If you're asking about stand by time, it is great. On a day when I haven't used my phone a lot I can get 17 or 18 hours out of it I've never checked the screen on time on those days. When I do around 4 or 5 hours of screen time it only lasts for around 8 hours. I've had good times with the battery on this thing. Probably won't be as good as the moto G but if you only do around 2 hours of screen on time, it should last quite a bit.

You're not one of those who has screen brightness set to 10% are you? Are you running on auto brightness? Do you watch videos and play games or a combination of those?

Sergiusz Jasper: Time for my evening charge...I'm down to 14% battery, 39% of battery used by Screen, 4h 44m screen-on time, various brightness levels. Reassured?
