I've been trying to find information on actual battery life in practice – the promise of e-ink is stonking long battery life - and it looks like it gets 8-12 hours of "active use" battery life, unfortunately. [1]

Unfortunately LTE is an absolute power pig.

It's so bloated that the modems have an entire CPU, running Linux, just to manage all the junk. This is in addition to the baseband DSP.

My Nova 2's battery life is also quite bad. Android takes its toll.
