I just don't get the insatious WANT to upgrade to a few extra things they will likely never use. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Currently I'm using note 4 & I read a lot of bad comments concerning battery & camera & a lot of lags but I didn't face anything of this! it depends of the device manufacturing itself not a global issue!
But the updates may have global issues

Also alot of complaints about lag everywhere, sound is lower (especially in games), fingerprint scanner acts up, FPS is lower in games, split screen not showing recently used apps to select.
That's a bit too much for me so I'm skipping this one for awhile.

I see a lot of complains about battery life after android 6 update! Is that true? As the battery life is important for me before buying any new device, i don't use power banks or holding charger everywhere i go.......the battery of note 5 got 85 endurance rate while S7 edge got 98! :O

If the Note 6 can have 4000mAh, with more efficient power management, I'll be happy for 8 to 12 months before the sealed battery would start lowering noticable lower power holds.
I would guess Samsung should always base their battery capacities and power management capabilities with those with the highest demands on LTE. It should be a gold standard for any manufacturers to consider.

Tcool, 14 Mar 2016I already told you there are midrange phones with 4000mAh battery.
Do some research will you!... moreYes, and there are mid range phones with 6000 mAh batteries (which isn't too thick but is a bit heavy).... have i ever said there isn't?
My comment to someone else was about what battery we could expect in the GN6.... i'm guessing it will be 3500-3800 but more would be nice

TheNe1ghb0r, 14 Mar 2016I guess you're a man who can accept facts easily, or you can't do math. Fact is, I showed you ... moreYes the Note 3 connected to Huawei ShotX WiFi hot spot gives only 6 hours of battery use plus extra battery equals only 12 hours where my Note 5 gives more than 24 hours.
That is 50% less even with two batteries. Very disappointing Note 3.

Turbo CAD, Auto CAD, Pro Engineer. Played around with plotters, worked on CNC & NC machines (class B operator). Fun stuff!
Anyways, back to Note phones.

AnonD-430264, 15 Mar 2016Agreed with the rest of what you said, but; no way 1000+ ebooks is even remotely close to 60GB... moreSome of them are pure scanned image pages. Sometimes 200-300mb each. Architecture, drawing & painting tutorials, engineering standards, going over a thousand pages for some.
