county to discuss an arrangement that would benefit both the town and county, but the county cancelled the meeting and would not reschedule.
"Our question simply was," Tyson said, "if that revenue was so integral, was so important, to the county's financial health and budget, what steps were taken from the county and its prospective management to try to safeguard that relationship?"
Other concerns were raised when Susan Blizzard, a Hookerton Emergency Medical Services volunteer, repeatedly approached the commissioners about emergency vehicles in disrepair and other safety issues.
Added to these concerns were Davenport's salary over-payment, the elimination of Assistant County Manager/Economic Developer Chris Roberson's position and re-assigning the position to Beyond Tobacco Director Misty Chase, who holds an associate degree and no experience in recruiting industry.
Jerry Greene, former owner of The Standard Laconic newspaper, said he believes the county's low revenue is caused by a lack of economic development planning on the part of elected officials.
In September, Exum submitted a public comment in writing to the commissioners requesting answers residents say they haven't received yet about their financial concerns.
At the county's Oct. 1 meeting, Davenport provided copies of financial lists for the public without comment. The lists included fiscal-year revenues, expenses which were cut from the proposed budget and estimated revenues.
"Yes, it answered my question on whether the budget is balanced," Exum said. "No, it's not balanced in an appropriate way."
Exum said she plans to address Davenport's response at the next county meeting Oct. 15.
"The people said, 'We want clarity, we want transparency,' " Exum said. "Today, the answers are barely trickling."

Tynamo-federatedaccounts is an add-on to tapestry-security module and provides and API and components for doing federated authentication, i.e. authenticating (your application) users with a third-party, such as Facebook, Twitter or Google. The most well-known protocol for it is probably Oauth. However, the module is purposefully not named as "tynamo-oauth" or similar, since the provided interfaces are designed for any federated accounts (where you need to "bridge" more than one account together), regardless of protocol. Besides Oauth, LDAP and custom remote authentication servers are obvious use cases. The module provides an authenticating realm for each specific third-party and required components and pages to authenticate via a particular federated authentication scheme. The module is designed to be as light-weight and non-invasive as possible with minimal amount of configuration required. For example, for enabling simple authentication with Facebook in your (Hibernate-based web) application, you only need to provide the following configuration:
The User.class above is your own persistent type, or in the case of Hibernate/JPA, an @Entity. All types you are contributing to FederatedAccountService need to implement the interface org.tynamo.security.federatedaccounts.FederatedAccount. FederatedAccount interface is shown below:
You don't necessarily need to provide any meaningful implementation for federate(...) operation, but it's provided in case you want to merge/update some account properties. See the example implementation for ideas.
FederatedAccountService is a light-weight interface, providing a bridge between your local user accounts and remote accounts. The only operation in FederatedAccountService is:
The operation is designed to be invoked after a remote authentication has succeeded. "remotePrincipal" parameter is the username/userid in the remote system and the last parameter is an optional object describing the remote account. The current Facebook realm is using RestFB and returns RestFB User object as the remoteAccount. DefaultHibernateFederatedAccountServiceImpl tries to obtain the configured entity for this realm (see the configuration above) and saves or updates the entity after calling its federate(...) operation.
FederatedAccounts module requires that FederatedAccountService interface is bound to an existing service, but doesn't bind to any by default. This is so you can provide a custom implementation for FederatedAccountService, using your own persistence model.
To load tynamo-federatedaccounts module, specify the following in your application pom.xml:
Note that for a snapshot version, you need to use the following repository:
Extension points
What should you customize and why?
- If you are not using hibernate as your persistence framework...
-> provide a custom FederatedAccountService implementation
- If you are handling your own transactions...
-> set autoCommit to false (document properly)
- If you are using Hibernate, but need to merge local accounts with remote accounts matching a specific property...
-> override : DefaulHibernateFederatedAccountServiceImpl.findLocalAccount(Class<?> entityType, String realmName, Object remotePrincipal, Object remoteAccount)
- If you are adding/updating (i.e. cache) property values from remote account to local account...
-> implement the required logic in FederatedAccount.federate(String realmName, Object remotePrincipal, Object remoteAccount)
- If you are implementing your own remote account provider...
-> See the current FacebookRealm implementation, FacebookOauth page and FacebookSignIn component and related classes for examples (and contribute back if it's generally useful!)
Check out more examples from our full-featured functional tests or a simple, live demonstration with the default Facebook authentication in action, running on GAE. Note that (a free account on) Google App Engine (GAE) can be pretty slow to cold boot those JVMs, so if things don't load properly the first time around, just refresh the page.

