That's one heck of a batterytime and it matches my experience with the Mighty Note III

So PhoneArena did a blind Mobile Camera test last week, I forgot to post a link here, anyway, personally I voted for #5 which was SOO obviously the Lumia 1020 even before reveal, the real shocker was the phone many voted into 2nd, Phone #2, many thought it was a Xperia Z1, to be honest I thought #2 was the iPhone5S, shocker, #2 which came 2nd turned out to be a damn Galaxy S4
Lumia 1020 beats the iPhone 5s and Galaxy S4 by a mile in our blind camera comparison
PhoneArena
I'm quite shocked the GS4 despite being +5-6months old is still so capable next to the new beasts, it even had fanboys of other OEMs fooled

,got to love blind tests, I think GSMArena should bring them back and do a few with the latest smartphones and another for phablets.

It doesn't come as a surprise at all.
What would have been a surprise would have been if they included the 808 in there with it. Most people would probably rate the 808 worser than the rest because of its more natural colours.
Usually the iPhone tops the opinion polls due to its boosted saturation much like Samsung phones.

What got me in the comments there and in the Z1 thread is how people spoke about the great detail #2 got, wonder if they would've said the same if they knew what the models were.
I think the 808 would make up ground with its detail and low light performance, thats how Lumia 1020 won, I was gobsmacked by how far ahead the 1020 was, the 808 would've demolished, it would've been so unfair

Its all entertaining but to be honest as long as the camera produces the results the user is happy with, theres no point in comparing them. The only ones worth comparing are the ones which are focused solely on their cameras, of which the 1020 is.

I couldn't believe this pricing from O2 in their brochure. The GS4 @ £549 yet the completely differently lower specced GS4 mini next to it priced @ £499!!!!!!! This pricing is so wrong. You can get the better specced GS3 now for £280
