I don't want to ruin the moment... but any info about battery life on Nexus 4?
I don't want to waste ~u$s360 with a device that longs 4/5 hours...
Thanks.
And how are we supposed to gather this type of information?
Wait for hands on reviews!

According to gsmarena, it has a 2100 mah battery

Yeah, the big downside of a non-removable battery is the inability to upgrade if the battery life sucks. I can go over 24 hours on my Sensation with moderate use thanks to the extended battery I purchased for it.
It's a far cry from the GNexs 1750mAh battery, the 2100mAh battery in this should last a little longer.
I heard somewhere (for the life of me I cannot remember where) that it has somewhere around 12 hours talk-time. Of course that's yet to be confirmed...
well your basically getting a gnex with 350mah extra battery. and this time they are using a Li-polymer battery instead of the normal Li-ion so the battery will not degrade in about 2 years it will still hold a good charge.
anything's better than the iPhone 5's 1700 mAh batter
As seen in the pdf manual, there are only two little screws keeping you from removing the battery

1440 mAh.
That said, it's not only about mAh -- the iP5 holds pretty close to the Maxx from a lot of reviews.

Exactly. But Android phones, particularly the high-end ones, require an added boost. The iPhone 5 doesn't need the extra battery power; Apple have been very clever when it comes to power consumption. It's impressive.

I took a review concerning this topic:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-O...-Galaxy-S-III-claims-an-LG-experiment_id35585
LG Optimus also has 2100mAh (I know, doesn't have to be same manufacteur) and the same components and it has a really good battery life.
Always better than S3.
+ LG says that their battery has more charging cycles. In the data sheet of Nexus 4 and Optimus G it says 800 instead of the usual 500:

Nice!
2100mAh should be pretty good, especially without LTE.

One other small thing to note, the battery is a bit higher voltage than your standard cell. 3.8v vs 3.6v, so that works out to 7.98Wh vs 7.56Wh.

Mine was giving me about 36 hrs with moderate use on ARHD ? Like a year ago ? Besides this phone will have so many kernels and rooms to choose from in like a month or so that will help you get better management of it that I just don't see it being an issue ??? And chances are you might not even have it after two years when the battery starts degrading ...
hello guys,
i'm thinking to buy this tablet, now i got ipad 3...
what is your opinion about this tablet after a good use? is battery comparable to the ipad one?
there is any know great problem?
thx a lot
I did a comparison on this tab vs ipad 4 and it performs twice as good and less laggy. Also has lower frame drops across the bosrd which is a bonus. App store isnt quite as good, but definitly a supperioir tablet. I get ab8ut 2 hours exfra battery life over the ipad 4 with mynormal usage. Some people say they get less or equal - it all comes down to what you do on it. This was a very nice upgrade over the 4 and is better than my iphone 5s too.
They both have strengths and weaknesses.

I think the samsung is fine on battery life. It will last you the day easy on heavy use. Especially if you root and remove bloatware . I think if a tab lasts the day on heavy use there's not much to complain about as you can just charge over night

It does "OK" on battery life. Both my N3 and N10.1-14 get worse battery life than the N2 and N10.1-12 they replaced. It's to be expected as both have double the pixel count of their predecessors. The batteries on both are larger but don't compensate for the higher PPI displays and additional features. Speaking of which, I like the additional features so accept the battery life consequences. Depending on your definition of "bloatware" a de-bloated N10.1-14 with its functionality removed is pretty comparable feature-wise to an iPad. I agree though that you can make it through a day pretty easily on a charge.
My biggest ***** is that it takes forever to charge; especially when the S-800 N3 is one of the fastest charging devices on the planet. Using a standard micro-USB port for charging is great for compatibility but the 30-pin charger made a huge difference in charging time. The battery in the N10.1-14 is 15% larger than the N10.1-12 but takes 30% longer to charge. I bet the LTE (S-800) N10.1-14 does better because of Qualcomm's QuickCharge feature.
It does the a while but if it's done overnight it's ok, mine from about 10 percent takes 4 hours. In bloatware I mean useless things that take resources, samsung hub, apps, push service, chat on, my magazine. It doesn't reduce any features what so ever, it actually enhance s it, the battery lasts longer it's smoother and you can select any or all apps to be MW and pen window compatible

I'm not rooted yet, but love this tablet. I'm learning more about it daily. Only downside is that I don't believe we'll get many custom roms. Development is almost non existing.
Steve
I have P605 with S800 and et takes 4 hours to charge starting on 5 % battery left. But I agree that the battery life is at least 1 hour screen use less than the 2012 model. But this is now, lets see with future ROM optimizations even stock ones. I am sure battery life will improve. The same happent with 2012.
I had the note 3 the battery was terrible and i really thought we'd be getting atleast 4000mah as some websites stated but 3220mah aren't you guys concern? Seems like a joke to me.

