Hello!
After many years of using sub 5" smartphones, I've finally crossed into the "phablet" (I will never be able to take this word seriously) territory.
The LG G Pro is an excellent phone, but the battery is rather short (4.5 hrs. screen time). I'm well versed in battery conservation and care; my screen is dim, auto sync and gps are off, quadcore manager is on, etc.
Comparing the battery diagnostics of the LG G Pro and the Moto X led to a potential problem: the goddamn (beautiful) screen.
The G Pro at 30% brightness is responsible for 65% of my battery drain.
The Moto X at 40% is responsible for 42% of its battery drain.
Is this normal battery usage for a large smartphone? I know a big screen requires more power; I've just never seen a dim screen use up so much battery before.
