I've heard both ways on this,so let's try to settle this now. Comparing screen On time and standby time.
How timely, an employee of mine just got the S5 4 days ago, and she is really concerned about its battery life. She says it was great the first 3 days but is now draining very fast. I made some adjustments to her settings, and we went to Verizon and they made a couple of other adjustments and hopefully it will be better. Personally my M8 gets great battery life. Her On screen time was about 2:20 and mine is about 5:50.

Not to defend Verizon, but I have Verizon too, and like I said I get great battery life on my M8. My employee is on Verizon and her S5 is getting terrible battery life. The Verizon reps say they have been getting a lot of complaints about the S5s battery life. It's just not what folks were expecting.

I for one am grateful that it has been IMPOSSIBLE to get less than seven hours of screen time in a 24hr period on my G Flex, if I go two days with everything on then I may see more like five-ish hours possibly.
Then it's not impossible

By two days I do indeed mean 36-50 hours off the mains. Last time I ran the battery out in less than 24 hours I had the screen on OVER TEN HOURS browsing in Opera. And Opera was 40% battery drain, screen was 27%.
I'm sure a lot of that is because the screen is only 720p on your flex. You have to remember the m8 has a 1080p screen. More pixels packed into a smaller screen is going to use more of the battery

So anyways, m8 vs s5 when it comes to battery life?

My experience was s5 to be much better. Steaming music really seems to suck battery on the m8. 1.5 hours of Pandora and 2 hours of screen on and it's dead.

M8 has better battery life with streaming music or video
