I had a Nexus 4 which had 2.5 hours SoT, the S6 battery is great, gives me 5 hours SoT minimum.

Thanks, but I know what the battery spec is. I am curious as to what it is like in real life operation. Many reviews say that the battery is a little disappointing.

if u wanna use it to its potential, you will charge it more than daily, but that's why it has fast charging

So the solution to terrible battery life is simply to charge it more often?
Fast charging is good, but it doesn't help if you are out for the day and if I'm at home, battery life is pretty irrelevant. Poor battery life means carrying about a power bank if I want to last a whole day.

Can anyone work out whether Quidco will work on this deal? can't see any cashback for mobiles?

Brilliant phone, i love it.
That been said the battery is dreadful!! I struggle a 12hr day without charging.
However recently found putting it on 'Power Saving Mode' doesnt harm the performance at all but in last few days lasts much longer.
Camera is top!!

What's the battery life like on the S6? Is it as bad as the reviews make out?
