I had a G3 before this. It was a little bit big for my taste but I definitely did appreciate the high screen to body ratio. The S6 does feel much better in the hand than the G3 did for me, mainly due to its smaller size, though I preferred the curved back on the G3 more.
The screen on the S6 blows the G3's screen away. While both are 2k screen, I enjoy looking at the S6 screen much more. I also haven't noticed much difference in switching from a 5.5" screen to a 5.1" screen. In fact, I haven't missed it at all.
I thought I would miss Knock On, but I've found using the fingerprint scanner is actually easier than knock on, PLUS I have security. Previously, I didn't have any security on my phone because I couldn't be bothered to type in a password and Knock Code to me isn't secure. Anyone can see the pattern you've set. So another plus for the S6!
Battery life has been pretty close to what I was getting on the G3 even though the battery is a lot smaller. The optimisations Samsung have done on this phone have been executed well. I can go more than 36 hours on this phone with 4.5hr SoT, which was pretty much what I was getting with the G3 as well. Because the S6 supports quick charging and comes with a quick charger out of the box, charging the S6 is much easier and faster. While the G3 took me about 2.5 hours to charge to full, the S6 takes me less than 1.5 hours.
The speaker on the G3 was louder, but the S6 speaker sounds a lot better. There's much more bass and it doesn't sound nearly as tinny. No qualms with the placement of the speaker either. Being on the bottom is no issue for me.
The camera on the S6 is loads better than the G3. If this is important to you, then you should upgrade on this alone. I've found I have enjoyed the pictures coming from the S6 much more than the G3.
Although the G3 has a removable battery and microSD card support, I never once used these features so the S6 not having them meant nothing to me.
The only con with the S6 is customisation can be limited. Xposed doesn't work and I do miss my Xposed modules. That's pretty much the only con to this phone for me.
S6 vs G3:
Camera - S6
Screen - S6
Battery Life - S6 (While the battery life is equal to me, the S6 wins because of quick charging and lasting the same on a smaller battery)
Speaker - S6
Phone Build - S6
Customisation - G3
Hope that helps. If you have any questions, let me know.

wow awesome!!! focus as you seem? you miss the laser?
The s6 is a much better phone as a everyday user imho. the only thing i wish it had better was two speaker on the bottom that was louder. other than that the screen and speed is killer fast. it also doesn't heat up as badly.
pros about s6 is that its smaller and also gives wireless charging/turbo charging. better processor and camera are about the same.
cons would be for me speaker not too loud and screen size is a lot smaller
Never use G3 but if you want a smaller phone with one-hand operation ability, this is the one. The S6 camera level is identical to G4, though the hardware on camera on G4 looks little better but the lens got somewhat distortion at corner while S6 doesn't has this problem, so I'll say overall still S6 a bit better in reality becoz it used a better lens.
AMOLED vs. IPS they both got pros and cons so it's hard to tell. But I always prefer AMOLED on cell phone and IPS only on PC monitor because being able to display true black is more important than just displaying better color on a phone.
S6 Exynos way better, more faster and not so hot as S808, plus Exynos audio quality is better than Qualcomm CPU.
However, if you need microSD and switchable battery then it's still only to go G4.
No, Wait for the Moto X and/or Nexus in October/November. In its current state this phone is worse in every aspect other than screen and camera. It may have the specs (soc-wise) but between the memory management issue and inconsistent battery-life and the fact that reports that the memory management fix is not included in the 5.1.1 update I'd pass.
How much I want a Nexus with this screen and the LG G4 camera/ Samsung Galaxy S6 video recording (LG G4 video recording is awful including audio).

I don't miss it at all. The S6 camera is better in just about all aspects.

