Nokia has pushed out another Lumia 800 update, which finally appears to have cracked the handset's battery woes and almost triples its staying power.
The Finnish outfit played Numberwang [1] again with firmware update 1600.2487.8107.12070, which rolled out across Singapore this week.
As well as managing screen brightness better and adjusting the camera's white balance, the Lumia battery increase [2] is where the real improvements lie, with WPCentral reporting a boost of nearly triple that of previous tests.
The Lumia 800 update has yet to be pegged in for a European release, but it's likely to be on the way soon after the previous two Lumia updates [3] had minimal affect. ®
