He'll be crawling back to iOS when he sees the standby time of Android eat massive chunks of battery. From the mobile radio active bug to the play store deciding it needs to be active for some unknown reason.
Don't get me wrong, I love android, I love it more than iOS, but damn does it eat battery for no reason. I only switched sides because I couldn't take it any more. Sure iOS devices have started a downward trend of capacity, but at least when I go to bed at night with 80% I wake up in the morning with 79-78% instead of 65% at best.
- hobbyjogger 11y agoMight be worth giving it another shot. Doze in Android Marshmallow drastically improved my standby battery life[0]. Doze handles wake locks much like iOS--not quite as well but it's night and day from my previous Android phones. Here's more detail on how it works[1].

- post_break 11y agoI've been following Doze closely, there are still a bunch of quirks where Doze either doesn't force hibernate or other apps just keep polling. Also it helps that you had full bars the whole time. Low signal murders battery.
- petra 11y agoI heard xiaomi , in their newer OS versions have a very good standby management so it's very power efficient.That ,plus the new redmi 3 with a large battery in a thin device gives phenomenal battery life.
