Re: Recombu Review

Is this really supposed to be more convenient than a swappable battery?

When there isn't one, sure.

I think there should be a sub-forum for people to post when they want to reiterate that there isn't a battery that is easily swapped or an SD card.

Get an O+O or M9?

You have no idea how well the M9 battery will perform. The only published review from tweakers.net shows some very poor battery life.

I didn't say it would be more convenient ... all I said was that I have never owned a smartphone with a battery that would last me an entire day.

I could get a Mophie-like case, but because the S6 (and the Edge) is so freaking beautiful and sexy, I decided to get a battery pack and call it a day. I mean, what are the options? O+O is not for VZW, the M9 is probably going to have a camera that is sub par, and the iPhone is ugly.

I just don't see what else I can do other than get this thing. It'll be different, but I guess I'll get used to it.

Don't you see that I must have this S6? Can't you see that I am obsessed? Don't you realize that I'm going to make the juice in that little 2600mah battery disappear faster than Oprah eats a ham sandwich? This is what it has come to, for me. Until there is some breakthrough in battery tech, this will have to suffice.

Lol, we're all obsessed, we must be obsessed in order to keep talking about a phone when every single outcome of any thread is either "well thats just your personal preference/the way you use your phone" or "well will just have to wait for the user reviews"

Re: Recombu Review

Funny you asked that as I just less than a minute ago ordered this....

That looks like a huge brick.

Re: Recombu Review

he said it ...could stream video for 7-8 hours before running dry.

That's been a fairly consistent figure thus far.

If up time given that amount of streaming, then I feel more comfortable that we can get through a regular day or more on a single charge. If not, there is rapid charging, wireless charging and power banks.

Well, I think 7-8 hours of screen-on-time is actually pretty fantastic, many phones struggle to get 5, the screen is typically the biggest battery drain, followed by the cellular modem. Doing streaming tests both....though it should be pointed out that some movies are pretty AMOLED friendly.

The other thing I'm wondering is if the streaming is playing out on the LITTLE cores...gaming would require the big cores, and total battery lifetime would be much shorter.
