I heard snapdragon 820 got bad battery life. same battery life as galaxy S6 in real life review
what about Exynos 8890 battery life?
check link below
http://bgr.com/2016/03/08/galaxy-s7-battery-life-vs-iphone-6s/
Those results are BS and don't match real world results. Galaxy S7 edge gets the same battery life as the S6? No way. I owned an S6 and now own a Snapdragon 820 S7 edge and battery life is not even close. The S6 I would have to charge when I got home from work to make it through the evening. The S7 edge lasts me until bedtime and still has plenty of battery left.

Because they want people to get upset as that means people will share the information and so forth.

ok thanks maybe they don't want people to buy Samsung Galaxy S7. maybe a Troll website...fooling people
Well hopefully they didn't give wrong information on purpose. I think it's more likely that their test is just flawed or they made a mistake in testing.

Don't even buy it bro! The battery is a shame !
1860 i thought !
Anyway it's below 2000mHa and that's too bad for the big hardware inside
It's worth €249,99 not more than that

Yea that's the fact slimmer design,and they sacrificing the battery power, is it already availlable in your country??it has removable battery right??.
If does, i think We can find the doublepower batterys as an alternatives, right

To be fair, we haven't had any reviews or battery life tests yet. 1860mAh does seem small, particularly for a screen of that size/resolution, but the big.LITTLE octa-core processor can run frugally on its A7 cores when the power of its A15 cores isn't needed. I doubt it'll have the stamina of the S5 or Note 3, but I also doubt Samsung would make a "premium" device with poor battery life.
Yup agreed as samsung learned much from its competitor, good battery should be a perfect weapon. As now i use 4.3inch screen, maybe 4,7 inch was the best choices. And ALPHA would be my next devices
OrdinaryNoob
I think Galaxy Alpha is really beautiful, but the battery size bothers me. It seems too small to a "premium phone". Also, Samsung takes time to send updates to their devices. And I really think that they will release a "mini" version.
Battery, seems whole post doubted its capacity..as currently i use s2vep which has 1650 battery capacity its still ok, i'm not gammers anyway..we need one who has already bought & own this devices and give us some fair reviews..

The Alpha screen has 2.4x more pixels than your S2 Plus and it's bigger, and the screen is the biggest drainer of battery juice. But like I said, we'll need to wait and see some reviews before we can make any real conclusions.
True, screen size is battery drain issue
Do they use newer screen tech??should much improvements inside, I guess
OrdinaryNoob
I received mine today and so far so good will monitor battery tomorrow and post back how I find it. Screen so far seems good coming from s4.
Yea you lucky one...gimme some screenshot, reviews and anythings #objectively

Hi,
There is now a dedicated forum for the Galaxy Alpha located here:
Samsung Galaxy Alpha
Closing this one now
Hi I just wanted to tell you guys the things I found while using two versions of galaxy note4. I brought my Korean version to us and now using both(exynos and snapdragon ). And then I found some interesting things!
1. Battery life.
Jesus this is so much. While I used my exynos when I was in Korea and found it weird that it lasts only for 4hours. This was the maximum. So I thought this is Because of the network since I used cat.6 in Korea. But when I bought t mobile sim card and used it with the exynos, it turned out the Same.
This is a very big problem since my snapdragon lasts about 6hours screen on time.
2. Heating problem.
It depends But hmm I think it's pretty much the Same for both But my exynos gets hotter when I charge it Lol. Yeah, I think snapdragon gets little But more hot in daily Use.
3. Camera.
Well I thought exynos was kinda not so good Because when I first got it, the module was from Samsung while snapdragon was from Sony...But after the update, my exynos is now saying it's from Sony imx 240(maybe, not sure). So I was like wtf? Lol haha But Yeah both are the Same module. So No worries.
4.performance.
When I played asphalt 8 Well they we're pretty much Same. But my exynos starts to get lagged?! It's just a little and it's noRmal after turning it on again. Lol
Yeah this is all, If you guys wanna know more, ask me. I MAYBE can let you know hahaha thanks guys!!
I cant seem to find any galaxy s6 vs s7 battery comparisons OR tests ANYWHERE on the entire internet, is this becuase nobody owns an s6 or becuase its so new or is it a conspiracy?
My S7 is coming today and I have a feeling the battery life will suck...
Please post ur battery comparisons between s6 and s7 if u can thanks
Your s7 is coming today and you have A FEELING it will suck, dude no offense but this is such a stupid sentence

What do you think?
Almost same software, upgraded hardware and 500 mah bigger battery, heavily optimized software compared to Lollipop and with root, it's even better.

I think Samsung are blocking certain keywords In Google's sesrch algorithms to maintain its stupid reputation, but that's just a theory...
Is yours rooted? And does it improve the device? As I've been rooting and custom ROMing smart phones for years and I'm noticing that it's basically a flow of endless updates, bugs and battery issues whenever I hack the phone, not to mention lack of security and not being able to use banking apps..

Hey guys. So far my s7 edge hasent let me down. Is there any reason to pay 1100 cdn for an s8+ when I bought my s7 edge back in nov 2016 due to the note 7 fiasco?

