G+_Marlon Thompson Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Quick thoughts on the Nexus 6 battery life I have been using the Nexus 6 for about 2 weeks now and in that time I have got to put it through its paces,. Now I have heard Jason Howell and Leo Laporte keep saying "ohh the battery life isn't as good as the one plus one" and while I don't doubt that it gives the impression that the Nexus 6 battery life is inadequate (how I feel when you say it Jason maybe its not your intention). My experience however has been that the Nexus 6 gets me easily through the day, and I am not just talking the workday, I am talking 24 hours and more of battery life. Now each persons usage pattern differs so I will quickly give my daily routine, I unplug my phone at around 5:15 am in the morning, and as I take my daily morning commute which may be between 1 to 1 and half hours I listen and watch a couple of podcasts in that time and sometimes mix it in with a local radio station using the Tune in app. I am on LTE all day and I pretty much check my phone once or twice during the morning to check G+ or post something quickly. Most of my notifications I handle through my gear live, so I am not poking at my phone all day long. I might play a quick time waster while I get lunch and usually around 2 ish I might put on some play music for a half an hour or so. by 4/4:30 I am heading home and I have had my battery life around 60% and higher at that time. And then on the way home I may also listen to another podcast or if its Wednesday I listen to TWIG on the way home via tune in or Twit pro. Two other things have made me stop worrying about battery life. The quick charge feature is really...well quick and to be honest if you are really worried 15 to 30 minutes on the charger is all you need. Last night I plugged in mine about 30 minutes before I went to bed and it was at 97% when I got into bed. The second thing is battery saver mode, It works really well, I have mine set to switch on when my battery reaches 15% and seriously that adds a few hours to your battery life. So thats it if you are a user like me, thats what battery life has been for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
