Anybody concerned with battery?

[Jeremy8000]

My main concern is that it is a sealed battery. How does one change it in a year when capacity diminishes?

One doesn't easily change it. But I've had my N4 for close to a year (got it last December), use it VERY heavily, and have not noticed a decrease in its charge duration.

Then you buy the Nexus 5.2.

Lol, I buy every two to three years. Probably put it on the carrier to fix it.

According to reports the phone would last you about 8 hours during browsing and 6 hours of video watching, and in my opinion that is not good battery life. Whats your opinion let me know.

Link please.

8 would be good, but I doubt it, I saw many smartphone benchmarks give screen on times 30-50% over the real world test.

There is no phone that gets anywhere near 10 hours of screen time. The best I've seen was around 7 hours and it was the G2. Also saw a Note 3 with 7 hours

I got more than 8 hours.

I'm still debating between Nexus 5 and LG G2, main concern battery.

I was and am still concerned about battery life. However, I bought a 32GB black one anyways. It is worth it to me to try it out and worst case scenario, I return it and may or may not have shipping deducted from my refund.

Something that hasn't been mentioned is the improvement to music listening due to the new audio channeling functionality. From the Android Developers page for 4.4:

For high-performance, lower-power audio playback, Android 4.4 adds platform support for audio tunneling to a digital signal processor (DSP) in the device chipset. With tunneling, audio decoding and output effects are off-loaded to the DSP, waking the application processor less often and using less battery.

Audio tunneling can dramatically improve battery life for use-cases such as listening to music over a headset with the screen off. For example, with audio tunneling, Nexus 5 offers a total off-network audio playback time of up to 60 hours, an increase of over 50% over non-tunneled audio.

The G2 battery is no joke, it's the best battery I've had on any phone, and I've had a lot of phones. I'm not sure how the nexus 5 will be but has the same processor as the G2. The G2 has a bigger battery but, I've had phones with batteries it's size and the battery life wasn't this good. From what I've heard the snapdragon 800 is real good for batteries.

Already have a GS4 so I don't need to buy one. Going to buy myself a Nexus 7 though

 

[dvrmstrng]

I'm worried about it. Coming from a Note 2 that doesn't even make it through my 12 hour work shifts due to heavy usage. Worst case is I have to keep a charge cord with me while at work most of the time.

Would of bought it, too big for me though
