FINALLY!!!

Thanks for sharing this, I've been checking his site every day but I'd almost given up.

I love his reviews, they go so much further than the usual 'hey it's thinner lighter and mega cool' reviews from Engadget and the like.
 
That graphic doesn't make any sense. I'm sorry but no way in hell did they get 8 hours LTE browsing. Yeah I'm calling them out on that one.

I'm with you on that. There is no way in hell they got almost TWICE as much battery life on LTE as they did on 3G, unless Apple has found a way to alter the properties of electricity and is using some sort of magical power source.

I call BS as well. :rolleyes:

It's true. :eek:

The non-LTE phones see a sharp drop in battery life. At least at 28nm the slower air interfaces simply have to remain active (and drawing power) for longer, which results in measurably worse battery life. Again, the thing to be careful of here is there's usually a correlation between network speed and how aggressive you use the device. With a workload that scaled with network speed you might see closer numbers between 3G and 4G LTE.

Only way is maybe they loaded a big page and took 15 minutes to read it then did that again for 8 hours and read 32 long articles. "Browsing" so open to interpretation.

Yeah I think some site(sorry no link) did the netflix test on LTE and they got 5.5-6 hours which sounds much more realistic. prob low screen brightness

Well of course you're going to get shorter battery life while streaming videos compared to regular web browsing.
 
The guy is clearly talking out his *ss.
Just kidding. Wow, just wow at his depth of analysis, and decent writing style.
Took me 2 hours, and I skipped most of it.
Learned a lot along the way.
 
Looks a bit dodgy to me... Doesnt seem to add up

Where does this guys loyaltys belong?

Is he sponsored?
 
I'd love to have his iPhone 5 that gets 8 hours on LTE, I'm lucky to get 5 even after a replacement from Apple...

He is one of the premier reviewers in tech. Very well respected...surprised you havent heard of him :eek:
 
Looks like the iPhone 5 and the Samsung GS3 are the heavy hitters in the mobile industry right now specs-wise.

Huh? I can get that no trouble. See below - this is actually a bit worse than typical, just what I happen to be at right now.

bunch of morons in this thread...did you guys ever thought maybe he's close to a LTE tower?

point proven...being close to a tower helps.

Agreed, Anandtech is one of the most unbiased sites I've ever come across. Their testing methodology is very comprehensive, and when results seem out of the norm, they put a good deal of effort in the determining why they achieved the results they did. They recently started a weekly tech podcast which I highly recommend.

Interesting that none of the posters calling BS claimed to have actually read the review.
 
(I'd also just like to note that in the process of this review, I took a jeweler's screwdriver to the back of my previously pristine iPhone 5. I love you guys, don't ever forget it.)

Loved this line. I'm not that dedicated to a review.

This, i have gotten 4 hours of good LTE usage yesterday with 40% left or so its not completly off the mark.
