I'm surprised that I haven't seen this - but what are all your usages like? And how are you achieving this?

Currently 4% battery
8hr 39mins usage
14hrs 42mins standby

Data is always on 3G instead of LTE

Currently 57%
6hrs 41mins usage
13hrs 10mins standby

Mainly texting and some web browsing, nothing really as heavy usage, but regardless, 2-3X better than my iPhone 5, without a doubt.

I have noticed that I tend to get better battery life with LTE on over 3G though. Maybe its because my LTE signal is stronger than my 3G and is using less power to search for a stronger signal.
 
iPhone 5:

Currently 4%, haven't plugged in at all since last full charge

Usage: 4 hours, 30 minutes
Standby: 12 hours, 56 minutes

Web browsing and texting today, almost all wifi other than maybe half an hour. LTE otherwise.
 
The numbers will vary for different people in different locations under different usage and at different times (even for those same people). Hard to make comparisons really, aside from perhaps some extremes.
