New technology could improve the battery life of your smartphone

Do you wish there was a technology that allows our smartphones remain charged twice as long? If so, read on entonce.
Eta Devices is a company founded by two professors from the prestigious MIT, and reputedly has the technology to make this possible. Joel Dawson and David Perreault, founders of the firm and the aforementioned MIT faculty, claim to have the solution to the energy problems with most modern phones, something that has not happened to before. In any case, it seems that the low battery life of many smartphones should amplifier. Is our phones and tablets are used amplifiers that convert electricity into radio signals, but it seems that these amplifiers absorb too much battery power, which makes them wear faster and sometimes the phone is noticeably warmer.
Eta Devices has designed and is testing a new type of amplifier you plan to implement next year. If initial tests are successful, it is likely that the battery life of smartphones will see duplicated.
Great, is not it?
