My gs6 lost 1% while going to bed and waking in the morining.you have a stupid app backing up or syncing in the background
Cloud,dropbox,onedrive,photos etc can all be re backing up your device.

The iPhone I had at the time generally had better battery life in my opinion than other flagships at the same time.
I am getting pretty damn good battery life from my S6 Edge. Typical use for me and the battery will last about 30 hours.
He has the best cinematics I would say but DetroitBorg and MKBHD are tops in the game IMO.
Well. They are the top, yes. But when camera is so important now, I get most out of best cinematics and great tips.
At this stage does a review make any difference when those of us who were going to buy one have indeed bought one ..... 
MKBHD and Erica Griffin have not done a full review yet, Detroitborg and Mobiletech have.

Lol.... based on evidence of some ...
It seems you simply pop onto the iphone section and begin trolling or turn every other thread in the others subfora to a 'vs apple' thread regardless of need or merit.
Right on about Alpha - I have a really nice 850M with the Exynos I got new in an Ebay Auction and the speaker is very full not like the AT&T speaker its very fast and excellent reception with black cool looking menus.
BUT Alpha could have been great- Samsung used the same Sensor as S5 but gimped it down to 12 megapixels.IF they had used the Note 4 Camera and made it 7.8 millimeters thick with 2600 Mah Battery - Alpha could have been a big hit worldwide but it would have smoked the S5 and the only thing allowed to beat S Series is Note Series.
Alpha is really rugged also.
I like what Samsung is doing now except the Anorexia-they are making phones too thin and killing Battery Life.
Imagine a Galaxy S6 Pro at 7.6 mm thick with a 3100Mah Battery at $850.
Cry about price once but never cry about Battery 100 times lol.
I get pretty good SOT 4 hours + and I need to upgrade to S6 for the Camera
BUT I am concerned about Battery life- will drive me nuts if it' s not at least 6 hours SOT at 20%;brightness lol.

??? I don't even remember the last time I posted in the iphone forum. Must've been a couple of years ago. May e your confusing me with someone else? I don't feel like I'm trolling.
First impressions of my s6. Amazing.
Love the keyboard too. It's so helpful having the number row always on top.
Camera, great. double tap to launch is as fun and useful as I thought it would be.
Beautiful device. I have the gold. Worth the wait. Camera bump not as bad as I thought. Really not that thick and there is virtually no rocking when placed on table unless I try. And oh so comfortable in the hand. Really a good size.
Screen truly is gorgeous. Reading text is sublime. Haven't even fully immersed myself in a video yet
Device is fast but lag creeps in during the settings menu like when toggling switches on/off in the settings menu, it can really hang. What's up with that? That's the only place. It's really weird.
Finger print scanner just as good and as bad as iPhone's. Meaning when it works it is fast and youre in. When it doesnt, it's frustrating. I eventually turned this feature off on my iPhone. I wonder if I'll do the same here over time...
Touchwiz so far isn't bad at all. Quite nice actually. The ability to not only customize your quick settings in the pull down menu but to have two rows? That's awesome. A simple swipe can take you to a second tier of less important settings toggles. It's a fantastic feature. Even when you go into the full setting's menu you can choose up to 9 of your most important settings to place at the top looks clean and is helpful. A plus on these features.
One thing I hate? the back button is on the lower right. What the heck? It makes your thumb when using your right hand have to crank and bend so much to hit it becsuse it's so low on the device. Very uncomfortable and will take getting used to. Annoyed that Google allowed Samsung to get away with this for so many years.
Another thing I hate? The app drawer. Why the AZ feature doesn't just stick is annoying. What's worse is even when you go to press it to sort alphabetically, it'll tell you every single time, "we're about to sort alphabetical " um thanks?
To early for battery results but it is sipping fast because it's been on since I took it out of the box. Hopefully will settle over the next few days
Did I mention I love this keyboard? Auto correct is super too. Just wish there were arrows for editing.
That's all I got so far. Will be looking to sell my one plus soon no doubt. Maybe even my iPhone 6. God the gold is beautiful on this thing. Not as reflective as I feared it would be.
More to come.... haven't even played with the multitasking features yet

You missed the sarcasm / tease of the post.
I wasn't referring to you at all - but just the general way some posters post when a new device comes out

At least you got an A-Z option .. unlike me
I think im going to ditch my 6 Plus for an S6, about to head to AT&T in a few to get it and I believe the iPhone is going on Swappa! Don't mind me, I'm an avid phone switcher.
You think you have a problem ? Some of us went through 16 different handsets last year. This year I'm already on my 4th.....
Hi what do you mean by SOT? the screen turned on only during 4 hours? or also doing things like browsing and playing games?
