Battery life

cloudsup · Jan 12, 2015

I'm curious as to what kind of battery life the Note 4 has. I just bought an iPhone 6 Plus but I'm not too wild about it. I'm thinking about returning it and getting the Note 4 instead but as much as I dislike iOS, the battery life on this thing is GREAT.
I text regularly and check Facebook/Tumblr throughout the day while I'm at work. Not terribly heavy use, but then again I'm at work. On my LG G2 I would be at about 55-60% at the end of the day if I charged the night before. With the iPhone I'm only at 75-80% at the end of the day. I'd like to know what the Note 4 is like before I take the plunge. Anyone care to share their battery usage?

I went from an iPhone 6 to the galaxy note 4 and feel like my battery life is so much better with the note. I use my phone a lot and I don't feel like I am constantly connected to a charger. I was not expecting such good battery life. Also, the switch back to android after years of iPhone use has been great.

Was yours iPhone 6 or 6+? I don't think note 4 would be that much better than 6+, which OP is asking about. Probably similar or a little worse but much better than regular iPhone 6.

6, not 6 plus. The 6 battery was good. However, the note battery is a lot better and this has pleasantly surprised me.

And it's removable...so if you really need a fresh battery, you can swap one in.

Yet another reason why I returned to android!

Totally agree about the Note 4 battery life, it's impressed far more than even the screen or S-Pen.

Charged the phone about 3PM on Friday and it survived without charging (and normal use, listening to music) til Sat night. Easily the best battery life I've used on a Smart phone

Battery life on my Note 4 is MUCH better than it was on my Galaxy 4, about the same as son's iPhone 6+.

So far I'm charging my note 4 every other day. Medium-heavy(ish) usage. According to sprint on Data usage.
