Officially the cell should offer around 610 hours of standby time whilst connected to a 3G network and over 8 hours of actual talktime. In theory though these figures vary greatly depending on how people use their phone so what can the average user expect? Realistically we would expect around two days of use from the model and that is with a little web browsing and gaming thrown in with calls and messaging. Inevitably when you first purchase the model you will be lucky to stretch to a day as you try out all of the features but once the novelty wears off the two days use is very impressive considering how powerful this phone actually is.  Connectivity plays a major part in the modern phones usage with a variety of functions requiring an online connection or access to a cellular data service. The Nexus 7 Stylus offers a wealth of options and really does cover all bases in this department. The most widely used system is WiFi and the handset enables you to connect to a viable network in order to achieve great connection speeds. Whilst on the subject of WiFi there is a new variant on this device known as WiFi Direct.
