limpid Posted April 10, 2015 Administrator Share Posted April 10, 2015 I think most smartphones last about a day. The only manufacturer pushing this seem to be Sony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 10, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted April 10, 2015 I wouldn't use it as my main phone for love nor money, but the iPhone 5C kicks the arse of any smartphone I've owned in terms of battery. When my Nexus 5 broke last week I had to use my 5C for a few days. So it was my main phone. probably didn't use it quite as much as I would my nexus, but more or less normal usage. I got more than 2 days out of a full charge. I was quietly impressed. Like I said, not enough to sway me away from Android, but I was quite surprised by it.

The_Rev Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I think most smartphones last about a day. The only manufacturer pushing this seem to be Sony. Apple too. I can get two days out of my six plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get two days out of my six plus. I think that's the norm for large devices though. They just have a huge battery in them. My Xoom lasts 5+ days.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Must admit - I love the device itself but the battery on my G3 is shit. I've had it a year now and looking to change. A strong battery is a must but don't like the screen on the Sony devices. Thoughts? What is due up soon? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted April 10, 2015 Administrator Share Posted April 10, 2015 I've not really had battery issues with my G3. I guess it depends how you use it. The G4 and the Z4 are up soon as well as the S6 and the M9. I guess you'll have to wait for the reviews (or work out what's killing your battery).

darrenm Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The nexus 5 seems to be pretty amazing on battery since 5.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Finally got off the pot, ordered a Moto G 2nd Generation 5" 4G for £119 which is a bargain. Will look now for a decent sim only deal (probably giff gaff via VT ;D) Edited April 10, 2015 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I really wish they would make a step up from the Moto g but below the X. The new moto e 4g is actually faster. If it had flash there would be no point in the G. If they took the new moto g, improved the camera slightly, bumped up the processor & ram etc.. then that would be great. The only thing stopping me from getting the new motto g is the fact that the Moto e 4g is faster. Doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 How much faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) It's only negligible but the E has a 410 snapdragon and the G has 400, the E also has a 64bit processor and has a slightly better graphics chip. But the G has a better front camera, better camera and led flash, better screen, it's thinner, more internal storage but only has the same ram and the same battery. Pros & cos with both tbh which you would expect at the price. Edited April 10, 2015 by Ingram85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 If they melded the two together than that would be a great low price mid ranger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted April 11, 2015 Administrator Share Posted April 11, 2015 Anyone played with an Xperia E4 yet? Ideally someone who can compare it to a Moto G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Got the Moto G in my hand just setting it up now. First impressions are very good, its lightning quick and even though it has 5.0.2 out of the box it has the gallery app which is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenm Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Nexus 5 v2 I'm listening... It's at the smoke part at the moment. There's a bit too much of it to be nothing in it. Rumours of Google getting samples from lg to make the next nexus in the same way as Asus did a nexus 7 refresh. It would line up with the standard November / December release timings as well.

Ingram85 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Picked up a moto e 2nd gen today. What a cheerful little phone. Not a powerhouse by any means but does the job well for a budget price. Loving lollipop. It's very nippy on the moto e. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 25 hours with moderate to heavy usage from its first full charge after getting it on Tuesday. This bodes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
