EDIT: Found it here...

Anything over a day is fantastic for me.
Adding that a few minutes on charger can give me a few more hours, also makes it better in my mind.

AnonD-426702, 03 Dec 2015I think only XL has liquid cooling - for 810. 808 is not getting that hot.
Oh, but it gets hot, and I mean hot, especially when running Continuum with opened programs on both screen. But even in the highest of pressure, it doesn't overheat, in fact the panel seems to cool down a bit after a while.
So, why I can't find official statements on the matter, except the slides from the official announcement even where Microsoft stated BOTH have liquid cooling, I think S808 needs it for Continuum.
I will check further on the matter about the cooling system and will update the review if necessary. Thank you all for the input!

AnonD-426702, 03 Dec 2015Not sure why 2 days is bad battery life.
Do I read something wrong? I am missing something ev... moreBecause the 2 days on z5 actually did 73 hours in GSMARENA test and lumia did 48 hours . So that "2 days" is not same with this "2 days" understand ?
You ask compared to what ? z5 , s6 all have more than 50% of battery life than that lumia 950 .

Me, 03 Dec 2015you crazy? do you even know what you're talking about? There is 6tag, which is even better tha... moreI checked 6tag and since it's better than Instagram BETA, it's NOTHING compare to all the settings and filters you have with the official Instagram...
Couldn't find my bank app, my carrier app, MAPS.ME (best offline maps), couchsurfing, hostelworld, booking, grindr, transport app like buses or train in Belgium, or very useful and funny small apps.
Quantity and popularity don't mean quality. But in that case I'm sorry, WP is very shitty for that and it's not a coincidence if it's the less popular system among the smartphones.

Kopi-O-Siew-Dai, 03 Dec 2015C'mon... Did you even make an effort to make a search on the Internet? No Instagram?! Let me s... moreYes lol... Instagram BETA. You just have a few filters, you cannot touch the contrast, clarity, saturation, or none of the others setting. It lacks of the new format of Instagram as well and videos. It is just meaningless compare to the Android and IOS version.

That is not much when you consider that a user that buys this kind of phone is all the time doing something with it.

Not sure why 2 days is bad battery life.
Do I read something wrong? I am missing something everybody else does different?
It's years since I had a phone that can last over a day.
Sony advertises their Z5 line as having the ADVANTAGE of "2 day battery life".
My oldie Note N7000, not on its THIRD battery since purchase, lasts about HALF a day on a charge. With a custom ROM and almost no third party apps. That said, this battery is dead cheap Chinese one, which I purchased at a very low price on eBay as a pair and had an external battery charger as well (so I use one, charge the other). But my first two batteries where original Samsung and they BOTH managed to inflate! (so I risked explosion etc.) Before blaming my chargers, let me tell you I charge other devices on them, including my Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet LTE, without issues.
So again... I don't get why 2 days is bad battery life for a smartphone. Compared to what? Sony Ericsson S25? Or my Caterpillar feature-phone, that lasts over ten days (but is just a 2G waterproof device that can only do calls and SMS - and I keep as a backup with my second SIM).
(btw getting an XL)
