It actually depends upon which content you are viewing the most.

If you are browsing mostly white Web pages it has marginally worse battery life than on the Tab Pro. However if you are watching movies/YouTube etc. with darker content the battery life is much better than on the Pro. And if you are reading books on a black background it is almost the same as if it's idle and you are not using it at all. (The battery lasts forever)

This is due to the fact that black pixels use no energy on Amoledscreens. So for my own use case the battery lasts for days and days. That is if my kids don't get a hand on it.

This sounds almost as if I am a representative for Samsung. I am most certainly not, I enjoy "best of breed" in all technologies. That said, I am a big fan of Amoledtechnology.
