Ontrion's extended Li-Ion battery gives our EVO 3D a boost - Value and Conclusion

Stuff03It is almost every Android phone owner’s headache and one of Apple’s bragging points about their products; battery life. If you own an Android phone we can bet the one thing you are probably the most disappointed with it how long the battery lasts. We have now gone through two Android phones (the EVO 4G and the EVD 3D) and while the EVO 3D that we have now is much better than the original it still cannot compete with what the average iPhone 4 (or 4S) gets. However, unlike the iPhone with an Android phone you can always grab a larger battery. Today we are taking a look at one from a company called Ontrion. This extended battery comes complete with a new back (so we do not have to worry about it being an external case) and almost doubles the capacity of the stock battery from HTC. So let’s take a look at what Ontrion has to offer and just how much more life this battery gives our EVO 3D.

Value -
Value is another very subjective topic. What is expensive to some might be a deal to others. You can look at this topic in multiple ways. One is raw price and the other is what you get for the money. Each is accurate and both are correct ways to look at price/value. We tend to look at features, performance and real-property when we discuss value. However, we also take into account the raw cash cost of the item.
Ontrion’s prices are very competitive. We have seen extended batteries cost as much as $80 for our phone. However, you can pick up the 2300mAh battery for the EVO 3D for only $35 from Ontrion’s website. This is a great price for a battery and cover (they call it a door) even with the issues we saw with the camera.

Conclusion -
We are very happy with our Ontrion extended battery (although we wish the 3D camera worked better). It does not add that much weight to the phone and actually makes hanging on to it during conversations a little more comfortable.  Still it is the cost and the extra battery life on our phone that really matters. We actually like to use the advanced features like 3D gaming, imaging, GPS, etc. on the phone and are happy that we can run these without worrying about having a dead phone. In that respect the Ontrion is a great product and one that we can highly recommend to anyone that is looking for an extended battery for their Android phone.
