> battery drained in ~6 hours

So, parity with Android then? (I kid, I kid....kinda.)

My Galaxy Note 2 still has a battery life of about a week, still running on the original battery. I just need to remember to enable Wifi only on when needed, or it'll drain the battery in two days.

Actually in my experience, leaving Wifi on saves the battery, compared to telco network. Wifi seems to be more power-efficient than 3G or LTE.

Of course, if you want a week on the battery, you must have data off, both wifi and mobile.
