6 months later... S6 still worth buying?

Even as a light to medium user my battery has been gradually getting worse since 5.1.1...I'll be doing a factory reset tonight. But it seems the battery life with all 2015 phones has been less than stellar...lollipop issue?

I think it's lollipop issue and alot of manufacturers are putting smaller batteries in flagship phones. They want to make their phones thinner and put a smaller battery in it. I'd rather have a thicker phone with better battery because I put my phones in cases anyways so I never see it naked and all of its thinness.

Because its got a bigger battery. With that said, i spent time on the Note 5 forums and looked at the battery postings...you gotta admit thats less than expected, especially from the Note line. This is why i suspect its a Lollipop specific related issue hopefully resolved by 6.0.

My note 5 Battery is 15% larger than my s6e but gets about 50% battery life, if not more. Of course, everyone's user experience is different. And people have problems with every phone,and those with problems tend to be more vocal.
