Something better out there?

[phoneporn]

I just got an S5 from Sprint. It does everything I need it to very well, but one thing.. The battery. The battery life is absolutely garbage. Its bad.

I bought a cheap "Extended Battery" and now I get about 5 hours on screen time vs the 3.5 on the Sammy battery.

Are there ANY Android phones on the market not running any trashy skins, or UI's, and that run stock Android that good battery life?

Welcome to the forums at Android Central!

The nexus phones are pure Android, and the newest additions are supposedly very good phones.
I'll say they are definitely the best nexus phones so far.

3.5h SOT isn't so bad if your brightness is high.

Hello and welcome to the forums!

Yeah, as Stargate said the new Nexus seem pretty good. Motorola also makes almost stock phones with good battery life. They will be presenting a new phone this week but I think in the States it will be only available through Verizon.