We were thrilled to take part in 129 happy reunions last Saturday as families displaced by Hurricane Sandy came to pick up their pets from our Emergency Boarding Facility (EBF) in Brooklyn. The boarding facility has been open since November, and the effort is now coming to a close. We put out calls for pet parents to come and take their pets home.
The Goldstein family of South Freeport, Long Island, traveled to Brooklyn on Saturday to pick up their 3-year-old beagle, Captain Morgan, who had been under our care at the Emergency Boarding Facility for seven weeks. Captain Morgan's furry friend, Skylar, the Goldstein's cat, waited for Captain Morgan in the car so they could all go home together.
Jordyn Clarke of Rockaway Beach was reunited with her cat, Kary, a tortoiseshell mix, and Midnight, a pit bull mix, on Saturday. Jordyn's bungalow on the beach was destroyed, and she has found new housing in Brooklyn. Midnight is being fostered for a few days by a friend until Jordyn is settled in. Midnight's third birthday is next week, and it will be especially nice for her to be at home.
Thomas Young of Far Rockaway and his son picked up their remaining two dogs at the EBF on Saturday. They had already brought home their Shih Tzu, Prince, who, upon returning home, "went right into his kennel!" Brindle, a pit bull mix, and Venom, a mastiff, were thrilled to see each other and tumbled into the car with Young's son. "These are our kids," says Young, whose family is staying in a hotel and working to rebuild their home.
Cuddles, a young female tabby, was reunited with Shondelle Dodson, who was displaced from her home in Canarsie after Hurricane Sandy. She adopted Cuddles from the ASPCA Adoption Center in Manhattan in 2012.
Check out our Facebook photo album for more adorable reunion pics!
If you or someone you know is missing a pet post-Sandy, please urge them to visit the ASPCA emergency boarding facility at 1508 Herkimer St. in Brooklyn as soon as possible. Pet parents who wish to reclaim their pets from the boarding facility should call the Hurricane Sandy Pet Hotline at (347) 573-1561.

Thank you for helping victims and bringing finding the lost pets back home. Happy ending are always good.Stay safe and help others.
Thank you for helping victims and bringing finding the lost pets back home. Happy ending are always good.Stay safe and help others.
I have 2 puppies and one cat.so I can't adopt another but will one of you adopt this dog at the ASPCA. she is on the available dogs section on this website.she is a german shepherd mix and her name is Briana.Please adopt her.she needs a home.
I think we can all agree we like what the ASPCA does.many people might have thought that they would never see their pet again after sandy but the ASPCA proved them wrong and gave them the pets the held closest to their heart.
Thank you so much for all your hard work. This is just another reason why I support and stand behind the ASPCA - you guys are doing AMAZING work and while I was not affected by Sandy I had family there that was affected and it is a comfort to know that those that are often put at the back of the minds of emergency workers (our beloved pets) during such traumatic emergencies are always remembered by you guys at the ASPCA! thank you!
As a NJ native and animal welfare advocate,I am very grateful for all the difficult work done by the many giving, courageous people through the ASPCA and other rescue organizations after Sandy.
It was noticed nationally and very much appreciated.
You are all in my prayers every night before I go to sleep. God bless everyone that works tirelessly for the lost, hurt, scared animals of our country.
There's nothing more wonderful than a loving reunion! Thanks to the ASPCA for having an emergency shelter for dislocated pets. You are our Valentine!

|Erie Mayor Joseph Sinnott, center, issued a citywide proclamation in advance of National Osteopathic Medicine Week. The proclamation was issued to Silvia Ferretti, DO, LECOM Provost, Senior Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs, and representatives of LECOM's Student Government Association and Student Osteopathic Medical Association.
Students, faculty and staff at all three Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine locations joined together from March 1 to 7 to celebrate National Osteopathic Medicine Week, which recognizes the commitment and professionalism of the nation's osteopathic physicians.
|From left, Irving Freeman, Ph.D., J.D. Vice President for LECOM at Seton Hill, joins Michael S. Kluska, D.O., and Karl Eisaman, Mayor of Greensburg, Pa., during the official proclamation of National Osteopathic Medicine Week in Greensburg.
The event, which is promoted each year by the American Osteopathic Association, brings the osteopathic medical profession together to focus on one common goal: increasing awareness of osteopathic medicine and Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) in communities across the country.
|LECOM Bradenton second-year medical student John Van Straten and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Robert George, D.O., receive a National Osteopathic Medicine Week proclamation from City of Bradenton Mayor Wayne Poston.
Erie Mayor Joseph Sinnott presented an official proclamation at the LECOM campus to Silvia Ferretti, DO, LECOM Provost, Senior Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs, and representatives from LECOM's Student Government Association and Student Osteopathic Medical Association. The proclamation recognizes the contributions of osteopathic physicians in the Erie area and their dedication "to improving the health of their community through education and awareness-based efforts, as well as by delivering quality health services," said Mayor Sinnott.
Proclamations also were issued at LECOM Bradenton by City of Bradenton Mayor Wayne Poston and the Sarasota County Board of Commissioners. Karl Eisaman, Mayor of Greensburg, Pa., delivered a similar proclamation on behalf of LECOM at Seton Hill, which will begin classes for new LECOM students in fall 2009.
During National Osteopathic Medicine Week, LECOM medical students in Erie presented "mini medical schools" at three area elementary schools along with representatives of the Wellsville educational program, which encourages and promotes healthy lifestyles for children. LECOM Bradenton medical students also plan to participate in mini medical school events at the end of March.
|LECOM first-year medical student Brenna Conroy discusses the skeletal system of the body with students from Glenwood Elementary School in Erie.
The mini medical school teaches students about the importance of preventive medicine. At six health stations, children learn the basics of living a healthy lifestyle through bone health, medical instruments, hygiene and germs, human organs, nutrition, and exercise. LECOM Erie faculty member Richard McCabe, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Physiology, coordinates this event at the Erie campus, with assistance from medical students Alia Sommerville and Jeffery Poot.
In Bradenton, LECOM faculty member Russell Sexton, PhD, coordinated the participation of students in the week's events.

