New 4G LTE Android phones actually getting decent battery life

Nilay Patel, reviewing the new Motorola Droid Razr Maxx for The Verge:

In general use, I found that the Maxx would run for about a day and a half to two days without a charge if I used it normally. It also stood up to far more intense use: I spent about two hours tethered to LTE data on a trip to DC from New York, used the phone during the day, and tethered for another two hours on the way back, and still had about a quarter of a charge left.

I think it’s safe to say we’ll see the first LTE iPhones this year.

    It has a battery that takes up twice the volume as the battery in the iPhone 4s. None of the LTE problems have been solved by this phone.

    That said, the next iPhone WILL have LTE because Apple will obviously be the first in line for LTE chips built on a 28nm process.