If you want a bigger screen, you can upgrade. You can watch you tube reviews and make up your own mind..
For me I think better to wait for the Note 8/S9

Keep your money mate! If you were coming form an older phone I'd say make the leap, but you should be set for at least another year.
It totally depends on your circumstances. If this and if that, only you know those answers ..

It really depends. There is more to the switch than just the processor. Antutu performance wise its about 25 ranks higher than the S7 Edge in overall performance. My roommate updated from the S7 Edge and likes it and I have both and prefer the S8+. If processor is the only factor for you then you can hold off for a while maybe window shop at your local store to see if you like it better.
bigger screen and the battery life are my two big favorites over the S7E. The fact the S8+ is also far less laggy than the S7E (which has to be a software problem since the Note 7 ran like a raped ape in comparison to the S7E and they shared the same processor/ram)
battery life is nearly double for me. Which is worth it alone.
All I know is my wife's s7edge is running like crap right now. Even cleared up some memory, moved all kinds of stuff over, reset phone and still slow and the battery life since nougat is horrendous. Weird, right when the new phone comes out.
I have tested the s8 and from when I had my s7edge it's definitely faster and smoother, but it's nowhere near the speed of my Mate 9. Should work for my wife, but not me.
Seems like battery reviews are decent, but so where our s7's when we 1st got them.

Looks like nobody has mentioned that if you LOVED the way Note 7 felt in your hands with symmetrical curves front and back then you will be right at home with the S8/S8+. It's every bit as sleek as the Note 7 was. Much speedier and actually more sleek due to not having any buttons on the front.... Only negative I've got is no s-pen. Will upgrade to Note 8 as soon as it's out . Once again, if this will be enticing enough on top of what everybody else has said, will be all up to you

Thanks for the replies guys. I actually utilize soc for linux packages and such so any performance boost is good. One reason I was hesitant is the 8890 still ticks well. Also yeah if the note 8 is coming this year I may get that one. I love my s7e but I miss the note. The S pen makes a good mouse too.
How's the s8 durabilty? I already shattered my s7 edge in december and the insurance gave me a brand new one. I already wasted 100 on two tempered glass because of case incompatibility. I would run no screen protector but I'm wary lol.
Also my s7e internal memory is running out since most of my apps can't be moved to sd card lol.
Idk it doesn't seem that big of an upgrade, that's why I asked.
Until the Note 8 comes out there is zero on the market to replace what the Note 7 performed. Our Note 7's where mini PC's and I agree the S-pen had developed over the years to become a mouse. I want a Note 8 and am looking forward to its eventual introduction. I think the Note 7 is a legend of a mobile and NOT for the negative reason but its positive capabilities. I have never missed a mobile with the exception of the Note 7.

Hey all,
I wanted to make a quick rundown of my review of the s9 so far. I have the sm-g965u on T-mobile, I moved from a TMo Galaxy s5 that was rooted with a 7800mah battery. At it's peak i'd get about 3-4 days with moderate use but with 1 gig of ram moving to the s9 is a huge improvement. The speed of this phone is unbelievable. It's incredibly snappy.
My biggest issue is the battery life at this point, my battery info shows at 3500 mah but I can barely finish a day with light use with full battery. I never had this idle drain with my s5. It's 10:28am here and after 46 minutes of screen time, 23 minutes of waze i'm down to 86%!
I'm hoping once root and roms start getting pushed out for the U variant things start improving or Samsung fixes some stuff.
I am also coming from S5 and used it with the battery that came with it, 2800mAh I guess, charge it twice a day at least to keep it running, I have heard the same about S9+, the battery can only keep a day running. Samsung will definitely fix these issues in an update. Not sure when that will happen though.
Btw does the size bother you? S9+ is taller than S5, not sure if it will easily fit in front pockets of pants easily.
Good luck waiting for that custom rom...Because even on the GS8+ after a year there are no custom roms for the U model. For exynos, development could be amazing because of project treble.
Basically, don't get your hopes up. If you have an issue with battery (which to be fair you probably will), try and disable some of those apps with package disabler pro, install greenify and hope for the best.

Oh yeah, The size does great! I put mine in my back pocket, will have a zero lemon on the way here soon. I put other things in my front pockets... It's either in my pocket or on my desk with my Gear s3 taking over.

I was actually really curious about that thank you for that, I'm guessing i'll find myself moving over to the OP 6 when it comes out and just selling this one.
So you've moved to a phone with a SOC that's probably 3 times as fast, has 6 times the RAM, a much bigger and brighter screen, and a battery less than half the size, and you're surprised it doesn't last nearly as long on a charge?

I had a pretty big thought process I was going to go with, but since I haven't picked up the S9+ will just say "sorryboutyou".
I have an S5 laying around here and had a Note 3 and 4 with extended batteries. I never saw 3-4 days EVER.
Treo 600 representing! That 650 upgrade was the bees knees though. Got that advanced coupon at the conference in Dallas and by the time they showed up from that "deal" I already had been using my Sprint one for weeks.
What on earth is going in here ? Lol ????????
I used S5 for 3 yars. Battery life is same as S9+ but S9+ is much, much faster and better at all.
