Battery life vs. Thounderbolt?

[sloc88]

Anyone have any idea how the battery life will compare? My Thunderbolt is pretty bad. I have to carry 2 batteries to work everyday now. I really dont want to have to do this with a new phone.

CNET did a battery test on the European model which showed that 3.5 hours of HD video streaming over WiFi burned the battery from 100% down to 72%:

XDA users who own the phone are saying they get a full day out of a charge:

Engadget and other reviewers saw similar results to the CNET tests and found they got an average 14 hours of batt life with realistic usage.

It reamins to be seen how LTE will affect batt life, but I can almost guarantee that the batt life in the S3 will be better than the Thunderbolt
