My report on battery life so far

And you turn no settings OFF and aren't just letting your screen sit there?

If I turned zero settings off on my S6 Edge I'd be lucky to get 2.5 hours SoT.

You don't have to believe it, but it is what it is. 4 to 5 hours sot. Settings the same as all my other Android devices. I've never let apps run rogue on any device.

I agree with "DSMpowerhousegroup" here, I have an S6 and would never get less than 4 hours SOT, unless I was using it heavily for calls (which is rare, haha). I've had my S6 since May 12th and I have not needed to charge it during the day even once. 16 hours a day with 4+ SOT, no problem. I never use nearly that much most days, I'm typically at around 30-40% by the end of my typical day, so it suits my needs. I don't turn everything off, nor do I toggle anything or use power-saving on it. I have a list of my settings and screenshots here (I did an S6 review shortly after getting it):

Having said that, the G4 looks like a great phone. I'm happy with my S6, but I'm sure I'd be happy if I got the G4 as well. All I'm doing here is trying to dispel all the negativity about the S6 battery. Based on most of these replies in this thread, my S6 battery is on par. The fast charging and wireless charging are great features, as well. Of course, if mine DID run out, I wouldn't be able to swap it out for another, so +1 to G4, right? :)
 
End of the day battery shot before going on the charger. I could have probably hit 5 hrs SOT if I didn't have to charge it. It needs to be done charging by 1215 so I can crash. I don't like leaving my phone plugged in the whole night when I'm sleeping.

My battery life is slowly getting better.

With out of the box settings and 3 hours of gaming, I get 5 hours of SoT with about 16 hours of standby with my S6. Here is my latest screen shots with slight tweaks that I do for all my phones, with no gaming or what I consider light use (totally on 4g and no wifi at all)...
