agh I managed to miss this thread which is where I should have posted my results, sorry to post it again in this thread but it might actually have some use here, here's what I posted earlier in a chip related thread:
okay so in a non controlled and likely terrible attempt to measure the Samsung chip and battery in real world usage on my 6s+ I've done this, I actually don't want to use my phone any more as much as I have and trying to use it as much as I have so I'm going to post my results as they are near half way battery usage then I guess you can double them and get a estimate of my final battery life with what I think is pretty heavy use for me, this is my usage with using my phone quite a bit more then I would normally without any attempt to conserve battery, background refresh is on and brightness is set to auto, I'm fed up using it so much!
so remember to double this as this has only used half my battery:
about 7 hours of streaming (not downloaded) music and podcasts to a local bluetooth speaker
about a half hour of youtube through safari and a half hour condensed NFL game
checked Facebook and twitter a couple of times a hour
used Facebook messenger about 3 times a hour
sent on average a couple of texts every hour
did about 25 minutes of phone calls
took about 70 photo's
used safari every so often, normal use basically, I would guess about 3-4 hours of web browsing
screen on time I would guess is about 5 hours
I also have a Apple Watch paired to my phone that I haven't used as much as I have been trying to use the phone as much as I can
I have a terrible phone signal so that will impact it, can't wait to change network!
unfortunately I haven't had time to play any games so no games are in my results, I did however increase my usage in the last 6 hours or so and spent a lot more time browsing the web, texting and using apps then is listed up above in an attempt to increase battery drain
hoping this is of some use to people
in regards to the 6S+ as far as I'm concerned if this is the inferior chip then the TSMC must be nearly immortal, I didn't think I could get fed up trying to use a phone too much picking it up every 5 minutes
I'm really impressed with it, unfortunately I didn't have time to play any games but there seems to be a big surplus of battery life for that and that was with me going out of my way to be inefficient with a long screen timeout and streaming music instead of playing it locally and anything else I could think of, I'm sure if I used the watch that would result in even less use of the phone as well, the 6S+ is really great whichever chip you have I imagine
since I took the screen shots and started using my phone still more then usual but what I would call moderately, basically same as earlier with less web browsing because I'm using my MBP for that my stats are now:
battery is 49%, usage is 9 hours 11 minutes, standby is 18 hours 25 minutes
