Help before s3 purchase

[electric turd]

I am currently on an iPhone 4. I had a og droid before the iPhone, I have a few questions regarding the Samsung s3 or the razr maxx hd. I know the razr maxx hd could get me through a whole day on a charge. I have been looking through battery stats of the Samsung, can someone explain how long on average the s3 will go on a charge. I keep seeing on battery times of around 8-9 hours, is that just time of charge? If so that's barely enough to get through an average work day without charging. Can someone help me understand that?

It all depends on usage. If you don't get many calls or don't check messages, social media or browse much, then it will last longer. I estimate that if I constantly browse the internet, my SGS3 will last about 5 hours at most. I think that most people will be doing other things throughout the day.

that 8-9 hours battery life is the time when USING the device, not the standby time. Unless you use your phone at work playing games for 8hrs instead of doing your job, you shouldn't have any problem with battery life.

I personally am able to to play a gba emulator for 1.5hrs and only drop by 10%
