Despite the Samsung Galaxy S III shipping with a very respectable 2,100 mAh battery, it isn’t enough for some people. And there are plenty of options for extended batteries on the market, but we hadn’t seen any official ones. However, MobileFun posted a listing for an official Samsung extended battery kit. It comes with a beefy 3,000 mAh battery, almost… Read more

But in the end, he got a 3,300 mAh battery into a Motorola Atrix HD body, without any extensions or custom battery covers. This nearly doubled the… Read more
