The engadget review (http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/02/nexus-4-review/) complains of very bad battery life. TheVerge (http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/2/3589280/google-nexus-4-rev...) indicates it is ok. I wonder which is actually true?


It's worse than this: the state of battery life reporting is abominable. TheVerge says "Battery life was also top notch", with anecdots of 10h lifetime, while Engadget (and Anandtech[1]) say it's at the bottom of the barrel.

At least I'm pretty sure Anandtech controls for screen brightness in nits ["50%" doesn't cut it, just think about how easy that is to game]. Can't anyone do it right?
