Battery life compared to Droid 4

[JonK]

So I am ready to give a keyboard-less phone another shot. I am tired of my locked bootloader so I want so sell my D4 and buy a used gnex to hold me over till the next nexus comes out. The one thing I want to know is if battery life is different. My D4 struggle to last through a day of heavy use. I do leave LTE on all the time which I know could help to turn it off but I would like an apples to apples comparison. How does the Gnex compare? Removable battery is definitely a plus but how does single battery life compare with the D4? Thanks for any help.

P.S. anyone care to trade?

D4 is going to have better battery just based off of the screen size. But that should not stop you from getting. A gnex an extend battery will let you make it through a day. As with the trade question I'm not thinking your going to find anyone willing to part with there gnex where all pretty much in love with are phones.

I'm not so sure that this holds true. Now it is hard to compare apples to jelly beans, however, I have the GNex and my wife has the D4. All I know for sure is that she spends a helluva a lot more time with hers plugged in than I do. I use my phone A LOT more than she does too. I don't know for sure what all that means, other than the observation of her charging hers way more often than I do, she has even commented that she wants VZW to replace it because the battery is so bad. BTW, I am rooted/ROMed and she is not.

Interesting your assessment is more accurate then mine as I have never owned a droid 4. Maybe all the bloat and moto skin kills the battery?

Thanks for your inputs. I just got a new refurbed D4 to fix an issue my first had so if I am gonna sell now is the time. If the right deal comes along for a nexus i might snatch it.
