This is pretty awful if true. I've been through a fair number of mid-priced android phones (I'm more of a buy what's good enough and replace every couple of years for fun guy than a flagship phone guy), and I don't recall /any/ of them lasting for less than ~24 hrs on mostly standby/light usage. Obviously battery life drops a fair bit if you play a bunch of games or stream video or whatever though.

Is that really that surprising? Android is heavily modified OS, with plenty of engineer hours poured into it, hell, even the kernel is patched to better fit its niche.

My surpise isn't directed at Android, it's at Purism for releasing a product with such poor battery life.
