You're reading Engadget. What did you expect? They live for specs.

I very much doubt the actual consumer pitch is going to be like this.

Fair point. Maybe it's because I'm not an avid mobile gamer, but what apps demand specs like this? I guess even in a technical discussion, I would expect to see some benchmarking like "2,000mAh battery provides 2.5h more hours of battery life, etc"

It is not easy to provide those numbers because there are no standards for battery tests. 2.5 hours of what? Browsing? Video playback? What level of brightness? In an area of weak signal or perfect signal?

I would say it's easier to provide numbers when there are no standards; just make up your own tests (see "Smoked by Windows Phone").
