I hope so.

But, with faster processor and a little bigger screen, will that suck up the improvement.

As long as it gets me through the day to bed time, I don't really mind. However, I DON'T want it to be close. Between 25-50% would be OK.

Some days, I talk too much on the phone and I have to charge. I ended up (a couple devices ago) having a desktop charger for a spare battery, then I swap batteries. Nice because I get the rrefresh that goes with the battery pull, but still a pain.
