Muthu, 04 Jan 2017All Samsung's batteries are crap????? I have a 5 years old ... moreDear I would love the truth. I only buy sami products knowing their batteries are bad. Note 1, 3, 4(changed twice) all had vad batteries. 2 10k mAmp powerpacks that lost their fast charge after 3 charges. I have S7 edge which slightly better. Nothing fancy.
I have a friend who has a great Note 4 battery. On the other gand a friend with S6 has a bad battery.changed and its only a little better.

Even GSMArena acknowladged that Sami isnt known for great batteries

              Wow This is really reassuring news for a follow up of the disastrous Note7.

This is why Samsung had a fairly good Q4 record this year, because of the components division. They usually make good profits on RAM and displays (their AMOLED displays are very popular, even on flagship killers like OnePlus)

I have a 5 years old Samsung Wave 3 phone as secondary mobile (just for calls). It's battery life is same as year 1 now. I am unable to believe how it is able to hold charge to the same level even after 5 years. You may not like this truth - Samsung does make quality products.

                        AnonD-625786, 04 Jan 2017Yeah, well, I'll be staying away from Samsung, probably for good.Its unfortunate for you that Samsung SDI is the largest supplier of batteries, and the largest supplier of a lot of components of smartphones too. So you're still going to be using Samsung, it'll just have a different brand.

                          Back to the crap! Samis batteries are bad regardless of the fire. Also It doesn't seem that LG had a great battery either i it's LG V20

                                    What are your thoughts about SD Card slots or infrared ports? How long does your phone take to charge? My note 4 and s7 edge take 2 hours but they have a 3220mah battery and a 3600mah battery.

They thought it was the batteries and they re-called them and put new batteries in from a different battery supplier and yet it still happened, so it wasn't their battery quality which was a problem it could be the fact when they designed the phone they never gave the battery enough space to expand during use/charge.

                                      If thats the case you may aswell tell Apple to change their battery suppliers too since Samsung SDI make them, but wait why would they if Samsung have rubbish battery quality?

                                        If they have the techonology using thier software to maximize the battery life, why not use LG batteries? Good battery life + safer battery. Win-win.
