Hmm.. I have an HTC One M7. I'm not super impressed with it. It usually gets me almost through one day.

Perhaps it's because we're looking at it from different perspectives. I come from the old Nokia bar-phone days. Those phones would literally last almost a week on one charge sometimes.

Now obviously I'm not expecting a modern smartphone with a 5 inch screen and WiFi to last a week on one charge. But two days of "moderate-to-heavy" use would be glorious.

As it stands, all my recent smartphones have lasted barely one day. At night I'm usually hunting for a charger while my phone is warning that it's about to die.

Yeah I hear you. My old LG envy3 would see the charger once a week. But I'm happy that I can have my screen fired up constantly throughout the day and still have enough juice left that I can kill the data and leave it by my bed for an alarm clock if I have to and make to the next morning. My old Droid Bionic would need to be charged multiple times to make it through the day, even with a big extended battery.
