Cost to charge a smartphone

wanderer 22 · 2012-05-26 10:28:35

My gf got a smartphone last week, a samsung Galaxy Ace. It seems as if it needs charging at least every 2 days - Any idea how much it costs to charge each time? I'm assuming its a matter of cents each time??

Yes - an absolutely tiny amount of electricity. Insignificant when compared to things like cookers and washing machines.

In the time it took for you to post this thread your PC and router and the lights in the room all used more energy

Xperia S tells you to unplug the charger every time you finish charging, pain in me hole and its such an insignificant gesture.
