You should honestly be getting, at least, a day or day and a half with
active use. One thing I can tell you from experience and from speaking to
several sighted users is one should really clear the app switcher every few
days. Yes, by themselves, apps do not use a lot of resources running in
background, but if you have a bunch there, it starts to add up. Also, reboot
the phone every couple of days if you don't entirely shutdown. My brother is
on the phone often and uses it for a variety of reasons for his work on a daily
basis and gets a good 10 to 12 hours on average from his battery.
