Why does my battery die within 5 hours?

[AC Question]

I have a galaxy S6 Edge and im relatively new to androids. One thing I wanted was a better battery than my old iPhone but so far the battery on my old phone has been better and im not very impressed. Is there anything I can do to better my battery life?

Five hours of actual use (making phone calls, having the screen at full brightness, having a weak signal [which costs more battery] is about average. Six hours of the phone sitting there with a dark screen isn't. We need more details to know if your phone is operating normally or abnormally.

5 hours for an Android, that is being used by its full potential is not short time at all. If you don't use it than it is short time, but if you are, then that is okay.
