If the Droid RAZR Maxx is anything to go by, idiotically terrible battery life on LTE phones might be a thing of the past. Laptop Mag ran battery tests on several LTE models and the Maxx crushed everything by a crazy margin.
The result was eight hours 25 minutes of continuous LTE surfing with 40 per cent brightness. That’s almost twice as long as the four hours 45 minutes of the first Droid RAZR, which itself was already a good bit ahead of the Galaxy Nexus.
Totally nuts, and worth the itty bit of extra bulk from the humongous 3300mAh battery. Pop over to Laptop to check out the rest of the details of the test. [Laptop Mag]

I have a GSG1 which is 14mm thick and I have no problem at all with fitting it in my pocket. The Razr Maxx is still thinner than that so IMO they would put an even bigger battery in it. I want 2 days decent use and I’m happy to have a thinker phone. This mine is thinner than yours pissing contest is just stupid now.
