Wow...reviews have been all over the ballpark in regards to battery life. They are anywhere from "subpar" to "more than adequate" to "surprisingly good".

The Wall Street Journal reviewer said he used it for web browsing, email, etc all day and had 25% battery left at midnight. Another reviewer said web browsing lasted about 4.75 hours. Most reviews have said it goes about a full day without needing to charge.

I'm not sure what to think...

I heard the same about the 920. I find it hard to believe any phone getting a full days charge under heavy use, which I'm sure they are. Also, there are so many variables. Signal strength, ECT... The snapdragon is a pretty efficient processor so I'm sure these phones will be fine.

I'm in the EXACT same place! I'm really worried about the battery life on the 8X (Verizon). I just want it to last me a full day with heavy usage until midnight, will that happen? :dry

I'm assuming 4G LTE will have an impact on battery life, BUT Qualcomm claims that with their new S4 processor, LTE doesn't affect battery life. Hmm... :dry

Looks like the lte version might be pretty crappy lol, I have a Vzw gs3 and keep lte turned off and barely make it through a work day a lot of times

I saw that chart earlier today and pretty much disregarded it...nothing adds up. The iPhone 5 on 3G gets around 4.3 hours...yet on LTE it nearly doubles to 8.1 hours? Huh?

BTW, I currently have an iPhone 4 on Verizon...the chart puts it's battery time near the bottom (3.68 hours). I do a TON of web browsing, email, text, talk, FB, etc...it will certainly go well beyond 3.68 hours before needing to charge.
