Okay, I need a real world comparison, S5 vs. Maxx

NOT THE RAZR MAXX, but the next gen Maxx.

I like the features that the S5 seems to offer. BUT I LOVE the idea of having a phone with a 3300 under the hood. So, after searching, and not finding a real world, easy to understand apples to apples and oranges to oranges battery comparison, I need some help.

Can someone please give me a link to a test that will compare these two phones? Every S5 comparison I have seen is against phones with smaller batteries. I have seen ONE with a Razr Maxx (which I currently use), but NOTHING with the new, larger Maxx... any help would be awesome.

I just switched from a razr maxx hd, and I definitely miss the battery life. Picked up my phone around noon with a 45% charge, and by 6 PM it was nearly dead.

Totally NOT what I wanted to hear... will you please let me know how it does after you charge it and run it a day or two? I seriously don't want to be looking for a place to charge my phone all of the time like the iheads I work with do...

Yep, I have a razr maxx that is two years old and I still get two days out of a battery unless I have some heavy usage. I am looking to upgrade to this or the m8 so I am hoping the battery life is just as good.

battery life on the s5 is good, but not comparable to a phone like the maxx with its huge battery, smaller screen, slower processor, etc. the only fair comparison would be to get an extended battery for the s5 when one becomes available. then you'd have an apples to apples comparison.
