I see a lot of complains about battery life after android 6 update! Is that true? As the battery life is important for me before buying any new device, i don't use power banks or holding charger everywhere i go.......the battery of note 5 got 85 endurance rate while S7 edge got 98! :O

AnonD-77443, 15 Mar 2016Yes, and there are mid range phones with 6000 mAh batteries... moreWhat I am saying is why aim for 4000mAh only?
It is a flagship phone, it should have more than what a midrange phone have.

AnonD-77443, 15 Mar 2016Yes, and there are mid range phones with 6000 mAh batteries... moreScientifically calculating from my usage (with Excel with recorded numbers), I would need 4300mAh. 5.6hrs of SOT, 15 hours usage stretch. If the Note 6 can have 4000mAh, with more efficient power management, I'll be happy for 8 to 12 months before the sealed battery would start lowering noticable lower power holds.
I would guess Samsung should always base their battery capacities and power management capabilities with those with the highest demands on LTE. It should be a gold standard for any manufacturers to consider.

My comment to someone else was about what battery we could expect in the GN6.... i'm guessing it will be 3500-3800 but more would be nice

That is 50% less even with two batteries. Very disappointing Note 3.

Around 300 paged ebooks equals approximately 1GB IF you had around 3300 of them. Even with pictures in them, I don't think so.

It's a mobile modern tool we can all use, less more of an ornament for status. I even use it for sketching design ideas, and mirrored drawing demonstration and slide presentations to my students - this is what we need in classrooms now. A copy of my library of 1000+ ebooks (60+ GB) is on my microSD. I was carrying a portable 80GB HDD over a decade ago for files, now basically we can accomodate that size on our smartphones for instant access.

To be honest, I got tired of sitting at a desk or in front of a laptop most of the day. Phones are the ultra mobile way to do computing with freedom. Those who think they are just for social apps, calls, texts, videos, pictures, etc.. are living in the past. You don't need an octa-core CPU with 4GB RAM to do that stuff.

Weather we like it or not phones are being used more and more and it wont change. Hopefully the GN6 gets a substantial battery bump to become the ultimate phone again. :-)

Also going back to college to learn a new skill to include in the business and I do quite a bit of that on the phone also.
The rest is calls to family, friends, apps, Web browsing, videos, photos - I don't game on the phone as I do that on the powerhouse desktop.
I sleep normally, get up early to do yoga then hit the Bowflex at noon. Spend plenty of time with the fiancé when she's around but she's ultra busy herselfnow plus were going through a complete house renovation.
Typical day that gets it all done with sleep. But, the phone is a major companion if you can't tell, so when I have to restart because the screen sticks in horizontal (not just in 3rd party apps but also TouchWiz), it's annoying and of course I'm going to complain. Am I complanning about SD cards or removable battery? No
