Day 1 with my S6: Battery life

[Bradleykinz]

My s6 active arrived in the mail today. After messing around with it, installing around 20 apps, sending texts, etc. The battery got down to around 50% from it's out of the box charge of 64%. I put it on the charger til 100% and proceeded to use it nonstop from 5pm till just past 11:30pm. I installed another 15 or so apps during this time, sent tons of texts, etc. I did not watch any videos. And I got to say the battery life is fantastic, even on it's first charge. Compared to my old phone, the S6 blows it out of the water.

Yeah. I took it off the charger at 6am it is now 345pm I'm at 95%. I have barely used it but I do have all my emails syncing. So I'm pretty impressed.

I've never had mine go below 50%, sometimes it ends the day at 85%. My primary reason for concern before getting this phone was the non-replaceable battery. Silly me.

Yeah I wanted a removable battery but I don't really see a need for it with this phone. It is nice not having to worry about charging my phone during the day.
