Hello,
Apologies if this has been asked before. I did a quick search, but not a thorough search.
Is it worth replacing the battery to a get another year or so out of the phone? What's a "good day" on an S6 on Nougat?
My teenage sons have Galaxy S6s on VZW. They're a few months shy of 2 years old. Battery life is pretty poor. Maybe about 6-8 hours before they need a charge. Problem is, they're in school when they need that charge (not like us "adults" with desks and offices...) and they're all busy after school. So my wife and I rely on them having working phones.
I'm more of a Moto guy than a Sammy guy, but I've been around a bit and know the basics of good battery hygiene and how to use a phone.
I took one of the phones for a few day, FDR, tried all of the Sammy TouchWiz/Andorid tweaks other than the Batt Saver modes and barely got a comfortable 8 hours before needing a charge. I'm mostly a conservative user. A few phone calls, txts, read various forums and RSS feeds. No big gaming, youtube, etc... I know the boys use their phones more.
Make sense to replace the battery or am I chasing unicorns?
Yes, I'm posting the same question on another forum.
