theorically, Big little tech would save more batt but i will reserve my judgement until more concrete reviews
i scared it will end up like tegra 3 power usage, where not in use it can save juice, but when running in full, it zaps batt to no end
and i dun believe this phone will be long term though i told my wife the same thing
i agreed that mobile phone is reaching a stagnant stage ...
i have the same opinion as yours. octa core, having 4 arm15 and 4 arm7... when running full power, it'll run on arm15, which performance top notch and power hungry. when idle or running small apps, will run on arm7.
so, conclusion, if you always playing games which require arm15 running most of the time, i can say your battery won't last long
if for light user, then yes, your battery may last longer than other phone
