And that Note 4's QHD Amoled at 5.7 inches uses 40% less power compared to 5inch 1080p LCD.
And the S6 will be more efficient in display than all three of them.
And S6 will have more efficient SoC, Radio chip, Memory, UI, and so forth. Will faster charging.

    You forget to mention that if S6 will have a 1440 x 2560 resolution, the battery will be drained much quicker than s5.

            dear stupid phone maker....

            we consumers need a reliable phone that can be fully utilize its all function

            a battery life that could support wifi....3g....4g.....gps.....games.....and other functions throughout the day.....not just only for a couple of hours but at least a day!.....

            smartphone nowadays need to turn off many features just to maintain battery life? .....not fully utilize the capabilities of the phone.....

            try on all function. ....bet only last 3 to 4 hours only.....watta crap pieces of junk

              Seeing as GSM just did an updated review on battery life of S5, G3, M8, and Nexus 5 on lollipop things are looking good for S6 even if it has the weak battery...Though I still hope not.

              The S5 gained 11 hours endurance and has 83hour rating. Oddly the others plummeted.
              So with a more efficient display, memory, SoC, and UI the S6 should post better scores even with this.

              The problem is how much better and why not make the device 0.2mm thicker to use at least 3000mah and get great results?

Ultra Power Saving Mode is for when you battery gets very or critically low and you still need it to last. Of course you can use it prior as well. And it lives up to it's name of multiplying your remaining battery life.

                    What all these stupid CEOs fail to realize is that I-zombies own an iphone and aren't planning on replacing it anytime soon. The reast want a good TECH device, not a peace of jewelry. If we wanted an iphone, we would buy an iphone

Not to mention it's with a 3000+ mah battery and it's still not enough for a day of whatever usage. So batteries STILL need improvement. And power efficient displays or cpus mean nothing, radio-modules still drain too much power

                          Well it can be assumed that on the unlikely even this is true that the S6 will be super thin and last at least as long as the S5 minimum. And most likely a little longer. Plus it will have the latest quick charge along with ultra power saving mode.

                          However even if you can get better results out of a smaller battery you should still increase battery to some degree. We want strides in battery not minute gains.
