The volume controls used to be better; they didn't try guessing which volume you wanted to change by context. They've changed things for the worse since then.

My battery's pretty small (2150 mAh), and I've spent about half an hour today playing games. Pulled the phone off the charger at about 8:30, and it's 16:00 now. Power's at 81%. The iPhone 6 would be a little higher, granted.

I wish Android were better, but out of the available options, it suits my needs the closest.

What kind of mobile network do you use? LTE or 3G? What signal strength do you have where you spend most of your day?

Where I work has terrible LTE (and previously terrible HSPA) and every phone I've had has noticeably worse battery drain while I'm at my desk.

Reasonable, but not great, LTE.
