Can anyone give me a direct comparison on what they experienced with the battery life of the m8 compared to the original One?

One vs. M8 battery life
- Thread starter big70tom
- Start date
Both phones zap battery when lit up and running, but the M8 definitely lasts longer and seems to go a bit longer on each percent, which adds up at the end.
This about sums it all up in one fell swoop tbh :good: --- My M7 was really bad until I swapped the ROM for a GPE but the M8 has been great straight off the bat.
Thank you. I'm switching from my g2 which battery has been great, but I read that in the801 chip battery was severely altered so the m8 actually beats the g2. Ordered the Red one today

I came from a g2. The m8 is awesome but not as battery friendly as the g2. That thing was impossible to kill

For a 2600mah battery the standby and screen on time is insane compared to the M7. I regularly get between 5 and 6 hours of solid screen on time from a full charge. It really is that good and that's with heavy browsing and plenty of video streaming. I haven't done much gaming so I can't really comment on that but all in all the battery has really impressed me so far.

this is my opinion as well. both are great but the G2 wins by a slight margin.
I was in the same boat, I went from a Verizon G2 to the One M8 when the new red version came out. I do love the looks of the M8, the speakers are awesome, display is better IMO, however the rear camera is a lot worse (front facing camera is fantastic though). As far as battery goes, on the G2 when you unplug it you can keep it at 100% for a few hours before it starts going down, the battery on that just lasts forever. I noticed the battery on the M8 is significantly worse, I was using it this morning after fully charging it and using it for about 20-30 minutes it dropped from 100% to 90%. I did the same thing on the G2 and that thing stayed at 100% the whole time.
I'm returning my M8 and going back to the G2. The M8 is also about 1cm taller.

I don't know how you came to that conclusion, the battery can't be "twice as good" as the M7. Better, yes, but not twice as good. It's only a few hundred mAh larger, and it's 400mAh smaller than the G2.
