Johannesburg - Battery life is the last frontier for smartphone evolution. Most smartphones don't last even a working day, and are dead within eight hours.
Until battery life gets there, you need portable power supplies to get your phone through the day and into the evening.
Arthur Goldstuck looks at some great examples from Red-E, Sony and Spyder in his weekly Goldstuck on Gadgets in the video below.
He says increasingly, these will become crucial accessories as smartphones take over the cellphone market in Africa.
"Bear in mind that these are just a few examples of what is becoming available. Different formats and portable chargers with varying capacity are beginning to arrive in South Africa.
"Soon, you won't be able to use a dead phone as an excuse."
