I say anectodally because I've heard both good and bad about every phone out there. A friend at work with an iPhone 4s can't get through a full day without also charging his phone at work. Then I hear about the 5 having similar battery life to the 4s. Same for the Galaxy S3, I've heard both praises and horror stories. A lot of it depends on the network you're on too. Anand does good objective tests and the Razr and the iPhone blow everyone away in those but again they do not take real life use into consideration. I also have an old Nokia phone that I could play snake on for days on end but now I have slightly higher demands out of my phone. My comparison was limited to the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 4 (all other things being equal including the carrier) and saying that the OPs battery claims are false in my opinion. I just came back home at noon with 12% of battery life after having taken my phone off the charger yesterday at 6:30am. But I only had the screen on for an hour and 40 minutes... that doesn't mean I have 1:45 hours of battery life. But thanks for adding your experiences to the mix. What is usage time by the way? Is that like screen time?
