Hi,

It's not desired to use the stated battery capacity. During usage/load the battery voltage drops (e.g. 3.7 Volt/100%) and eventually it will reach a point (e.g. 2.7 volt/0%) as indicated by the phone itself when battery is empty. There is still energy left in the battery.

I think the reason to do this is to decrease the wear and tear of the battery thus to prolong the battery charge cycles/lifespan. So if your phone would able to function beyond this critical point it will damage the battery.

This is also applicable for any piece of equipment that uses rechargeable batteries e.g. car, remote control, etc.

regards,

how does the phone only draw up to 4.6W when under load it drains a 2000mAh battery in 3.2 hours? Shouldn't it draw ~6.25W under load with that being the max power draw? (2000mAh/3.2 hours = 6.25W)

The power of eight cores. Care for a five inch HD screen alongside an octa-core SoC for 200 Euros? Archos trumps up with specs that are everything but common for this price range. Thus, we remain curious as to whether the manufacturer manages to fuse the components to a rounded total package. In that case, it would be a small deal breaker.
