Wireless vs mobile internet for battery life?

Alkers · 2011-11-21 03:08:30

As above which will result in battery living longer: wireless on with mobile internet disabled or wireless disabled and mobile internet on? Data isn't an issue and I spend most of the time in places with wi-fi.

I generally find that Wifi is the big battery killer for me. Yet i know people that are light users and have wifi on all the time. Weather their at home connected or not and still manage to get a good two days of battey life on a smartphone.

So meh
