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!

      Good thing I get rid of the plastic ugly Note 3 that won't even give me up to 6 hours of juice.
      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 at least twice a day.

      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!

          Bitter people will always disagree. I know that.

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.

                  14h 29m 19s on battery with 74% remaining for my Note 5.
                  WiFi always on, bluetooth always on connected to LG Watch Urbane and syncing notifications and weather, GPS always on, sync always on, all apps auto-update.
                  Estimated usage time remaining: 20h 51m. Who needs to bring power bank?
                  No acrobatic process of changing the battery.

                  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 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?

                            By the time the battery power of my Note 5 gets low, I am already in the comfort of my home and its time to charge it wirelessly with the fast wireless charging pad that automaltically stops charging when the phone is full while I am watching my HD movies saved in an SD card casting wirelessly via wireless card reader to my mobile proiector on my room wall.

                              Fingerprint sensor/lock of Note 5 is really user friendly with just a tap. No acrobatic process of entering PIN, pattern or password. No acrobatic process of swiping the fingerprint sensor to unlock.
                              Not like the previous plastic Note phones which are giving hassles to remember complicated passwords, PIN, pattern or swiping the fingerprint sensor is really a pain.

                                Note 5 16mp main camera with auto enhancement takes better photos than the 13mp main camera of the plastic Note phone.

                                  Note 5 screen is really superior with 518 ppi pixel density compared to previous plastic Note phones.
