4 hours sot??

True enough. I am just saying it is pointless to speculate about he battery life at all now, when we will KNOW in a week or less

yes... YMMV... I always try to caution people to not read into battery stuff online. There isn't a test, or a user, or anything out there that can replicate your usage. You alone use your apps, see the varying signal strengths that you do, etc. Even the tests that sites like Anandtech run tests and show results where a phone performs in a way that isn't even remotely close to real life usage.... so much so that I mostly dismiss the whole battery portion of their phone reviews when I read them.

michael fisher got about just under 5 hours on screen time..hardly terrible.

like anybody it all depends on signal.

There's better but the Note 7 won't be horrible. I'm guessing 4 to 6 hours SOT will be the average.

Point though is weak LTE signal pretty much makes all devices equals in the battery drain area.

Yeah that's not new. Always been known. Bad mobile signal wreaks havoc on a battery.

 

[Fedway]

The usage patterns of the reviewers is hardly typical of that of an average user. I'm sure that the battery will likely be fine.

I'm sticking to my gunz. 5.2 hours will be average SOT. The outlier though is weak signal areas- 4 hours max.

I will turn off the retina scanner and set to 1080p. I think that alone will net me two more hours. The 1080p setting alone should help a lot more than the the software currently estimates. Take it to the bank . Not sure what currency though....

Will use 1440p mainly for VR.

AA did a review and said got about 5-6 hours on screen time

I have been using a Blackberry DTEK50 for a week while waiting on my Note 7 pre order and I'm getting over 4hrs SOT for a 2610mAh battery, 5.2" 1080p LCD screen but I would hope to get better with the Note 7.

Omg... we will never know. None of us. For the 1000th time today... it's impossible to compare battery life. No.. don't even try it... nope, that doesn't work....I know what your thinking, not that way either.

The only thing you can do is to compare YOUR usage of a device to YOUR usage of another device. That's it. No other way. Literally if the review is being done in a different room of the reviewers offices, the results could be different. I work in a small 10,000 Sq foot store. If I work in the stockroom I get much better battery life than in my office.

So at a guess if I use it the same as my note 4 I'm hoping to get 20 percent more battery screen time. Is that unreasonable?

corny sock aside, this video seems to explain it pretty good.

I want it to be better than the Note 5. My Note 5 is dying. I got a SoT of about an hour and a half with it today.

4 hours?

Count me out

I haven't found any decent phones that are doing much better.
