The twelve-hour test, on a real day.
POVA 8's battery pace was tuned against a rig that runs the day the way it actually happens — calls, cameras, transit, screen off. The number on the box came after the curve held up.

Why Curve 2 shows its screws.
On most phones, the screws hide. They live under glue, under glass, under printed graphics that pretend the phone has no inside. We pulled them forward.
The Curve 2's translucent back leaves the architecture visible. The fasteners aren't decoration. They mark a phone that was assembled by someone, that can be opened by someone, that admits how it was made.
It's a small choice that flips a bigger one — phones don't have to look like sealed objects. They can look like things that were built. And things you can build, you can fix.
