I was reading about the battery life and their ultra power saving mode. My GS4 has excellent battery life I bought a back up battery and I've never had to do a hot swap. If the GS5 is better that's just damn cool.
I have the power saving mode on my Galaxy Note 3. It doesn't really kick in till you get to around 10%. It does cut the power of the processor and will turn off many features in order to reduce power consumption. It is also configurable to some degree, so if you need bluetooth or wifi you can tell it not to turn those features off.
The thing is the battery life on my Note 3 is so darn good I've never ever gotten to 10% battery life. LOL I'll put it to you this way. I don't use my phone very much over the weekend except for checking mail occasionally, a few text and maybe some youtube. I use it a lot more during the work day week. I get home with 70% or better at times. When this happens on the weekend, I go thru Saturday and don't charge again until Sunday night to get ready for work on Monday. So, I've gone from 7 AM on Friday till around 10 PM on Sunday night and even then I am still not at 10%. You guys know I like me some Apple, but Apple can kiss my butt when it comes to the crappy battery life on the iPhone.
Agreed about the iPhone5. But even at 10% I would not want this mode on my iPhone. I would assume it can be turned off entirely?
