Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition Specs: Battery Life Impresses in Tests
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition specifications feature a battery able to last up to 12-and-a-half hours.
The new version of the device was tested and was able to outclass some of its Nexus competitors in that department, according to a report from YouMobile. The original Galaxy S4 has the ability to last up to 18 hours. This puts it at a slight advantage over the pure Android version.
The HTC One Google Edition was able to last around an hour longer than Samsung's device. These tests involved long talk time.

The Android 4.3, JellyBean update could be coming to the Google Edition of the Galaxy S4 next month.
A new rumor points to the company updating its software to the next-generation build of JellyBean, according to SamMobile. The site claims to have insiders in Samsung who are currently testing build version JWR66N on the Galaxy S4 Google Play edition.
A similar build number recently showed up in a Myce report. The number was JWR66D and it appeared alongside another number, JWR53F. Both of them were reported to be different versions of Android 4.3 and they were spotted in server logs running on the Nexus 7 and the Nexus 4.
Myce explained why there were two different numbers.
"In this case both build numbers (JWR66D and JWR53F) mean that they are JellyBean builds from the second quarter of this year and the final number is x-th day in the quarter, in this case 66 and 53," wrote the site. "The final character remarks the build of the day, the D is the fourth build, the F is the sixth build of that day. What the W means is so far unclear. This means both versions are from the end of May, beginning of June."
