2% in hour of use?

battery indicators are not an exact science. they are in general inaccurate and non-linear. also - the phone stops charging at 100% to prevent damage to battery and it will fluctuate between 98-100% even when plugged in.
don't watch every percentage. stop obsessing. ignore it and lower your level of anxiety.

Depending on your signal, screen brightness and a few other settings. 2% could be perfectly normal

OK just seems like my girlfriends iPhone is lasting longer. Any tips on conserving battery life? Like disabling some stuff?

The iPhone has better idle drain. I guarantee your phone lasts longer when actually in use

Don't just go by the battery indicator an hour after taking your phone off of the charger. Run both phones until they power down due to low battery. I'm willing to bet your Maxx will still be running strong long after the iPhone goes dark.
94% at 2 hours

Also depends on what your doing with it... Is that 2 hours idle time or 2 ours of usage!

That's great battery life! At 89% I usually have around 35-40 minutes of screen on time.
You're on pace for more than 9 hours of screen time
The iPhone probably gets around 4

You cannot compare Apples to Apples here, no pun intended. It really depends on what your phone is doing while idle compared to other devices. I will use my phone for example:
While idling, I have two (2) Gmail accounts polling and one (1) Exchange accounts on push. Exchange includes email, contacts, and calendar, Gmail accounts do not (email, only). I do not have Facebook or Twitter pushing anything. Play store does not "auto update". Besides email, calendar, and contacts, I try to disable all push services except for the core Google services. I also have weather (BE Weather) polling hourly.
I am sure I missed something, but the point is everybodys phone runs differently. I am not even getting into actual screen and app usage while actually using the device.
IMHO, 2% in an hour is not bad at all. 50 hours would be nice to achieve on a charge
EDIT: Also, I am connected to WIFI and BT most of the time with GPS on, NFC Off. If you are on a 4G signal instead of WIFI, your battery will drain faster.

I use WiFi all the time now since I changed to a 1gb per month plan t save money. I'm at 76% left with 7 hours and 2 hours 14 minute screen time. So it is good

I don't turn anything off and if I simply put my phone down and not use it, it drains 1 percent an hour and it drains about 3 percent an hour with moderate use. Two percent an hour is nothing to worry about.

Yeah, battery is a lot bigger and the screen resolution is a lot lower, so I'd certainly hope it would be lol

Wow. The best I've gotten on my S4 was 7H and 24 minutes.

Off charger 9 hours 28 minutes. 50 minutes screen time. Everything on, brightness on auto, screen timeout at 30 seconds. Still at 81% battery.