I was under the impression that the Note 3 had pretty good battery life... at least that was what I was able to discern from reviews.
Can someone else who also owned the Note 3 chime in?
Watch this and you won't be concerned about battery any more:
https://www.google.de/url?sa=t&sour...Ot9BGMeI02GwNY_Zw&sig2=jB_BFvUf5EMKyJdT_ZwXOw
This video shows that the Galaxy S5 with Snapdragon 805 and QHD Display doesn't use more battery than the "old" Galaxy S5. So Samsung seems to have found good ways for battery saving.
I am not concern. I plan to get 2 extra battery and a external charger. The Note 3 version was like $30. Whick brand is good? Anker?

You would be correct. The Note 3 Battery life was pretty damn good. I never had issues with it, and if you look over the N3 forum you'll see some pretty outstanding results :good:
I expect the N4 to have been tweaked a little and the battery to be either on par or at least very very similar to the N3.

The Note 3 was widely regarded as having some of the best battery life for any phone of that time.
If anything wall hugging iphone users have something to be worried about with their copycat device, "Retina HD" welcome to 2012 Apple and the battery size, hardly a mention because we KNOW its smaller than Samsungs.
My note 3 has pretty decent battery life. Just make sure to disable a bunch of stuff that you don't need for best results.

since 4.4.2 update WiFi battery usage increased. so i got battery drain...
But i change setting to turn off WiFi when screen off and Battery Life became normal
On Note 4 they claimed for more optimization for power + UltraPower Saving mode...
so we have to wait for reviews and our experiences...
:good:
Even though I was disappointed they didn't include a bigger battery, I'm not concerned about battery usage on Note 4. I don't think they would've made a big deal about battery usage the and better performance on the Note 4, if they didn't have something to back that up. It would've been much simpler to not mention the 7% improvement, or just say they increased the battery by 20mAh. I'm expecting a somewhat better performance compared to the Note 3, which is fine.

The battery is still bigger than the iphone 6+'s and you can always swap it out and with quick charge feature 0-50% in 30 minutes, how long does an iphone take?
It's not how big the battery is, but how it's used. I have Note 3 and I saw as much as 40% drain overnight, when phone was not used at all, right after updating to KitKat and I also managed to have as little as 1% drain overnight, after killing some of bloatware. I can't pinpoint anything in particular, but it could be more than one program. Right now for example Google search is draining my battery more than all other programs combined and I'm not doing anything with the phone at all. I don't want to kill it, since I use it sometimes, but if it keeps doing it I may have no choice. Anyhow if Note 3 is working properly it can have fantastic battery life.
According to what I read so far Note 4 screen should be something like 14% more efficient than older version, despite having higher resolution, CPU and rest of hardware should be at last as good as older models and there should be ultra power saving mode, so I wouldn't worry about power that much, unless some program or programs crash and go bananas, but at least software issues can be fixed, just a matter of effort. For example many claim factory reset fixes excessive battery drain right after firmware update, which I had personally.
If you are concerned, you could always buy a ZeroLemon battery.
Here's the report on Note 4 screen. Remember display consumes the most energy of anything.
http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_Note4_ShootOut_1.htm
Comparison with the Galaxy Note 3:
The Galaxy Note 4 is 14 percent more power efficient than the Galaxy Note 3. This is due primarily to a 19 percent improvement
in the power efficiency of the Green Primary channel (materials and electronics). The results are scaled for the same Luminance.
Comparison with LCDs:
While LCDs remain more power efficient for images with mostly white content (like text screens, for example), OLEDs are now
more power efficient for mixed image content because they are emissive displays so their power varies with the Average Picture
Level (average Brightness) of the image content. For LCDs the display power is independent of image content. OLEDs have
been rapidly improving in their power efficiency. In fact, the Galaxy Note 4 is 40 percent more power efficient than the
Full HD LCD Smartphones we tested for mixed image content (that includes photos, videos, and movies, for example)
with a typical 50 percent Average Picture Level, APL.

SOC should use the same power as other Snapdragon 805 powered devices (hint: Qualcomm generally makes pretty power efficient smartphones).

Since i always post the same problem, battery life could be better, will probably get 8-9 hours, with 3-4 screen time. Gonna keep it stock kernal so its more stable.

