I think that battery life expectations are increasingly becoming unreasonable. People seem to want their phone batteries to last for days. This is not and may never be the case with moderate to heavy use, especially as new technology continues to outpace the capacity of batteries. Playing 4K video, doing all of your web browsing on your phone, and playing processor intensive games on your phone...all the while doing the same things you're used to (productivity, phone, email, Instagram, FB, and the like) will never get you throughout the day.
However, I like the N6 because of what it does to accommodate convenience in charging. Quick charging has actually been the greatest feature ever. Thirty minutes is all it takes to get a reasonable charge with this phone. I can't tell you how many times this was a lifesaver in the airport, or on trips, or on busy days. And second, wireless charging out the box means I can maintain good battery health overnight. I had a GS3 before this and my phone would always charge in 3 hours and still be charging when I woke up. I have heard repeatedly how overcharging your phone is bad for your battery's long-term health. Wireless charging is slow charging and my wireless charger essentially shuts off when the phone reaches 100%. I also bought an external battery for those long days when you just know your phone isn't going to make it.
I think all three of those things make this phone's battery life incredible given its screen size and multitasking capabilities. I still am surprised when I turn on my phone and realize I have 30 apps and browser windows open and I'm still doing things without any lag or stuttering. So I definitely would not call battery life disappointing.
