2300mah battery or 2000mah battery for GSM Galaxy Nexus?

---

I'm looking on getting a extended battery for my GSM i9250 Galaxy Nexus. I was woundering if the cheap 2300mah battery from China is any good from ebay listing here.> http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-2300mAh-...ht_6128wt_1052

OR should I go with the more expensive probably the official Samsung Galaxy Nexus 2000mah battery with new back door from Korea, listed here.> http://www.ebay.com/itm/120832462058...#ht_3922wt_802

I want the 2300mah battery cause it sounds more appealing but idk cause that battery is the same size as the factory 1750mah yet its able to give 5x the more battery without enlarging the battery and no back cover. Sounds fake, but idk, What do you guys think?

I personally wouldn't get one unless it supported NFC.

1750 to 2300 in the same form factor?

I bought the LTE extended battery and of course there's a noticeable increase in size, needing the different cover. But is a 550 mAh increase possible in the same size?

Why would a battery influence NFC? Or is the antenna in the battery door or something?

Tapatalk Pro Sig. Yep, boring.

the NFC chip is inside the battery. so the battery has to be official, or at least have NFC chip inside in order for NFC to work.

I wouldn't get the 2350 one, most likely its a cheap knockoff no where near capacity that high. probably lower than the stock battery. Labels are easy to print.

Antenna is in the battery itself.

You are better off buying a stock replacement battery to keep around than to buy cheap any other batteries, no matter the mAH rating advertised.

the extended batteries for the Nexus are bullsh**. normally, an extended battery is at least/close to double the mAh as what the stock is. these 2100 & 2300 batteries are a joke.

just FYI, there are no antenna contacts in the battery door so even if you leave the door off you can still get a signal.

additionally, if you don't mind leaving it off & doing a slight mod, you can get a generic Droid Bionic 4000mAh battery for $12 online and use that instead. the Wh isn't quite as high but it's still 3.7V and will last much longer then even that 2300 one.

If it has more capacity than the stock battery, then its extended. There's no promise of a minimum extra amount of battery over stock to be considered an extended battery. Not sure why you're so up in arms about it. Give it a little time for 3rd parties to make larger extended batteries with fitting battery doors...

There's no way that's actually a 2300mAh battery. Don't buy that lol. If you think the 2000mAh battery is worth it you can go for it, but its only ~14% more capacity, so you can't expect drastic life improvements. As another poster said if you REALLY need extra life you're better off getting another stock battery and a wall charger to swap them.

i realize it's my opinion but it is disappointing considering that 'extended batteries' for practically every other phone out there are nearly double(sometimes even more so). i don't understand why they even bothered making a 2100 'extended' & not just included that as stock with the phone since it goes through battery so quickly. i have my fingers crossed that mugen or seidio will make a worthwhile extended.