Only two main problem of draining battery in my experiences. First one is Wifi, it will keep scanning at the background, so if you use wifi it will use a bit more battery than expected, it is a software bug. Second problem is the Google services on S6 rom drained many battery, if you disable the Location you will save many battery.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-7-5-73-1976294-440-android-apk-download/
And update to this ver of Google services will save a lot of battery as well.
I don't meet any battery problem indeed, even slightly better than my Sony Z1 Compact. However, when I was first purchased S6, the first week is real draining quick bcoz new battery will need 1~2 weeks to optimize it, after that it's done. The most bugging me is poor memory managment(if you root it, you can apply a fix on XDA by yourself) and the camera color and exposure value still not optimized though the details and focus is real good.

It seems idle used a bit more battery than Qualcomm platform overnight. Since I'm only a medium to light usage of user(only check instant messages, Internet, little music/videos and very little games) so my SOT is always superb 7~8hrs(I also turned power saving on and turn the brightness as low as possible).
If you are heavy user(like crazy 3D gaming), I think on Earth all phone will just get the same bad SOT like 3~4hrs including IP6+, G4.
I like this phone but I mainly go for the camera part because you know I'm not a heavy user and any medium range phone is enough, so the only motivation to me to get S6 is camera. Well, the focus/speed/OIS blows out my Sony Z1c but Sony is still better on color/exposure but I think it is just a software issue and will fix later.

Hey guys, I'm considering buying a GS7 as the S8 hasn't really wowed me and is also about double the price.
Just wondering if there are any well known and/or easy-DIY physical battery modifications out there? I'm talking about this kind of thing, but for the S7, not S6. 4000 mAh would be even better if possible.
Battery cases are too bulky and heavy for my liking, unless there was some slim one with say 500-1500 mAh that only increased weight by 30-50g and size by a couple mm each way.
I'm galaxy s7 user, 3000mAh battery is enough for s7, it gives me 5 to 6 hours of sot, basically, you can use it whole day on single charge with average use. Battery modification is not recommended coz u ll lose water resistant, and may be wireless charging. it can charge upto 50% in 30 mins, which is way better than modifying hardware.

Thanks for the reply and suggestion.
I don't know if it's just me as a user, my SIM/carrier, the devices I buy, or something else, but I rarely get the same SoT as other people. I've had the HTC 10 which most people claim 4-5 hours SoT on, and I only got 2.5-3.5. I have the Xiaomi Mi5 which most people claim 5-6 hours on, but I only get 4-5. Similar experiences with tablets and laptops too.
Most days I only use my phones for 1 hour but am down to 50% after 16 hours off the charger. If I go out that night, it's pretty common for my phone to drop another 20-30% depending on signal strength in bars. This simply isn't good enough for me, and sure I can just charge the phone for a bit, but sometimes I won't know that the battery has dropped so much and won't be near a charger.
I'd be happy to risk losing the water resistance for a bigger battery.
I don't think you'll face issue. I had s5 it had horrible battery time, then s6 it gave me 2.5 hour sot, and this s7 is giving 4 to 5 hours with always on display enabled.

What about standby time though? Is that 4-5 hours SoT over a 16-24 hour day?
yup 16 to 24 hours on my use.

Hi all,
I am thinking about getting a pixel soon as an upgrade/downgrade from the nexus 6p. My battery life on this thing is dreadful, like 2 hours sot at a best case scenario usually resulting in me charging twice a day and that's with light to medium usage or if I don't use it much at all.
Anyway I'm interested to see if the battery life might be better on a pixel but I am a little worried as it's a much smaller battery than I have now. I've had nothing but bad luck really when it comes to android and battery life.
The reason for not waiting for the pixel 2 is pretty much that after recycling this I could get the current pixel for about £250 and that way it won't hurt my bank balance as I'm saving for other stuff.
Anyway would you recommend this phone?
Thanks
Not a downgrade but battery life is great for me anyway. You will miss the front facing speakers tho

