A whole day?

Galaxy Note 4 has the same mAh battery, so maybe something close to it.

• 4h 26m of screen on time ~ 21% left (Source: Android Authority)
• 5h 15m of screen on time ~ 27% left (Source: Pocketnow)

Without the heavy touchwiz skin and the Android L optimizations I'm estimating the Nexus 6 will give 5 to 6 hours of screen on time.

Android l previews were getting around 30% better battery life over kitkat.... So it should last all day with 6+ hrs screen time .... Depending on useage

30% is a stretch, It won't be that much, I wouldn't believe the hype. Expect 10-15%, but you also have the new battery saver mode.

I think it will be better than the G3 and worse than the OnePlus.

Possibly 3 - 3.5 hours screen on time for heavy users and 4 hours for most users, for users who spent more time managing the phone like me probably 5.
There is still a way to go for battery tech, it's not going to be giant leap out of no where.

To last longer than the Nexus 5...

It should last longer than my Note 2 which lasts me through the entire day...

Re: What are your expectations for battery life?

I can make it through a day just fine with my current phone (which I believe has a 2600 mAH battery), so I'm not too worried. I do wonder how they come up with these measurements, though. On the Nexus 6 page listing, they estimate 9.5-10 hours of Internet use, but what does that take into account? I try to optimize my phone for battery life as best I can, but if I'm browsing the Internet hardcore, my battery is almost dead after 3-ish hours. I can't imagine being able to actually keep the screen on, browsing for 9+ hours without needing to plug in to stop the battery from dying halfway through.

I think that test is that you unplug it and set it right next to the router and load web pages until it dies, never doing anything else.

I'm hoping for at least 6 hours screen on time. I have a Z2 that gets anywhere between 6-7 hours... I suppose we'll see.
