Yes, that much is obvious. I suspect what happened was, the engineering department said "we need such and such" and gave the specs and the marketing department said, no make it small and it got stuck with a powerful CPU, many features and a cell which doesn't support these features adequately.
The phone is small but you are forced to carry several spare Li-Ion 3.7V cells with you (I usually have 2 or 3 spares as barely sufficient), so what's the benefit of tiny size? I would rather have one phone twice as large with an adequate cell 4x the capacity and not worry about carrying spares everywhere.
You do any kind of real work, or download something, use youtube or use GPS and it seems to go through the battery in 1 hour.
Keep in mind that Li-Ion cells are dangerous chemistry. If your gets hit on something, it will catch on fire. That includes both Li-Ion, Li-Co and CR123 and L91 Energizer Lithium cells. This is chemistry and not a joke. Plus it will produce dangerous and poisonous gases. Keep that in mind if you carry spares loose in your pocket or tool box or something, they need to be protected in a hard case ideally, against impact.
