Re: Phone Arena Battery Test (Note 5 v. Others)
Just how many people have these phones already and have had them long enough to really make any serious judgements about it? The way I've read some of these posts, there seems to be quite a few people who've had this phone for months already and are waiting on the Note 6 to upgrade.
I'll say I'm not real happy with the phone and I don't even have it yet, but, I'm going to give it a chance. I'm going to see how it compares to my older Note2 that I'm replacing it with and going to run it just like I have for the past 3 years.
My Note2 has a 3100mAh battery that's still running strong. The Note3/4 had a 3200mAh battery and people complained about battery life. The Note5 has a 3000mAh battery and people are going to complain about the battery.
The differences between the 4 phones is only 2/100ths of an amp of power. I really don't think it's that significant in the grand scheme of things. If it were possible to place any of those batteries into any of the other phones, I'm willing to bet the drain and standby times would probably not be that significant.
I'm really curious to know what the real user experiences are with the phone. I don't care about test times and charts showing what phone does what with full charts running some test program. It's not real world. Just like all the charts looking at the way a processor tests compared. Most people aren't going to be able to tell the difference between Exynos, Qualcomm, Atom processor when they're using it.
