- Battery
One of the considerable difference lies in the battery, CN version is with Chinese label, using Panasonic battery cell, battery capacity minimum 960 mAh, hasn’t pass FCC certification. International version is with English label, using Sony battery cell, battery capacity minimum 990mAh, and has pass CE & FCC certification. (US edition has pass CE & FCC & CRUUS certification, EU edition has pass CE & FCC & KC certification.) The battery of International version performs much better than CN version, and longer life.