We recently told you that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved applications for horse slaughter inspections at Valley Meat Company LLC in Roswell, New Mexico, and Responsible Transportation in Sigourney, Iowa. The USDA is likely to also grant horse slaughter inspections at Rains Natural Meats plant in Gallatin, Missouri, in the coming days.
This week we learned that no horse slaughter plants will be granted inspections until at least July 29 as a result of a lawsuit filed against the USDA by several animal welfare organizations.
This lawsuit buys critical time for our horses. The Agriculture Appropriations bills, which contain language that would prevent horse slaughter in the U.S., are expected to pass in the coming months. We are seeing building momentum for the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act, which would prevent the slaughter of horses in the U.S., end the current export of American horses for slaughter abroad and protect consumers from unknowingly ingesting toxic horse meat.
Please be a voice for horses TODAY: Urge your members of Congress to cosponsor the SAFE Act to end this horrific threat to American horses and protect the public. This is a pivotal time for horses and they need your voice more than ever!
Sending horses to slaughter does not stop horses from being abandoned or maltreated. Hoarders have no intention of sending them to slaughter. Horses are not raised for food. When the slaughter plants were open in the US, the treatment was egregious. The plants have been cited often in the past. The slaughter of horses has never been humane. Stop over breeding when the market is flat-especially AQHA, APHA, and the thoroughbred industry. The AQHA could singlehandedly supply the entire slaughter pipeline. We have adopted an off track thoroughbred who won every race, but broke his knee during a race at age 3. I have several friends and family members that are horse owners/breeders and have rescued horses on their way to slaughter. You need to get real and accept the fact the your way of life and horse ownership is changing.
Please FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THE UNWANTED HORSES AND STOP INDISCRIMINATE BACKYARD BREEDING, MAKE REGISTRIES RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIRS AND TELL THE BLM TO LEAVE THE WILD HORSES ALONE AND LEAVE THEM THEIR LAND AND QUIT PUTTING MORE ON THE MARKET!!!! YOU CANNOT ADDRESS THE SLAUGHTER ISSUE WITHOUT ALSO ADDRESSING THE ABOVE!
Exactly Wiley Coyote. I struggle to keep all of mine in this economy and its really tough when the humane options are so expensive. I have never and will never send any of mine to slaughter but its still really, really tough when you have to pay so much when your live ones need that money!
If you can't afford a horse, you shouldn't get one. I have four and they are very expensive. Reopening slaughter houses will line the pockets of a very small faction of people. The rest of us will have to foot the bill for USDA inspections of horse meat. The USDA said that it will take $400,000.00 per slaughter house to fund USDA inspections. If we have three working horse slaughter plants in this country, that's 12 million in federal tax dollars going to a foreign industry that many of us strongly oppose. Yet another reason I oppose horse slaughter.
Amen Deedie! I strongly appose horse slaughter & am outraged that we the tax payers pay for this!!! It absolutely sickens me. We must stop this insanity! What can we do aside from write our congressmen?
I agree wholeheartedly. Horses are expensive to own. If you can't afford to euthanize and dispose of your horse at the end of his life, then you can't afford to own a horse. It costs less than one year of horse ownership. All our family horses that have passed are buried on family property. Stop over breeding by backyard and commercial breeders. There needs to be a fee included in breeding licenses to help cover the cost of caring horses for 20-30+ years.
wildlife should not used for target practice. NO MURDERING OF HORSES
If this bill would end transport of horses to other countries (like Mexico and Canada) then I'm all for it. If all it does is stop the slaughter in the US, then we're doing our horses immeasurable harm because 1) they will be slaughtered in Mexico and Canada and 2) the transport and handling there is way, way worse than what it would be in this country. Watch U-Tube and see what goes on in Mexico - it's gruesome!
If you look at photos and videos on you tube of slaughter plants in the US, they were not much different. Horses will still have to travel a long distance in some cases. Not everyone will live near the slaughter plant. (Who would want to?) The end result is still the same. Who will work at the horse slaughter plants in America? When slaughter was legal in the US before, illegal Mexicans worked there. Few people want to work in a horse slaughter plant. It's something you would leave off of a resume.

