It's the start of a new year and surely we've all read several "Best of 2013" lists ad nausem. But I thought I'd share an interesting infographic I was sent titled 'Smartphone Shortcomings', which examines one of the biggest complaints about smartphones - namely battery life. Count me in as a complainer. Nothing worse than playing Hill Climb Racing or Jetpack Joyride and feel your smartphone getting hot enough to fry an egg (sorta) due to the higher CPU & GPU utilization and watching the battery drain from full to zero in just 3 hours of game play.

Hill Climb Racing

Besides draining the battery more quickly when playing high CPU/GPU games, the high temperatures are bad for the battery and shorten its lifespan. So where are we today with smartphones and where are we going tomorrow? Check out this infographic to learn more. I for one cannot wait for graphene supercapacitor batteries and graphene-based chips, which will revolutionize smartphones, tablets, and electric cars!
