The  recent smartphone's battery life  isn’t bad, but it isn’t awesome, either. With careful use, you can make your phone’s battery last all day. If you want to work your phone hard, however, particularly when you’re traveling or otherwise away from places to recharge the device, you need a battery case. We’ve looked at many battery cases for the smart phones. All of them plug into your phone’s charging / lightning connector, and all of them work basically the same way: You charge the cases up by plugging them into a wall adapter or USB port, and you activate them when you want to start charging up your phone’s built-in battery. If your smart phone is inside a battery case and you plug in the case to recharge it, your phone recharges first, and only afterwards does the case start charging. The best phone "Battery cases" should be easy to toggle on and off, simple to charge, and capable of providing a good indication of how much battery life remains in the case.

Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics Company (or simply Rockchip) is mostly known for its low-power silicon which powers numerous entry-level tablets, smartphones, digital frames, personal media players etc. The company recently unveiled its high-performing chips, the RK 3000 Series. The company from Mainland China is powering vast majority of set-top-boxes, digital picture frames, personal media players and of course, numerous low-end tablets and smartphones. Given every product we've seen so far, you would not put Rockchip in the same class of product as Qualcomm Snapdragon, Nvidia Tegra, TI OMAP or Samsung Exynos. At Computex Taipei 2012, the company unveiled products based on the RK3066, first-generation dual-core chip based on ARM Cortex-A9 processors and using Mali-400MP as the GPU.
