Expected lifespan for 2300mAh battery?

That pic disputes several of the things you claimed.
Is this confirmation that your posts were facetious?

I couldn't tell if you were messing with us.

JonK...agree with some of your points. Otherwise, agree to disagree The price has nothing to do with other devices having subsidies. You pay the full price of a subsidized price over a 24 month contract, and then some. We can all agree you get a lot for a little buying a Nexus.

Fair enough . We can certainly agree that the Nexus is great bang for your buck and I cant wait for this release. With all the above being said I would think despite the bigger screen, the more power efficient CPU and hopefully more optimized software will yield battery life on par or slightly better than the N4 with a 2300mAh battery. Just speculating though. I would love a bigger battery option but we will just have to wait and see. I am considering getting one of those little charging sticks you mentioned earlier since right now I keep an extra battery for my GNex.

Come again? I don't just let my phone die down to post SOT all of the time lol. The point was battery is a non-issue for me personally on the Nexus 4, and I expect the Nexus 5 to best my Nexus 4 all other things equal. This particular day I was using wifi, with LTE turned on and a TERRIBLE signal, synching everything, auto brightness, some HD netfix and some gaming, it managed 4 hours SOT. No funny business, just real world usuage. If I turned sync off, data off and wifi only, min brightness, underclock/undervolt and change some other kernel settings I could post a much longer SOT. That's pointless to me. If you're the sort of person that's impressed by that sort of thing you can just search a thread or two on XDA regarding Nexus 4's battery and you'll find people posting 6+hour SOT...

Or maybe I'm messing with you

Indeed. Man, I loved my gnex but the battery life was absolutely attrocious. I promise you'd be thoroughly impressed with even the stock Nexus 4's battery life in comparison. If you had a GN2...not so much. The portable batteries are really great just to have around. Highly recommend. We'll just wait and see, but I don't think it's too far off to think the Nexus 5 running Kitkat w/ a 2300mah battery would be about the same as the G2 running a 4.2.2 based (heavy) skinned version of Android. Even the jump from 4.2.2 to 4.3 brought a very noticable improvement on my N4. I don't know if you've had any time with a device sporting the s800, but holy sheet is it a beast. Even running LG's heavy skin or Touchwiz = WOW. Nothing has made me say that until now as my N4 flies. Can't wait to see it running vanilla Android!

Doah....just realized you said GN/Galaxy Note. Not sure how I read it as gnex

No, you were right I meant Gnex (edited my post to clear that up). I didnt realize the N4 was a big improvement in battery over the Gnex. I heard lots of complaints so I assumed it was about the same. As you know battery is a big YMMV situation so its hard to get a good idea of what to expect. I haven't had any time with an s800 yet but I am really excited about the N5. Should be a big leap over the Gnex in many categories. It's been a while since a phone got me this excited.

As long as the battery life is better than my Gnex, I'm happy! I have a 30 minute train ride in the morning, by the time I get there i'm already down to 75%. If I didn't keep my phone plugged in all day at work I'm sure it'd be drained by noon.
