There are no consequences outside of a dead battery.

What will happen if my Galaxy S6 (will be) is turned off for a long time?

Yup. Just recharge it when you get it back. But damn, that's such a harsh penalty. We're so accustomed to our protective laws here in America we take them for granted. Imagine if a high school principle did that here and refused to give it back? How quick do you think the parents (who paid upwards of $900 for it) would descend on the school with pitch forks? After ten years in the Navy and living in other countries you certainly learn to appreciate what you got back in 'Murica.

I'm not going to lie friend I'm pretty sure it's illegal to confiscate a phone for that long. I'd be getting your parents to speak to higher authority I would not be standing for such [language]!

I agree... I would call the police and file grand thief charges then sue in court and take the principal and the whole school district to court. Get a lawyer.

Re: Galaxy S6 (will be) turned off for a long time
OP is from Malaysia. They have different cultural morays than we do. The punishment could have worse. In the US, if a school, public or private, has a rule, the kids deserve the consequences. If you don't like the rule, work to change it. These schools have to worry about possible illicit activity, criminal or juvenile. Backup topic, no issues to the phone. An hour or so on the rapid charger and back in business.

This is where things go from bad to worse for the OP. Don't be surprised if he/she is not heard from again.

Re: Galaxy S6 (will be) turned off for a long time
I don't think anything will happen to your phone. I'd say it's a bit of a harsh punishment, but trying to call it theft is a bit daft. School policy and conduct are likely all there, and state the consequences. The fact there's no wiggle room is just downright odd, and personally I'd recommend going there with an apology, and not an accusation.

You did the right thing by being respectful and apologizing. See of your parents can appeal to get it returned sooner.

If more schools did this in the United States we may end up with better students...

Re: Galaxy S6 (will be) turned off for a long time
I agree, I just think the duration of the confiscation is absurd... especially for something so expensive that you still have to pay bills for those 2 months of no use.
If they did that in the US, it would be lawsuit city.
