Its no [Droid RAZR Maxx HD](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/05/motorola-announces-droid-razr-maxx-hd/), but Kyocera's Dingo S just _might_ be the trick longevity lovers in the land of the rising sun are looking for. This 4.7-inch Android 4.0 handset's 2,520mAh battery claims to have the largest capacity of any sub 5-inch device in Japan, promising more than 18 hours of talk time, and between 580 (3G) and 720 (LTE) hours on standby. If that isn't quite enough power for you, you won't have to wait long for a recharge: [Kyocera](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Kyocera/) says the Dingo S can go from 0 to 50 percent in only half an hour. No word yet on price and availability, but the 1.5GHz dual-core device will be available through [KDDI](http://www.engadget.com/tag/KDDI/) in white, pink and blue at launch.
