Tcool, 08 Jan 2016As I said, bitter people will always disagree, I know that!... moreFast wireless charging gives you a full charge in "under 120 minutes". That's what Samsung is advertising. That's 2 hours.

It's even better to use Fast wired charging that takes "under 90 minutes", but also puts stress to that sealed battery. I regain full charge by swapping batteries in under 90 SECONDS, with boot time included.

Fast charging/fast wireless charging? Well, I practice Zero charging by swapping batteries. Zero charging is sure a lot faster. Samsung should bring back user removable battery.

    Tcool, 08 Jan 2016Good thing I get rid of the plastic ugly Note 3 that won't ... moreOh, ok. Against all my different screenshots on different months, I am pretty sure the Note 3 doesn't last just 6 hours. Unless you're silly enough to have the brightness on full, GPS on, gaming and downloading 12 GB with great LTE speeds - that's a sure way to kill the battery in 6 hours. I can get a good 8 hours of actual screen on usage with Wi-Fi, surfing and YouTube most of the time, over a span of 12 hours. I have those screenshot posted. Where's yours? Your proof to your statements?

    We already saw how you fabricated that I supposedly use to be an iPhone user in 2010 with a supposed comment on how "I hate plastic phones". I only joined GSM Arena in 2011. Anyone can check that.

    You're willing to stoop down like that to prove your hearsay claims. I can use your own words against you all day from your praises of the Note 3. So get real.

      Iphone 6s plus or Note 5 . . .?

      Currently owing note 3 but Never used iphone.

            No need for proof, I am using a Note 5 and I know it is better than the my previous plastic phone. There are people who haven't even tried to touch Note 5 and lots of bitterness comes from their post. For me at least I have used both phones and I know the differences.

              Good thing I get rid of the plastic ugly Note 3 that won't even give me up to 6 hours of juice for day to day activity WHEN IT IS STILL NEW.
              I always undergo the acrobatic process of replacing with extra battery.

              Now with Note 5 using the same day to day activity with the previous plastic phone, I got more juice and never have to undergo the tiresome process of changing the battery for at least twice a day.

                Tcool, 08 Jan 2016As I said, bitter people will always disagree, I know that!... moreOf course the battery degrades to a point with only "6 hours of juice" after over a year and a half.

                With a newer battery, I could get as much as 8 hours of actual screen use with Wi-Fi connected over a span of 12 hours, and leaving 13% left.

                Screenshot evidence just says more than hearsay claims you're making. Again, what's your actual screen on usage for that 24 hours of battery lasting? No screenshot? Try saying that same claim in 6 months.

                  Did I read somebody post that "Note.5 is great for underpowered users. /S"?
                  If that is the case that just means the the users of the plastic ugly phone is more underpowered. LOL!

                    And FAST, I repeat, FAST wireless charging is really good. No more tangling wires that is sore to the eye.

                    I am ready for the bitter person reply, I expect that.

                        Note 5 is such an amazing phone, 1d 2h 27m 17s on battery use since last full charge.
                        39% remaining approximately 10 h 32 m left.
                        With WiFi always on, GPS always on and most apps using location, Bluetooth always on syncing notifications and weather with smart watch, smart stay always on, NFC always on, all apps auto update, sync always on, screen time out set to maximum, watching YouTube from time to time, checking Facebook notifications and watching Facebook video post.
                        Who needs power bank? Who needs removable battery? By the time its battery charge gets low I will be lying on the comfort of my bed relaxing while charging the Note 5 wirelessly. No need for acrobatic process changing the battery, LOL!

If you haven't been doing anything it's sure enough that you can get through more than half the day with just 1/4th of your battery - but what is your screen on time during those hours?

                            Even pro reviewers of YouTube can only claim getting over 4 hours of actual screen on usage out of a Note.5. And here you are just bragging how much it stays on without doing much.

                            The bad part about sealed batteries is power hold or the number of hours of screen on usage will be slowly going down. You can expect it with 20% gone within 8 months, and half usage time by around a year to 18 months. You can read all about it at battery university dot com.

                                There are people who just won't believe cause they just can't accept that their plastic phone with removable battery will be obsolete sooner. They just can't move on.

I guess you have to do some waiting till tomorrow to erase the record of some time today that you have to charge the Note.5 before you went home.

                                  I monitor my batteries with screenshot usages to determine the rate of deterioration over the next few months. All batteries of any make will deteriorate. I can get as much as 8 hours of actual screen on use with internet connected till it reaches around 10% power. No worries of heavy use since it just takes about 80 seconds to regain 100% power.

                                  How much screen on usage does the Note.5 can do with LTE on? I'm really curious. Anyone?
