Camera phone battery life expectancy
March 17, 2005

Do camera phones inherently use more battery power than regular phones? The phone I like has a camera (the Motorola V551) but I certainly don't need one (a camera, that is) if it's going to compromise battery life.

Not necessarily. Just because a cell phone has an integrated camera, that doesn't mean it automatically zaps more power. Use of a color screen, however, will affect battery life. So if you use your camera (and screen) a lot, you will see a difference. But if use your camera sparingly, you shouldn't notice much of a change. Keep in mind, though, that this will vary among phone models.
