Given all that Samsung accomplished in a year, I am sure the same could be said of the GS6 as it matures so let's see what happens.
Yup, but newer isn't always better. This is an exynos chip that hasn't seen the light of day in the U.S. before and the modem and radios they are using with it isn't as tried and proven as the snapdragon lte combos we have seen. There's a possibility that all of these battery and cell standby issues are a hardware issue and there's just no fix for that. Alternatively it could just be minor bugs that a software issue fixes right up, but I don't think it's fair for someone to spend that much on a phone and hope that software updates can fix whatever they aren't happy with. M8 is great out of the box and stays great, yes it's an older platform and more mature but it took a long time to get there, the old Qualcomm chips used to be awful. These new exynos might need a few more generations to reach that level, regardless of what benchmarks say.
