Talk time on 3G is topping smartphone.bg's charts at 25 hours

Internet browsing (10,5hrs) is a tad behind the efficient iPhone 5S, but FAR ahead even the Note 3

3D gaming is also topping the charts (4,6hrs)

Damn, impressed!

Specially considering that amount of browsing time on an AMOLED screen. I think movie playback will be even higher due to AMOLED advantages.

The same was with note 2 on 4.1.1. Great battery life with 7-8h screen time and now with new updates i have 4h screen max with the same apps. So don't be so optimistic.

Under my experience on the Nexus 4, KitKat is great for consistent battery performance.

Video playback continued 557 minutes, which is equivalent to about 9 hours and 17 minutes

For Galaxy S4 (review from same site):

The capacity of the battery is depleted after 230 minutes (3 hours and 50 minutes)

So true. 4.1.1 gave the best battery life, 4.1.2 a litterateur le bit worse but still very good, but 4.3 is disaster. Battery drains so hard even no wakelock! So I had to rollback to 4.1.2 with my lovely Perseus kernel. Hope a change in Kitkat update.

Some comments on battery life here:


I watched this video but I can't take his findings seriously as all the battery stats he showed weren't accurate representations. He didnt charge the device to 100% and then he re-charged it as some random time not allowing the stats to reset.

I'll try to get better, but don't worry, the phone is released soon, and the @community will contribute. :good:

    Hey all,

    Here is my battery life. Not terrible, but not nearly as good as many of you. This is after minimal use. Email, some web browsing and about an hour's worth of podcast streaming. 58% after 12 hours on battery.

    From what I gather, my phone is experiencing wavelock. The Screen-on time vs. awake time is confounding. I contacted Verizon and they sent me a new battery, but my issues continue.

    I can send any interested parties a screenshot of my battery stats, as I cannot post a pic, being a new member.

    Thanks!

    Battery life depends on many different things. So it varies a lot. Even with the same hardware and firmware installed.
    One main influence is the usage.

    For posting screenshots/attaching files, you need some few more posts. Then in "Go Advanced" (underneath the post input box) you should get an option to "Manage Attatchments" ... at least when browsing xda in a browser.

    If you have concerns about your battery life, there are some nice apps available to help you finding potential culprits draining the battery.
    For example GSAM battery monitor or Better Battery Stats (BBS) from Play store.
    You can also check the BBS thread for further information about how to optimize your battery life ... and if you post a BBS dumpfile there and ask for help, you will get some useful advices.

    EDIT:
    Here are my current battery stats after about 8.5 hours of sleeping ... auto-sync disabled, but mobile data enabled all the time.
    (Still on stock G900FXXU1ANE2 with stock kernel ... without any manual system tweaks/undervolting/underclocking/etc. and no power saving mode)

    How can it be better than Note 3, I am confused.



    Could be many things, the better screen : battery ratio, fresher SoC, Android / TouchWiz version, improved radios, heat management, screen tech... but wait and see for other results.

    I'm quite sure it's related to this: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Gala...e-to-Lucid-Logics-battery-saving-tech_id53325

    Playwares battery wifi and white screen test is done

    Playwares measured the S5's heavy wifi browsing endurance (5 second page refresh, orange bars) and I think white constant image drainage at 230cd/m2 (blue bars), and it beats out the G-Flex, S4, Note 3, iPhone 5 & 5s etc., only two phones doing better browsing are the Note 2 and G Pro 2.