If you decide to make one of your own please post a picture in the comments! I'd love to see what you guys are coming up with. The propane version is coming soon! :D
Step 1: Materials
1 Altoids sours tin
4x 1.5" sheet metal screws with wide heads (or 4x washers to match)
8x nuts to thread on screws
70mm metal computer fan guard (similar style to the one shown)
92mm metal computer fan guard (similar style to the one shown)
* I scavenged my fan guards from an old computer power supply. They just happened to be the correct size
** I think these are the same fan guards that I'm using: 70mm and 92mm
Dremel tool with cutting wheel
Drill with bit slightly bigger than screws
Tin snips
Pliers/Needle nose pliers
Safety goggles and gloves
Step 2: Remove bottom of tin
After you have the holes use a Dremel tool and cutting wheel to remove the center of the tin, leaving 2-3mm of metal around the holes you just drilled. Remove enough metal so that the "tabs" with the 4 holes can easily bend outwards without altering the shape of the tin or breaking off. When the metal is removed bend these tabs out slightly (~15 degrees)
Be careful of the sharp edges when you are cutting and bending, and always wear appropriate safety gear!
It's a bit bigger. Holds 4 charcoal briquettes.
I also made a lid and used a drawer handle on top.
I grilled up some salmon today. It was ok. I think it needs to be hotter to get that delicious seared flesh thing going.
you can use instead of the Altoids tin. Made one today and it turned out great!
I have one of those tins, and I made one, but with shorter feet.
I just need to know...
a one brickette BBQ cool , love idea , great for a cupper,lol boil water or heat a can of stew ,cool
I see there haven't been comments in quite awhile, but had to comment! Made this for my son and son-in-law and packaged it in an "apocalypse" designed painted can (yes - they both watch that show) with other small survival items and it was a HUGE hit!!! I'll try to post a pic if they ever let them out of their sight!!
Amazing project. Thank you very much

A word to the wise – wind-in-your-hair freedom and adrenaline-charged whitewater rafting combined with a variety of other outdoor adventure activities will plaster a smile on your face that's ten miles wide. Cruising the pages of this website is only recommended for those who are ready to envision the time of their lives.
So, you're still reading? You're probably thinking you can resist the lure of West Virginia's whitewater rafting on the New and Gauley rivers and the way these mountains energize just like the tingling fizz from a frosty beverage. You're forgetting how much the sights and sounds of the outdoors will stand out in contrast to the hollow echo of office walls, the honking horns of gridlock and that neighbor's yapping dog. You're probably telling yourself you can quit anytime - that you can resist all-inclusive, super-convenient packages and a thousand different activities to please everyone on your roster.
You know what they say about denial... it ain't just a river in Egypt.
Wild places and exciting times have a way of sticking with you to the point where you just can't shake it. We've seen it happen many times. Some abandon their families — just another "girls' weekend out," they say. Some quit their "real" jobs and move to West Virginia – how do you think we get our guide staff?
No intervention yet has proven successful at getting these adventure addicts to go back to their old ways. If it didn't make them happy and healthy, we'd be really worried.
Regardless, the Surgeon General still makes us include a word of CAUTION — The repeated use of ACE Adventure Resort for prescribed purposes of outdoor adventure vacations has been shown to be habit-forming. Even proper use of ACE may induce side effects such as uncontrollable laughter, intense happiness, family-togetherness, excited-osis and acute relaxation.
The adventure industry is a highly emotional industry. Throughout the course of the day, anyone can feel a whole range of emotions from anxiety to joy, tranquility to fear and so on. Guides are no different. No matter how many times they go down a stretch of river, the uncertain nature of the industry creates new challenges and excitement each time. The problem with all this emotion is, it tends to creep up and take over certain situations where simple logic might be the better solution. Don't worry, we fall victim to it ourselves. As you start your day on the river, emotions you may or may not be used to having can begin to make you "feel" like you... Continue Reading →
We've got some exciting news here at ACE. Well, seeing as how you're reading this on our brand spankin' new website, you may have already noticed our big change. For years, ACE has been in the forefront of new ideas and innovation when it comes to adventure, and we're keeping that going indoors by upping our digital game. Hopefully you'll enjoy the easier user experience when planning out your next adventure with ACE, and soon you'll be able to book your whole trip in your pj's sipping wine and watching Game of Thrones.
