I don't think I'd say stellar either, incredible is a better word. Easily 2 full days of running it hard. Although I must say that using Android Wear with my Moto 360 has fubared my battery life though, I'd say it's cut in half now easily.
Got a tip for us?

My Note 4 has given incredible battery life, its 20:20 here, still got 67% battery, took it off charge at 7am this morning.
Cannot wait for the Note 5 to arrive, thinking of getting it, mainly for the Exynos CPU and Wolfson DAC, the bigger and denser 5.89inch UHD display won't hurt either
The Note 4 achieved great batt life with a 3220mAh battery while running a spectacular 5.7inch 2K display, so if the Note 5 comes with a UHD 5.89inch Display and 4100mAh battery it should be fine.

Are you on lollipop? How extensive is your usage?
I am now at 10-12 hours including 3h30/4h screen on time.
from 15 hours with 4h30/5h30 of screen on
Is that a lollipop effect for you as well?
I shall go for hard reset but fear it. It took me 6 months to have a phone perfectly working on 4.4.4 with features and syncs I need and this stupid update messed it up
I was getting average battery life even before 5.0
This is all on 3G/H+ though. If I stayed mainly wifi then chances are it's much better.
I just wiped cache partition.
Will let you know in case it improves my battery life
It's weird as currently on wifi only I'm on
57% left
2 hours, 50 mins screen on time
9 hours, 20 mins total
Just when on H+ when my battery drains bad
More info on the Note 5. Interesting stuff about a version without the SPen. That version is being referred to Project Zero 2. So basically a bigger Galaxy S.

I hope Samsung aren't phasing out the stylus, hopefully the non stylus one won't sell more than the stylus Note 5. If it wasn't for the stylus I'd be long gone and using another phone.
No way is Samsung phasing out the s pen! Without it, the Notes would not be even close to where they are now. As you, and many of us here know, it's not just a stylus. The software is unmatched (I'm not just specifically talking about touchwiz).
Bigger and cheaper phones are aplenty. Without the s pen, they're just one of many.
Also, like you, a phone without their s pen would make me long gone.
LG is releasing a stylus equipped G4, but I have no idea whatsoever if that has a digitizer or who makes it, or if it's just a dumb stylus.
LTE/3G
But I'm now changed it to 3G only..maybe it's just always looking for 4G coverage?
Yea, that's why I asked. I experienced bad data service and battery life before due to the network selection checked wrongly.
But they aren't improving screens. Latency, response times, lag is still the same. All they're doing is upping the resolution, which probably is the easiest thing they can do and using that as a selling point.
With such a high resolution, the performance will either stay the same, or be worse. Also what about all those applicstiond, imahes, etc... They'll all look pixelated. Battery will definitely go down.
