Always a Android phone supporter. So far this is the best android I had used. Battery life is good.

And the best is the camera. The photo was so beautiful.

Used for a few days. Got the S7 edge. Battery life is good - better than the S6 I used before. Feels good in the hand but it is slippery. Good to have a skin on the back to make it more grippy and cover up the shiny back which attracts alot of fingerprint marks. Touchwiz is getting alot better now and there is not alot of bloatware. IMO, if coming from S6 then no point to upgrade unless you really want the micro-sd slot.

 

Only thing I don't like is the lack of removable battery. I use my phones quite heavily and the batteries usually don't last beyond a year. I still like to be able to swap out batteries easily. That is why I am going back to my Note 4. I am so used to being able to swap out the battery when it is flat instead of having to plug it into the wall or powerbank.

New phones usually battery life will feel good / way better than old phones. I've been using Android since the start too (though I also had iOS devices. Had).

 

Anyway. S2 was the best for me, good battery life for a long time, and more importantly, rugged...

 

However, looking at the prices of Samsung and Apple right now.... I think I might just get Asus or other cheaper Android phones in future. Not like I use much of the other features...

your batteries don't last long because you are discharging them to flat.

 

Keep your batteries charged up as much as possible.

Li-on batteries only can last about up to 1500 discharge cycles. 

In fact there's nothing wrong leaving them plugged in all the time nowadays with charging software stopping teh current when the battery is at max capacity.

even at 80%, u can put them on powerbank. They will last much longer.

No la. I use alot. I usually swap out for a new battery when I am leaving home or office for an appointment. Usually won't be less than 30%. I just go through alot of cycles throughout the day cuz i work on my phone alot.

Yup. That is why got to compare with new. Comparing a new S6 with new S7, the S7 has better battery life. The S7 even has better battery life than my Note 4 when it was new.

had the edge since the launch, first time using a 5.5" phone, a bit big for me as i like to hold and type with one hand, i think my wrist hurt after 3rd day because of the phone.

 

with the powerful spec i still feel a hint of lag compare to iphone, features wise yet to explore anything that i already know. I got it for its camera function, super fast focus, good low light. However, i experience 2 occasion of the camera stop/fail that i have to reboot in order to shoot again, could be some bug hope they fix it soon.

I just hate lugging a powerbank around. I guess one day will have no choice but to do that when all the manufacturers stop selling phones with removable batteries. For now, got to look at LG if the Note 6 doesn't come with a removable battery. But then, it is hard to change away from the Note series cuz I am used to their s-pen... :mellow:

iphone has less lag, touchwiz tends to have more lag after a while. But everything else S6/7 wins.

I find it super irritating that i have to click the left upper screen to go backwards when surfing website or after reading on a link in FB (when I'm using my wife's ip6)

Can get a screen protector that creates a button on the bottom left side of the phone. Works for most apps cuz the back button is at the same place for most apps.

Same, I don't like carrying powerbank.. Using Note 4 now, the pen is something that I like, but other than that, the price is becoming crazy..
