No word on battery size nor battery life yet, but our guess is that neither should disappoint.

Dimension-wise, the W1 is a girthy phone, cutting a silhouette that's just about 10mm -- so, it stands far outside the "world's thinnest" category that we've heard so much about at this CES. It also bears a bit of heft which we can't ascribe to its battery size.
Interestingly, the One doesn't come with a microSD slot (as featured on the Japanese and Asian Butterfly variants) and Qi wireless charging (as featured on the Verizon versions of some HTC flagships), but Chou wasn't too keen on addressing these drawbacks, and neither was he up for talking about the seemingly smaller battery size when compared to some of the competition.

Somebody will probably come up with a battery the size of a few Duracells and it will power the car for hours on end.
But if you wanted to play Real Racing HD on your iPad for a month straight or drive your Tesla from Seattle to Miami on a single charge, you'd need a battery the size of a freight train.
Just 12.2mm slim (measurement excludes lens cover), which is smaller than the thickness of a standard AA-size battery, the Cyber-shot TX55 is the world's thinnest camera in its class (among cameras with an optical anti-shake function).
Hypothetically speaking, body panels already used on a vehicle could be treated with the battery-like spray paint potentially replacing, or at least reducing, the size of bulky battery packs used on current hybrids and electric vehicles.

Although STX is developing thinner hybrid drives to compete with solid-state drives, we think PC manufacturers prefer the latter due to their lower battery demand and smaller size.

Besides the addition of a built-in speaker, the main changes here involve screen size and battery life: the V30K sports a 3.5-inch TFT LCD (compared to the 2.5-incher on the S, though both share the same QVGA resolution) and promises up to 8 hours of video or 25 hours of audio playback on a full charge (as opposed to the meager 2.5 and 12 hour lifespans for video and audio, respectively, on the S).
Like a laptop, slates will be judged on factors such as speed, screen size, and battery life.
Once you've found your way in, though, you'll find a 1, 650mAh battery, plus full-size SIM and microSD slots.

Sinofsky explained that "you're in this loop" of ever increasing screen size, more battery to support it and, naturally, more weight.
According to Dr Tamanaha, the laboratory has developed a portable, battery-powered unit the size of a shoebox, and has licensed its technology to Seahawk Biosystems, a firm based in Austin, Texas, for food-testing and environmental applications.
Before my serendipitous encounter, I had my eye on the Motorola 89442N Universal External Cell Phone Battery, a pack about the size of a phone with a bantam micro-USB arm.

All three Android-powered smartphones are built with top-of-the-line materials, are small in size, big on battery life and packed to the gills with the best experiences Google has to offer.
Talking with Asus executives about their new baby, the picture emerges of a project where unusual resources were dedicated to rapid development and engineering, and unusually narrow margins and tolerances are built into the final product, in order to meet the requirements for size, weight and battery life.

The battery-powered devices, about the size of a videocassette, use Global Positioning System technology to report where a trailer is (Orbital Sciences also owns Magellan, the largest producer of GPS receivers).
The petite size naturally means a smaller internal battery (rated for 4.5 hours, compared to the original's six), but JayBird let us know that the Sprint is acoustically identical to the JF3.

Each submunition is the size of a D-cell battery with a distinctive white ribbon, and the design of their fuze system makes each one very sensitive and liable to detonate if disturbed.
Canon opted to use microSD cards here, due to the camera's small size, along with a rechargeable battery that can be replenished through the USB connector -- a new Eco mode will enable an up to 30-percent boost in battery life, with the display powering down after eight seconds, then waking up when the built-in gyro sensor detects movement.
Researchers have demonstrated a flat, "stretchy" battery that can be pulled to three times its size without a loss in performance.
The result is a prototype battery that can expand to three times its normal size, but can still last for eight to nine hours.
You see, the larger the physical size of the phone, the larger the battery you can fit in there.
The medium size, the Boost, is a 2000 milliamp battery that doubles as an iPhone viewing stand thanks to a cleverly-placed hinge.

Some believe a higher resolution display and LTE connection will require Apple to put a larger battery in the device, limiting its ability to shrink the overall size.
That new hardware is evidently smaller than what it's replacing: though the Pro shares the same size chassis as its predecessor, it packs a 74Wh battery (the older Blade has a 60Wh cell).
It now has two USB ports instead of one, a microSDXC slot, micro USB charging, backlit LCD screen, higher capacity 3300mAh (8 hour rated) rechargeable battery and is 50% faster, all while maintaining the same size and form factor.

The larger size of the gadget will also mean it has a longer battery life.
The battery compartment also needs extra packaging, and it adds to the complexity and the size of the device.
