Most modern phones, also have a 3600- 4000mAh battery. That would equal about 12-15 of Oasis batteries.
As such, the Oasis battery can handle a lot less.
I'm not sure, but believe the Oasis battery to be a single cell battery. If we're lucky, it's a double cell battery.
But if it was a single cell battery, it could mean if the cell goes bad, the device goes dark. (Or, in this case, white).
On a tri- to 5 cell battery for a cellphone, if one cell goes bad, you still have 2 to 4 other cells functioning.

And what does a 4000mAh mobile phone battery cost?
$8US!
You're not going to tell me that Amazon did a good job by saving money choosing a crappy tiny battery, if just making the handle a tiny bit wider (in the likes of an 8th of an inch, to host more battery) could have provided a 1000mAh battery upgrade, or quadrupled to 5x more of battery life, vs the stock ?200 something? mAh?
