| Which phone have better battery life
Which phone would have better battery life S4 of Nexus5?
S4 have a 2600mAh battery while Nexus 5 is only 2300mAh but a lot of people are saying after the s4 update to 4.4 the battery drain is massive. With the S4 I just drain about 20% in 2 hours with about 30mins text message and 30misn of music.
Not sure about Nexus 5 yet. Still testing but it seems the Nexus 5 is holding a little better once you have all the settings setup and certain options disable.

Depends on your usage/phone settings.
The longer you have your phone screen on = the more the battery drains
The higher the brightness = the more the battery drains
etc
If your battery is draining fast from music usage, use an iPod instead?

My N5 isn't really affected by music playing; I use it instead of my iPod and walk just about everywhere I go. I still get about 16 hours before I plug it in with about 5-6 hours of music, low screen brightness, and LTE always on with most social media on push notifications.

I'm running paranoid andriod with stock kernal, I'm a heavy user (4 hour screen time) and I'll still have about 15 percent at 11pm (stop charging at 545am)

Seems a bit better by having Jude defender on and basically disable a lot of apps from accessing the Interent while screen is off and also have clean master to force close a bunch of apps when screen is off.
It still seems the N5 battery life is a bit better.
It also seems that some programs seem to crash on the S4.

The S4 also has to run a heavily themed and customized interface so it's definitely plausible that the Nexus 5 has better battery life.

the best battery life phone is one with a removable battery.  I will never buy another phone with a sealed battery. 60 sec and full charge VS sitting chained to a charger for a min of 10 min then wondering how much use i can get out of it.

You should add the LG G2 to your list of options if you're looking for good battery life.
