To be fair, most Android devices and iPhone would achieve similar battery life if you're not actually using the phone.
Apple claims to get 10 days of standby out of an iPhone. I would imagine with 'barely any calls' or using the device you would get somewhere between 5 to 10 days. 5 days doesn't really sound that impressive.
I bought the bright orange ZTE Open C fxos phone to try it out.
Haven't done much more with it that travel around with it, mostly using it as a primary phone for calls. The battery life is insane on that one - I went about 4-5 days without charging it when I was traveling (barely any calls, mostly standby).
The good part was the HERE maps downloaded onto its SDCARD and I could use at least some of the GPS functionality when it is offline.
However for the same amount of money I could easily buy a Micromax or Karbonn phone which would have 2 killer apps to use - PayTM and Ola Cabs.
