Spoiler alert: it'll be more than half.

The screen-on-time of an idling-but-awake Sage w/ the frontlight at ~15% is more like ~5 to 6H, IIRC.

(Basically, dig up the early reviews that reported similar numbers: they were right. Or take the few reviews that tested the time in the Notepad app and add a couple hours to it (because IIRC, it inhibits standby, in addition to the fact that it's spinning up 3 to 4 cores and that actual pen input also happens to peg 1 core at 100% until contact lift, because ahahaha sunxi)).

(I don't recall the exact number, but I do recall laughing maniacally when I realized it was quite possibly *less* than my average-on-that-front Android phone (which stands at ~6 to 7H)).
