Does anyone know why it is that the Nexus 7 has so much more battery life than the iPad 4? Is it a matter of offering less and having it easier to not waste CPU cycles or just that it's well engineered? Genuine question, I don't own either of the two devices, just wondering.



Different wifi chipset? Different browser? If you look at the video playback and GL battery tests, the nexus 7 goes from worse to much worse. http://www.anandtech.com/show/7460/apple-ipad-air-review/8


Screen size might have something to do with it. Just a guess.
