An iPhone lover’s confession: I switched to the Nexus 4

Battery life in Android land is a matter of choosing the right handset. I don't believe the iPhone holds a candle to my Note 2 or the RAZR Maxx if you actually use the phone heavily. Plus replaceable/extended batteries are another option.

The Note 2 is a tablet that also happens to make calls. Compare it to the iPad Mini. The Nexus 4's battery is not removable.

Can the iPad Mini make phone calls? Can it fit in my pocket? The Mini's surface is 23 in^2 larger.

Most people buy the Note 2 as a phone though. But the point is you can still choose - big hands, like big screen get a Note 2. Want something smaller - get Razr Maxx HD or S3 mini with extra battery. All I am saying is that battery life isn't an issue on Android any longer. Even with the smaller non-removable battery phones, with little tweaks you can get battery life very similar to what the iPhone 4/4S have offered (don't know about iPhone 5).

Comparing the iPhone to a Note 2 is probably unfair as those things are HUGE!

Exactly - it uses a much bigger power-drawing screen, too.

I guess any Android phone is now a days. The Razr is smaller of the two. But I think the point still stands due to replaceable batteries on phones like the S3 mini.

I'm sure it is variable by handset, but I had no interest in any android phone apart from the Nexus line.
