For years people in the US had to listen to how much better the Exynos was over the Snapdragon in the Notes, and now it's the other way around so I am not bothered by the disparity in performance (which I bet isn't even noticeable in real life use). So, there!

I'm kidding... or am i? lol
Also, like folks are saying - every year people get worried about the battery and every year it turns out fine. IMHO the obsession with battery life is so over the top. It's always the number one topic after a Note is released - people asking and comparing battery life and screen times and how someone is getting 49 hours between charges, etc. when most people will rarely go that long without being able to charge the phone. It ends up being a contest of who can get the longest battery life and longest screen time and folks trying to replicate settings - but you cant replicate the most important part and that is how the phone is used in the first place. "Heavy" usage for one person is not going to be the same as "heavy" usage for another. People act like they are going on a 2-3 day getaway every other day where there will be no power outlets.
I'll say it again, I blame apps like AccuBattery that has contributed so much to the anxiety that people get with charging their phones when most people will have sold or traded their phone in by the time there is noticeable battery degradation. It makes me sad that people spend 24/7 worrying about battery life after they get their new phone, rather than enjoy the device they just spent so much money on.
