I guess one of the major upgrades to android was a major update to how android runs on 5.0 and would greatly increase battery life.
So far I would say it's about a 10% increase on my gs5.I let the phone adapt for a few days and today I did a normal use test on the way I would normally use the phone.
No battery saving tweaks or power saving or even wifi was used today.just straight up regular use staying on lte the whole day.I took my phone off the charger around 8:30 this morning and it's now 10:30 at night and I have 8% left with over 6 hours of onscreen time.I think I will break 7 hours and that is what I get if I use wifi the whole day on 4.4.4 kit kat.
I also have a oem extended battery on my cell and would just barely get 6 hours on 4.4.4 staying off wifi but that was with last 15% using power saver and dimming the screen to basically nothing.
I will post battery stats when it gets to 1% for final on screen time but I'm sure it will break 7 hours.
In closing lollipop rocks and battery life is improved for me and the latest version of chrome that supports 5.0 is wicked fast...legit almost 2x faster then before.I got a 400 point reduction in sunspider going to 5.0 and updating chrome
