Easy, the Lumia 720.
I didn't say there were Windows Phones were better than the One or S4, though, just better than the 920. The Lumia 720 is about the same as the One in browsing battery life.
See, you literally know nothing about phone battery life. The One and S4 absolutely destroy the 920 -- and every other Windows phone -- on every count (except the One's deficiency in idle drain, but it still comes ahead overall), and in fact are better in real-world conditions than any phone besides the mega-battery Note 2 and MAXX (i5 may be about level, but it gets killed by bad reception in a way the bigger flagships don't).
Why do you keep posting GSMArena benches?
They aren't the only one. And I would like to know their methodology and settings because clearly it's easy to put a phone on the lowest possible brightness and close all background tasks, enable battery saver, etc which might give you the best possible battery life but maybe not the one closest to reality. Here, let me quote another site's results:
GSMArena's results looks very optimistic compared to other sites tests which, if I wanted to spend further time (I don't) I could post here. Again, do you know what their methodology is? I would hope and expect a site to be biased more on the side of heavy, almost torturous usage, rather than very light usage to be more reflective of worst-case scenarios when it comes to battery tests.
You keep making this about the 920 vs the Android phones which, again, is not the point I'm making. Seriously. Why you are getting so defensive about the Android platform - and it's clear you are from your mocking tone - is beyond me. I almost "literally" have no clue why you keep bringing up the comparison, go back and read what I posted. I never claimed that Windows Phones have better battery life than Android phones. In any case, I don't even know how GSMArena tests both platforms so as far as I am concerned it's an apples to oranges comparison.
More importantly, ~8 hours continuous use is an awesome standard that in no way corresponds to an 8 hour day, unless your job is to sit there and play with your phone all day. It means it absolutely will get you through a full day and will quite possibly get you through the second as well. That I have to explain this to you is amazingly bad for your credibility. Just stop before you dig deeper.
EDITED to be slightly nicer
Do you have the One or S4? How long do you get on your phone? Do you have to enable battery saver or turn down the brightness to get 12 hours? Because that is how long *minimum* I would expect a phone with purportedly
good battery life to last. Even if I work an 8 hour shift, with commute time, lunch break, etc I want a phone that lasts 12 hours with moderate to heavy usage. I have the One. That quoted GSMArena time is above what I get by 2 to 3 hours. Fully charged, It will NOT last me a full 12 hour day with moderate to heavy use, with GPS off, and brightness on medium-high. Furthermore, with 1080p video playing it doesn't last 6 hours and with video taking it lasts 6 to 7 hours. This is from own personal use.
Maybe I'm an outlier, but I don't appreciate someone questioning my credibility when I'm stating the truth from my own experience.
Sure, it's anecdotal, and your mileage may vary, but to me it's better than some test from a single site which you haven't provided the testing methodology or environment for as of yet.
In any case, I'm done arguing and repeating myself, it ceases to be productive after a certain point. I like both Windows Phones and Android phones, I'm just saying very few phones really last a day if actually used anywhere near their full potential. If you are going to put 1080p, 4G, bluetooth, and quad core processors in a phone, and actually use those features, you aren't going to get good battery life out of ANY current phone without adding a massive battery. That's just a fact. My point was and is that adding 1080p to a phone isn't necessarily the best thing if the base model already doesn't have good battery life. You haven't done anything to disprove that, you just went off on a tangent or wild goose chase that I entertained for some reason... maybe just pure annoyance, I don't know.
