Battery life is the same as what other people have reported. I play around with my phone a lot and it lasts me the entire day. Reception, sadly, is also what I'm used to with sprint. Call quality is fine but 4g is not. If I'm out and about, the 4g works fine. But if im in doors, especially big concrete buildings, then my 4g often drops because of the poor penetration of Sprint's signal. In homes, the 4g works well. But in Malls, big shops, business buildings, etc., my 4g is in and out.
