Samsung Galaxy Note5 battery life test

24 August, 2015
Samsung surely raised a few eyebrows by equipping the Galaxy Note5 with a smaller battery than its predecessor. The newcomer’s 3,000mAh unit is also non-removable, so we were quite curious to put it through the rigors of our battery test.

                Would be wary of quick charging since you can't easily replace the battery.

                    I have no idea what people are whining about. There are powerbanks , quick charging and wireless charging ( again of the fat variety) on tap.
                    If you had another 3200 mAH battery , you would have to charge that too , would rather charge a 15Ah Anker powerbank .
                    The rating of 85 hours puts it in the top 10% of smartphones with the best battery life . Also , battery life concerns didn't stop millions of iSheep from buying Apple iPhones.

                    I am sorry whiners , but Note 5's battery life is stellar .

                          ONLY five hours less than the Note 4. Lol Add that to the non removable battery fact and you know why this phone is actually a downgrade from its predecessor. Stupid Samsung.
