Oneplus One and LG G2 are perfect examples of excellent performance a battery life. 1440p with 808 is a joke, 810 overheats and finally 820 is fine, but battery-wise I'm really not impressed.

The 820 though has redeemed Qualcomm.

I would actually say that the 805 was better than last years 810, and was Qualcomm's best overall until the 820 came along.

My SONY Z5 Premium Dual was having an SD810 and never heat-up like what people are led to believe and always complaining about it overheating, but they have never tried it. It gets warm, Yes! Overheats, NO! I am using it for the last three months and speaking through experience...
