So after 16 days with the device and a couple full battery cycles... with really good mobile signal I can get 4 hours of SOT but the battery is under 15%, poor signal (like at work) it struggles to make 3 hours SOT, and if you go outside in the bright daylight maybe 1.5 hours. I have yet to have a great mobile signal and be on good WiFi all day, that is usually very battery friendly so I am assuming (hoping) 5+ hours SOT is possible under ideal conditions. I find myself charging mid-day quite often and carrying a small charger pack, something I very rarely did with Moto G 2015.
The battery life for high-end features like 21MP camera and 2k display are a tough trade off to get used to... the display is wonderful, bright, vibrant, and super clear, and the camera takes amazing pictures by comparison to many phones.
I am literally on the fence of switching back... I took out my G3 this morning and factory defaulted it, started setting it up, and about half-way through the restore decided it wasn't worth it and just dumped it and defaulted it and put it back in the box, and is again sitting on the shelf as a potential backup or test device device sitting next to my Lumia 640.
