Should i be worried??

If you totally listen to the forums and the internet reviews you wouldn't buy anything.

Take it with a grain of salt.

And don't be scared to buy a S6.
If there is a bug it will be worked out with a software update.

Yes, take the bad you read with a grain of salt. Take the good you read as gospel.
All the reviews I read that I like said the the S6 rocks!

There's cause for concern when every review unit is doing the same things, too, but that just isn't the case here. Some people just think their experience translates into reality even when it's obvious it doesn't.

Well, battery issues with the S6 have been pretty widely reported. It's not just a few isolated experiences. Is it a cause for panic? No. So far it has only been released on Tmobile so let's wait for the wider release and see what happens. But is it a cause for concern? Absolutely.

I'm talking about the extreme battery loss where you're getting 2-2 1/2 hours on screen and less than 10 hours. That doesn't seem to the case for most people. Also the "My S6 lags" thing, too, since people who review the devices for a living, who've used other Android/Apple/Windows phones, aren't having that issue and find the phone to be very quick.

There's just a few people, and it happens with every phone, who aren't having a good experience and instead of just sharing said experience, they act as if it's indicative of how all the phones will run. Even when they're clearly in the minority. That's all I was saying.

The closer we get to this Friday, the more positive the reviews and battery life results. Let's hope the trend continues to be even better.

As much as you want to be in denial, it's not just a few people. Another thread just started here on terrible battery life. Cell standby time is horrible. All the forums are reporting the same thing. You can keep insisting it's only a few people if it makes you feel better. But this is obviously a widespread problem. It might just be the T-Mobile version or it might not. We will have to wait and see.

You're ignoring what I'm saying. There is clearly an issue here, but the severity that some people are reporting is in the minority. I'm not going to discount countless reviews, some of which are done by people I talk to regularly, just because some people on a forum aren't happy with their battery life.

This is a Lollipop issue that's been present for awhile. The phone hasn't even technically launched yet. It's one carrier. Pardon me for telling people the sky isn't falling.

Could you also be in denial? Why would ask a question like that? Are you a medical professional? Rather than casting aspersions, let's focus om the issue. There isn't enough information to definitively diagnose the problem. Is it possible that cause of the battery drop off be a bad battery? More and more reviews are using retail devices and the tide appears to be turning in the direction opposite to those trying to point out isolated cases. In terms of millions of devices sold, the sheer number even all thread posts combined on individual issues is still a very small percentage.

So T mobile in the U.S. has already release the Samsung Galaxy S6.

We don't have any Tmobiles around here. Their phones don't work.
At Best Buy you can't get them till they send you a email stating to come and get your preordered phone.

I have played with the S6 in Best Buy. Didn't notise the battery going down. And we had a class on the S6 for an hour.
