The Droid Razr on 4G LTE lasts LONGER than iPhone4S on 3G..... Sounds like 4G LTE sucks. It's just a phone Syl. You want it to work all day.

"Its 1780 mAh battery provides 12.5 hours of voice performance, and 8.9 hours of video. The iPhone 4S battery, according to Apple, provides up to 8 hours of voice communications on 3G, up to six hours of Internet use and up to 10 hours of video playback." Now you've stepped into the weeds. That 12.5 hours is on Verizon's CDMA voice link, a very low power link that does work quite well. That is not the battery life for running on the LTE data network. I suspect Samsung and Verizon really don't want it known how much shorter the battery life is when the phone is moving a lot of data over the cellular network. So battery life could be shortened quite a bit if you actually use the data network.
