Any more specific numbers on battery life? I see it says "days" on the website, but I'm curious if there's an hours number with usage condition specified (ie, screen on, reading a book, etc.)


Source: I was the chief hardware engineer for this device.

Anjan can comment further to see if the team these days has any further optimizations in store, but with my personal Daylight tablet anecdotally, these days I am charging it every other week, and using it for 1-2 hours a day to browse the web and read PDFs. I usually have a low backlight setting on it.


Awesome, thanks!


still doing more testing, but some test results:

- reading without amber backlight: 67 hours - youtube without amber backlight: 30 hours - reading with 30% amber brightness: 30 hours


That sounds fantastic, thanks.
