[ Review ] Mugen Power 3000mAh Battery Case for Sony Xperia Z

Sony Xperia Z, the first and the most reputed member of Sony Xperia Z family, the then flagship of Sony launched during CES 2013 boosted sales of Sony Mobiles a lot. Everything about Sony Xperia Z is great, from its 5″ 1080p full HD screen with Mobile Bravia Engine 2 and it’s water and dust resistance ability. Being an Xperia Z C6602 user, I am totally satisfied with Xperia Z performance overall but one thing that bothers me is the non removable 2330mAh battery inside it. It is certainly not enough for Xperia Z, it’s full HD display withdraws a lot of battery juice while screen is on. Usually you will find your Xperia Z lasting for around 13 hours on 3G talktime, 6-7 hours of video playback and web browsing. So if you are not near the charging slot, you might think twice to play video on it. I don’t watch to many videos on my Xperia Z but certainly browse internet a lot on it. So to keep my Xperia Z display a lot longer I came across “Mugen Power 3000mAh Battery Case for Sony Xperia Z”.
