Weekly poll: Battery life - how much do you need?

09 July, 2016
This week, we decided to tackle the age-old question of battery life yet again. And, yes, we know that the only right answer would really be infinity and then like an hour extra, just to be safe. But, sadly, that isn't feasible any time soon (damn, foiled by physics yet again...), so we have to take a more level-headed approach to the matter and considering the 2016 state of the mobile realm, now might actually be a perfect time.

I want a phone which can handle all tasks with at least 12 hours screen on time, which is rare, especially among flagships.

    If a phone can last me one full day of heavy gaming like Modern Combat, its good enough (half brightness). But even flagships cant do this properly.

            My current phone "Galaxy S7 Edge" rated 98 hours on GSMArena is the landmark. From now on I'm gonna be extremely reluctant to settle with anything less then 95+ hours in any future GSMArena review.
