Not necessarily. Android OS and the screen are usually the largest battery consumers. (Followed by phone idle, if you chose a carrier that doesn't have a strong signal where you are.) About the only difference may be Samsung's AMOLED screen, if the other phone doesn't have one and you like light-colored wallpaper. AMOLED screens use more power displaying lighter colors. But aside from that, the amount of current used depends on a lot more - that's part of Android - and has very little to do with the manufacturer. (Of course a phone with a larger battery will last longer between charges. But, again, that has nothing to do with "stock Android".)
