Do you remember the last time you went out of the house for a whole day and never needed to recharge your smartphone or to use an external battery or battery case to juice it up? Well, neither can we. The battery conundrum continues to haunt OEMs everywhere. But that just means it's good news (not to consumers) for accessory makers who continue to churn out extended battery devices. With the imminent arrival of the Samsung Galaxy S6, Mophie and ZeroLemon have also announced their new battery cases.
The Mophie juice pack made specifically for Samsung's newest flagship device will give your smartphone a solution for its thirst for power as well as protect it from the probably sure-to-happen dropping of phone onto a hard surface. You don't have to worry about it looking or feeling too bulky with its slim yet protective design. The 3,300 mAh battery built-in to the impact-isolation system casing will give your Galaxy S6 more than 100% extra battery (or so they claim), so that means 34 hours of talk time, 24 hours of internet use and 26 hours of video playback.
Meanwhile ZeroLemon has also come out with its own battery case for the Galaxy S6. It has a slightly lower mAh, with just 2,800, but it claims to give your soon-to-be new smartphone 110% additional power. It comes in a black TPU case that will survive "significant drops and everyday abuse".
The Mophie juice pack costs $99.95 and is already available for pre-order (just like the Galaxy S6!). It also comes with a one-year warranty. The ZeroLemon has no pricing and availability details as of yet, although it did say it will come with a 180 day ZeroLemon warranty. Now, all we have to do is wait for the Galaxy S6 to actually hit the market, which should be anytime soon.