I don't think you're going to see huge gains from the 6P to the Pixel in the battery life department (if both phones are working well). If you are only getting 2 hours SOT on the 6P and charging twice a day then something is wrong - either something is keeping the phone awake or the battery's capacity is shot.
I never had the 6P, but reviews seem to suggest you'd see a similar battery life 6P vs Pixel...
Thanks. I hear alot of 6p owners having battery issues, It was fantastic when it was new! I think it's had it combined with a crap chip means it's just not lasting half a day. I ususally have to put it on charge after 6 hours as its about flat and all I do is check some social media and websites from time to time, the odd phone or text. Anyway I'm looking for something that can handle 3-4 hrs SoT as a average when mostly going around using 4g
Bought mine when carphone warehouse dropped the price to £399 which is a great price for this phone.
Been great, battery is really solid and camera is amazing.
I took my oneplus 5 back and got this.
I cannot recommend the phone enough to be honest. The battery life is amazing. As you've said, you've had bad luck with battery in the past; You may want to keep an eye on what apps you install as that could also be a major contributing factor.
Hmm I got an iPhone 8 at work and the battery brain and loss of battery on that is amazing, it barely leaks. On my pixel it just leaks battery life so easily and quickly.
I know it depends on how you use the device and 100 other factor but anyone else get this general feeling? I read Pixel 1 has heat issues with that version of CPU.
I recently purchased a used pixel.. I did expect the battery life to be better than it appears to be... i'm not sure if its because the battery is fairly degraded from the previous owners.. or if I have a slow drain.. or maybe just an unrealistic expectation of the smaller variant... but I am curious to know if other people see really good battery life on their phone.. Thanks!
I bought a used pixel as well. I have questioned the battery life as well. Then again I purchased this phone for 150.00 and the quick charge is a blessing. I did crack my screen so I was going to perform a battery change while I did the screen to see if that would fix my issue. Here is a screenshot of my battery.
Keep in mind that Apple uses some funny algorithms to report the battery percentage and usage in a way that makes the user perceive the battery life to be better than it actually is. Like, why do you think it stays at 100% for so long? When down to 3, 2, or 1%, the battery lasts forever until it the device finally shuts down. Don't trust Apple (iOS), and take everything they report with a grain of salt.

I also bought a used Pixel and found the battery life not to match my expectations, as it is quite average like mid range phones. I ran a Geekbench 3 battery test, and got the score of 1798, which is slightly below other Pixels, but not that much. So while the Pixel XL has a top level battery life, the smaller phone lacks of battery to run the powerful hardware. Still I am quite happy with battery life while soft usage watching videos.
Here are screenshots of my battery life all made without charging the phone in between. The first screenshot is with gaming and heavier apps (around 3h15 SOT), while the second and third are almost only soft usage with mainly YouTube and Netflix at 50% brightness, where I can get around 4hrs30 SOT, which I am happy with. Hope this helps somebody.

so do you use the adaptive screen brightness or manually change it throughout the day?

So I am a long time Iphone user who has recently switched to Android and recently bought a Note 10+ - cant justify the new iphones being prices so high with no new innovation or software upgrades
I have noticed that the battery life is decent, not as great as the reviews on youtube have mentioned. I cant seem to get more than 3.5 to 4 hours of SOT with my phone, and when I use the phone the battery percentage seems to drop down percent by percent fairly quickly? Maybe it's just me but my 3 year old iPhone seemed to stand the percent when being used than the Note 10.
Not to mention, the battery life overall is impressive i can easily get a whole day and maybe a bit more depending on the usage. On standby the battery seems to do well and not drain quickly. I also use AOD and that seems to take about 4-5% extra per day? Which is not a big deal.
I have the Exynos version of the phone. I have heard the Qualcomm version fares better in terms of battery life? Just need some thoughts about this on the usage from all fellow Note 10+ users
I'm coming from an iPhone 8 plus and have the Note 10 (my first Android phone) and am also disappointed in the battery life.

Exactly! I woudn't say im disappointed, but i hoped for much better considering it has a whopping 4300mah battery and apparently the battery is good at optimizing itself based on how the device is being used. My friend has a Oneplus 7 pro and his battery life seems much better even witht he quad HD and 90hz refresh rate on, and the battery is a tad bit smaller than Note 10+
