I am a huge Nexus phone fan, having owned all four Nexus phones the last few years. But also have owned different phones in-between
But lately to me, long battery life has become my #1 most wanted feature. I hammer on my phone all day during the work week, and none of the Nexus phones last me a full day with my kind of use, and I do install custom ROM's with battery friendly kernels, etc.. still doesn't help.
My Nexus 4 I get around 4h On Screen Time, but only total usage of around 10h - 11h out of the battery before the phone is dead. So that sucks for me, unplug at 6:30am, and by 4:30pm it's pretty much done. My Galaxy Nexus was far worse than that, the G Nex blew on battery.
I use my phone, as an actual phone, go figure I can't understand people that rarely do phone calls, how can't you be on the phone anymore ? For running my business and dealing with clients, approx 2 hours of phone calls per day. GPS Navigation used every day, for at least one hour. Text like crazy all day. Read and send e-mails all day. Surf the web.
Only phone that could handle my type of use was the Note 2. That thing could be hammered hard on a workday and still be going until bedtime with juice still left. No other phone I owned could do that. But the Note was too large for my tastes, hard to one hand use.
Saying all of that, I need the Nexus 5 with the rumored option for 3,000mAh + 32GB storage. But now it sounds like that rumor has been squashed. So I might get the G2 instead, and run a ported Nexus 5 ROM down the road.
battery
I have a note1, running official 4.12 with a different kernel. Battery isn't bad, but I usually never let it get below 50% without at least tapping it a little bit during the day.
Perhaps part of the reason (if it holds true, these aren't official specs) of the smaller battery is maybe 4.4 is a little less power
hungry, or the SOC inside the device, the memory etc, consume less power?
Of course! I'm all set with multiple cheap battery banks strategically placed at work, in the car, and in my briefcase for those times I need the battery boost.
As cheap as $5.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RED-2600mah..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item485af1789d
Nope i will defenitly buy one *-*

I agree with you 200%.
I currently have a GS3 with a 3,000mAh Samsung extended battery and I can do the all day. I was not able to do with 2100 stock.
If 2300 will be confirmed and if they'll not be able two do some crazy optimisation, I'll get a G2 or Z1. My concern is that AOSP on these two devices is zero at the moment.
As 64gb is out of discussion as well as sd card espansion, USB OTG will be very important as 32GB are not enough for me!

Agree on the way a phone should be used and my usage pattern is similar to yours. I can hardly get through a day on a single charge and I would be out of juice by 6-7pm. However, battery life is no concern to me (and many others) at all. I mean, how far are you from an outlet at all times? I have a charger in the office, in my car, in my briefcase and on several strategic locations at home. We switch phones pretty much on an annual basis. The battery won't die in one year regardless of your abuse. So charge your phone whenever you can and ask for smaller batteries for a smaller lighter phones. Also from what I have seen for G2 battery life, at 2300mah the N5 might have enough juice for you and I to go through a day on a single charge.

Yep.
I am more sad, because the N5 is based off the G2, which has a 3,000mAh battery stock. Of all things to cut back on, and not keep the same between the two phones, don't let it be the battery.
What is Googles reasoning behind changing the battery from the G2 in the Nexus 5 ?
Oh well, looks like G2 here I come. And development will pick up big on that phone. Its only been out a few weeks, and the international G2 just came out last week.
Let's see a Nexus 5 ROM posted on the G2, since they are so similar.

N5 is over and inch narrower and and nearly 3 inches shorter. Maybe it has to do with lack of real estate. Besides if we deduct from G2 we should expect 7.5-8h sot.:fingers-crossed:

CM and AOKP ROM's are pretty quick to release new builds, based off the latest Android release. Its not a 4 month wait, maybe 4 weeks worse case.
The G2 is unlocked on T-Mobile, and International version. The ATT version has an exploit out, and said to be easy to root and the work around hasn't stopped custom ROM development.

I just hope that if the battery is this size, that it will at least be able to take a 2.1 amp charge.
It won't affect my decision at all. The battery life on my N4 lasts the entire day on a full charge with moderate on-screen usage, plus I'd rather them sacrifice battery life and megapixels in order to have a quad core beast with a 1080p HD display for the low price of $299.
I'll be buying the Nexus 5 day one, can't wait!
I would buy it even if the battery was the same as the N4. All these battery nerds are getting way too worried about a phone they haven't even used yet. I guarantee that we will not care if you cry about the 2300 battery, have fun in the N4 forum, we will be here, the future.

The future is technically A57/53, 64bit, U-HD, etc...But sure, let's call N5 the "future". If I wanted future I probably would bet on the faster A7x chip. Sadly androids can't use it too...

