6 hours of battery life for 15 minutes of charging? Wow.

This seems like a misleading claim, based on their "24-hour battery life" claim, which is in fact 24 hours of cellular talk time, with Wi-Fi off. From http://www.google.com/nexus/6/ http://www.google.com/nexus/6/ Testing was conducted by Google using pre-production Nexus 6 devices and software. Talk time tests used default settings with Wi-Fi off and LTE on. Standby time tests used default settings with LTE on and Wi-Fi on. Wi-Fi internet tests had Airplane Mode on with Wi-Fi connected to a test access point, while loading three popular websites cached on a local server. The Nexus 6 loaded a page, waited 40 seconds, and then loaded a page from the next site. LTE internet tests had Wi-Fi off and LTE on, and used the same testing method as the Wi-Fi internet tests. Edit: If you're going to downvote, please explain why.

  Charging is always fastest with airplane mode on, perhaps that's how they reached these numbers.

  I'm tried of companies doing this, they're all guilty of it. At least be honest about. 1 week battery life!* *In airplane mode, no apps running and the screen was only turned on once a day

    >> "they're all guilty of it" The one company that seems to be honest about battery life is Apple imo. I find that when you use any of their devices the battery life works out to be about what they said.

They're referring to that turbo charger (or whatever the name is) that can give you 6 hours worth of your battery charged in 15 minutes. The real battery life is reported as 24 hours, so it's saying that you can get your battery from 1% to 26% in fifteen minutes.

  That doesn't seem very impressive - a 12W charger can do that for any of my smaller devices regardless of OS.

Both battery claims come with interesting footnote: Mixed use battery life claims are approximate and based on an average user profile developed and tested by Motorola that includes both usage and standby [1] It means that there is a chance that your phone will be alive for 6 hours after just 15 minutes of charging (Battery must be substantially depleted [1]), if your usage/standby pattern is same as Motorola's.
