    I can't kill the battery

    You can charge it at night even if there is plenty of battery left without hurting the battery. New batterys are not like old batterys, where the proper method was to nearly drain it before charging. New batterys are different type, and two half charges equal 1 charge, unlike old batterys...

    Droid turbo > Galaxy S6 edge

    Except for some low light shots, I've gotten really nice pics with the Turbo. I swap between the built in camera app & the downloadable Google Camera app. In good to fair light, even indoors, I've had no issues. Might not be the best out there, but since I don't earn a living from my phone...