No. 2300mah will not stop me.
According to anandtech the lg g2 gets 7.9 hrs of battery life on lte web browsing. If you just reduce this proportionally the nexus 5 could get 6 hrs web browsing on LTE which is like double what my gnex gets.
Some people clearly spend every waking minute doing everything they can think of on their phone. The Nexus 5 probably won't work for those people but I expect it to be competitive with the last batch of mainstream flagships, aka the HTC one and galaxy s4. I think Google wanted a thin phone and just like the nexus 7 2013 they reduced the battery size to achieve this goal but only up to the point where battery life would be acceptable for like 90% of users.
I'm getting it no matter what battery it has...even solar!
I'm definitely getting one, my current phone has a 1500 mah battery... so 2300 is a major upgrade for me
Yes
:good: YESSIR! Been waiting on this since first hearing about it, never owned a Nexus device and currently own a Samsung Galaxy Young S6310L, hate Touchwiz & looking for the best stock experience and to start with Android 4.4? Great deal and this phone has a 1300mAh battery so a 2300/3000mAh upgrade should be great, going for the 32gb version which is rumored to have a 3000mAh battery so yes
Looking forward to see what developers has in store for it and maybe I can become one someday
I read a recent article that made claims that our beloved N5's should be able to allow us to chit chat for yogi up to 17 hours!
Anyone ever got over 5-6?
Where do they get these specs? Is there an updated uranium battery i'm not aware of?

3. i wouldnt believe anything that culturemob.com writes.
Nexus 7 talk time is hilarious ? ?. The actual specs are in the google play store and it does list 17 hours of talk time.

You can try to sue every other manufacturer while you're at it too, lol. You didn't actually think Nexus was the first to "stretch the truth" in this way, did you? They can put the devices in low powered operation that normal users would never attempt to get those numbers
The 14 hours that Anandtech got is much more realistic and still that is with extra niceties all disabled.

Lol! I was kidding. I've accepted that corporations and government have carte blanche to lie about everything and believe that is acceptable behavior... and the kicker is that we allowed them to create this scenario!
I can't wait to get 23 hours screen time on the new N6!
Gotta remember ....whoever makes the N6 (Motorola? ) won't let the nexus be as good as their flagship.....and battery is always gonna be an obvious "skimp" item. To cut costs and sell the nexus cheap.

Well I lied. It was two phone calls. It was a 3h phonecall with my friend.. then a 4h phonecall with ANZ (no Time warner down here!)/
These numbers are based on the device running 100% stock and with 0 non stock apps running services in a very good service area if not on wifi.. so essentially the perfect storm.
People are consistently getting their N5 and other devices to over 5 and 6 hours of S.O.T. so I can see it being totally plausible to see insane spec times on a tablet with a much bigger battery.

My N7 2012 goes about 6 days with 6 to 7 hour screen times. But it also sleeps with a drain of less than 0.1 percent per hour. I think it's cause there's hardly anything on it....everything is off, it stays on wifi constantly, and has no radio. I think if it were the 3g model, and not in airplane mode....the radio at least would drain it a bit more.
But yeah....batteries can do much better than most phones currently have. Standby drain will always degrade tho with more features running and radio signal strength for sure.
Can't see phone battery life getting much better than say an lg g2, or Droid maxx or something. Unless the phones get even bigger or battery technology improves so you get more bang at a smaller size.
Guess time will tell.

The demand is certainly there. I think we're seeing more of a focus on battery life with current phones. By using fast CPUs and LTE radios tasks can be completed and get to idle much quicker than before.
Where I'd like to see more progress is from software developers. Many apps and games are draining more than they require and don't focus on optimizing.

Is your phone fresh out of the box? If it is give the battery a few days to break in.

It's an estimate, mine says the same, but it's first full day of use for me. My s7e was the same ,until about 2 weeks of regular use went by. I got 20 hours a day out of my s7e with battery to spare, I expect the same here.
I would recommend giving it a day or 2.

Anybody here upgraded from a Note 8 to Note 9 and can comment on how much better the battery life is?
The note 8 battery life for me has been dissappointing. I just sent mine in for repair and it is coming back tomorrow looking prestine. I started thinking of selling it in its refurb condition on ebay for around maybe 350 and take a hit and get a used Note 9 with the hopes of getting a better battery as a result.
Is this worth it? The improved camera and speakers is also a plus.
But my main concern is battery life. The Note 9s are going on Swappa for 500 bucks on average
This table already indicates that the stamina is similar .. despite the larger battery at Note9. Note8 chipset is more economical..

I have both Note 8 and Note 9. Without bluetooth connection, the average sot for note 8 is 5-6 h. After I bought my galaxy watch, the sot drop to average 3-4 h. The battery life of note 9 is way better. 6 h sot with bluetooth connection with my galaxy watch.

So you're sayin the bigger battery makes no difference?

Yeah and this is all that shows up
Yep, doesn't work on the note 4. It will though on the note 8 or note 9 that you were looking at buying. Hence why I suggested if you want to get a used one on swappa you could ask the seller to screen shot that info for you using this app.

Note9 has a bigger battery, but almost 30% more power in both quiet mode, medium load and high load.
