Ha, sorry, I didn't interpret that right. Still, it has good battery life. I had one for a while.
Secondly, you're right, the AW doesn't get 20 hours... it gets more.
$100 less than the Bragi The Dash wireless earbuds that were available in February from Amazon. Cons seem to be the connectivity.
I easily get 7-8 hours with my PowerBeats2 on a single charge while on bluetooth.
Totally, just like everyone knew that apple was going to develop and sell amoled screens. Samsung beat them to the punch....
EVERYONE knows that apple invented oled screens in 2017

Corded headphones are safe,but there are concerns regarding using wireless and bluetooth ones,some link them to brain tumors.google bluetooth headphones safety.
What are you reading? I've only heard the exact opposite from Engadget, Verge and of course Apple sites. Are you reading reviews from Android sites only? Nothing wrong with that but let's not pronounce the death of the world's best selling smart watch until the majority of reviews actually agree with your assertion.
Samsung has become the leader in innovation. Unafraid to risk change they are doing a great job of filling in where Apple once was.
This was something predicted a number of years back. That one or more Android OEM's would out engineer the iPhone. A matter of numbers.
Nope, Independant review sites have it measured at 18 hrs, a fanboy on here was bragging about the 18hr claim lol. Pathetic!! My gear s2 hadn't seen a charger since satdi morn, and still going strong. 26% left. Tizen is more optimised than ios..
Maybe they were bragging because Apple actually meets its battery life claims while Samsung and most others exaggerate. I'm happy that you're getting more than 1 day of battery life but who cares? I've never run out of battery life in 1 day and have sometimes gone over into 1 1/2 or even 2 days but it doesn't matter because I charge my phone and watch together every night like everyone else does. I just don't see that extra 26% as bragworthy, sorry.
Sorry, the extra 26%, someone hasn't read post correctly, satdi morn, I took.it off charge, so all day satdi, all day Sunday, this morn it had 26%, I've worn it all day, at 6pm to nite it's gone back on charge with 8% left. This is a 60hr device, good luck with making it through the day.
The 4GB I think is useful for an onboard music player as the bluetooth connection between these and a phone wil be sub-par.

How is this innovative by Samsung? They are basically ugly copies of the Dash.
Like I said, good for you. Come back when your device works for a full week without a charge. Until then there's no difference between a day and week for everyone that charges their device daily.
Are you on drugs, are you saying that a device that lasts 3, 5 or 6 days is no better than one that struggles to make it through day 1? Oh bless, you are adorable... talk about denial!!
I could make an argument that 2,3,4 days is actually worse than a day or a week. Ask any iPad owner. I don't regularly charge my iPad because it lasts so long so when I do use it, it often dies while I'm using it. It's all about training. I know you'll say I'm making excuses for Apple but I don't care because Inadjustbthe way I use a device based on its battery capacity and so does everyone else. You never use your watch or phone for 3 days straight. While you sleep it could be topping off but you don't charge it so it does mid day much more often than mine does. When it lasts a week or two, I'll stop charging daily but until then, you're trading not caring about charging as much for the distinct possibility of a dead device when you least want it.

That makes no sense what so ever, 4 days is worse than 1 day? Come on man, I have a Gear s2, I can take it off charge first thing Monday morning, and not have to worry about it till late weds eve, onto the charger, back on the wrist Thurs morn till satdi night, It never leaves my wrist, waterproof so showers not an issue. If you think this is somehow better than struggling to the end of day 1, good luck to you. And yes, it does seem like you are just making excuses for the atrocious battery life of the AW.

Where did you find this AppleTV rumor? from Carl Icahn? LOL
Apple will never release TV screens.

#1 sales thanks to the crap and cheap handsets they make. Better .. better . this is not a debate anymore.
Smartphones these days are measured by the user experience not the stupid numbers "mega pixels, mAh, etc." when you have different platforms.
iPhone is the Best Smartphone Experience that anyone could ever have. If you use both platform like me you should understand.
Apple is Apple it doesn't matter if Steve of Tim, the genius people / engineers still there. Steve made the rigid base.

Oh Wait .. !
Curved screen? you mean the all roundup screen they got patented since 2010?? Oh I'm afraid, you think Apple will do this gimmick curved screens out from samesung? No No No, not in this world.
Smartwatch? Wasn't Sony the first company to introduce the Smartwatches?
Notification screen? you're kidding, aren't you?
To sum it up.. Samsung has never ever invented / reinvented anything in this world. They do what they best at "Copy".

Cmon dude you are posting with agenda here a little bit.
Yes Iphone are number 1 in sales but sales is something you can’t just base alone of what is the best product. Apple are a huge brand who have very loyal customers. That doesn’t nean what Samsung have out this year isn’t an amazing device and it is arguably the best smart phone this year so far.
You are right though the user experience generally is second to none on the iphone. It works well and is very dependable.
In terms of features and what the phone has on it the iphone is behind what Samsung is offering. There’s no harm in admitting that. A lot of the features apple are bringing out in 2017 is what the Samsung phones this year already have. Screen display for one.
Think you will find it’s highly likely the 2017 iphone will come with a curved screen. Some here are knocking it but as somebody who has the S7 edge as well it’s a great device and some of the edge features are very useful to have.
When you hear the rumours on the note 6/7 it’s very easy to get excited for what they are bringing out this year the same excitement we will get for the 2017 iphone.
