Had to send mine back I couldn't live with the battery was charging it constantly, great phone if only it had a larger battery.

Yeah it's not great. I commonly have to charge when I get home from work, but at least the fast charger is awesome.
It is better now though on Android 6.0. Also I went on holiday last week and had mobile data off the whole time and wifi/GPS only intermittent. Despite using the camera/gallery and browsing guides with a bright screen (very sunny), I was coming home with 60-70% battery! For some reason the wireless comms in this phone absolutely destroys the battery. I'm gonna experiment with having sync, GPS and/or all data exchange off for periods of the working day and see what happens.
Other than the battery and a few other problems (very limited storage with the 32GB model, which I failed to anticipate, and the sub-par RAM management), it is a fantastic phone.

Sold the white s6 on here 64gb for about £40 less than this in brand new condition apart from a small nick (S6 has 24 months warranty). So don't see this as a deal really. Plenty of others will be available.

Was wondering what Samsungs warranty policy is on both new and refurbish models? As my screen cracked and they wont repair it despite being under 12 months old :disappointed:

Sounds more like accidental damage rather than mechanical failure, mobile insurance should cover that.

Makes me laugh when people comment about LG's depreciating quickly, and this top of the spec sheet phone is £30 more than the G4! Hot!

I've got S4 and I have to turn data off while I'm working. I only turn it on when I'm on break otherwise the battery would run out by midday.

Your battery must be at the end of its life then. I still get a full day out of my s4 active and thats running a vpn. Anyway take a spare battery with you if its that much of an issue