It's 2600 mAh, not 2800 mAh. And why do you think it won't be enough? They're probably making AMOLED even more efficient than it was last year and the new Exynos SoC is up to 30% more efficient than current offers because of the 14 nm half node.
They are slapping power user in the face with non removable battery. Now instead of carrying spare battery I need to bring a chunky PowerBank. Can't Samsung realize they are not apple and they abandon their core audience do them no good?

Like I said, if these rumors get confirmed, it's quite possible that the GS6 will perform better than current smartphones, even with a smaller battery. Which in that case allows a slimmer, lighter device.

If the phone is getting a QHD Screen I doubt that there will be any better battery results than the other mainstream smartphones.
Just compare the Note 3 vs Note 4.
What about a poll with:
a) I want a phone slim like a post card with 3-5 hours SOT
b) I want a phone slim like a S3/One/Lumia with 12-15 hours SOT

The QHD on the Korean S5 LTE-A had about the same battery life as the US variant. Therefore, the QHD on the S6 should have the same...if not better battery life even with a smaller 2600 battery. I wouldn't worry too much about...my only complaint is that it'll be non-removable

I'll take Option C. A phone that is 12mm thin and has more like 20 hours of SOT.
There's no point in making super powerful smartphones, if we can't use them like the pocket sized PCs that they have evolved into. I'm sure there are many people who would love to use their phone to get actual work done without having to worry about the battery. Also, since batteries wear out over time, I'd rather have a bigger battery than what would seem to be big enough at first.

Because the CPU/GPU only within the same generation range on 1080P(note3) and 2K(note4) though on paper spec. the latter one should be a lot better but still same generation and indeed that kind of power isn't enough to push 2K. Hence, the CPU/GPU will always require to run at a higher clock and battery draining even just on 2D.
S6 is running a whole new CPU with 14nm manufacturing process, the situation should be much better though but I agreed 1080P is enough on a tiny screen and I also prefer more battery life.
Is the battery removable?
I don't think so
The battery will NOT be 2600 for the MILLIONTH TIME. IT'S ANNOYING ME HOW blind all these websites and you lot are. The info is right in front of you the batteries were for G925 WHICH IS THE CODE FOR THE S EDGE. NOT S6
SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? S6 WILL BE MORE JUST LIKE WITH THE NOTE
NOTE 4 BATTERY 3220
NOTE EDGE BATTERY 3000
NOW STOP SAYING IT'LL BE 2600.
Its funny to see how rumors, leaks and teasers mess with people's brains and expectations, the media really knows how to get in your heads. We will know by sunday's time, then all of you will really have something solid to criticize until the next device comes up, so just hang in there. I just hope it lasts me the whole day on moderate use, so that I can charge it overnight
Butthurt much?
Battery size difference of 200 mah is meaningless. What matters is actual battery performance. Is there a correlation? Sure. Does every phone last same length of time with the same capacity battery? Hell, no.

Anybody find any links to S8 vs S8+ battery life comparison​? I want the S8 for size in my pocket and easy to reach fingerprint scanner. Want to see tests of the S8 vs S8+ vs S7 Edge battery life comparison...
I cancelled my preorder to wait for battery life reviews, bigger screens and higher resolution and same sized battery (smaller for s8+ than s7e) doesn't seem like the processor will be able to offset the drain. And also wondering if the exynos will be more efficient with battery life than sd as last year was. I use to have sd820 s7e and now I'm using international exynos s7e and do wish I originally bought the international one

Phone arena did some testing and found that it comes out on top over the S7E. It also beat the Pixel XL and Oneplus 3T. Of course people need to do there own testing to be sure.
It's not just the SoC being more efficient that can save battery. Displaymate.com have noted that the panel is not only better but also more energy efficient. The software is no doubt better optimised and that can also mean battery savings. Anyway, in the tests in ran for 8 hours which isn't bad. Add fast charging and it's fine for most people.
Next time I do hope they increase capacity, I don't want slimmer phones, I would prefer a larger battery. We never seem to benefit from improved power efficiency, it's always more of the same. They have supposedly improved the battery tech in the S8, it should hold charge better over time. We might only lose 5% over a year instead of 20%. That is better in the long run.
I think they purposely made the battery small to prevent the chance of phone explosion, that is absolutely the last thing they need right now and I don't think they want to risk that., but I'm rooting for the s8/s8+ to have great battery life. I'm hoping the battery stats r near identical between the two models so I can get the smaller s8 and not feel like I got jipped on battery life, and I read some early test that the 8895 exynos will be better than snapdragon.
