Very disheartening to read the reports of S6 sales which appear to be even lower than the S5, which itself caused Samsung's profits to tumble and a massive reorganization and rethinking of their product line.
For me (and probably many other customers and prospective customers) my biggest concern in the redesign before my purchase was battery life and sadly, and maybe through no fault of Samsung's (but of Lollipop), battery life does not even slightly meet my expectations for a $1000.00 phone. That's A LOT of money to not get a well functioning phone that requires constant battery management and worry.
I know others here claim that battery life is super for them but nearly every article I read now mentions battery life as one of the top issues with the S6 and, in my personal experience, I couldn't agree more.
Sales don't lie and regardless of whose fault it is that many S6's have battery life issues (Google's, Samsung's, carrier, customer for not turning off enough stuff, etc.), in the end it's Samsung's responsibility to resolve it as the manufacturer, especially since things like that drag down sales (along with other things I'm sure) as we are seeing firsthand.
