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.

It is a flagship phone, it should have more than what a midrange phone have.

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

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.

Around 300 paged ebooks equals approximately 1GB IF you had around 3300 of them. Even with pictures in them, I don't think so.

It's a mobile modern tool we can all use, less more of an ornament for status. I even use it for sketching design ideas, and mirrored drawing demonstration and slide presentations to my students - this is what we need in classrooms now. A copy of my library of 1000+ ebooks (60+ GB) is on my microSD. I was carrying a portable 80GB HDD over a decade ago for files, now basically we can accomodate that size on our smartphones for instant access.

To be honest, I got tired of sitting at a desk or in front of a laptop most of the day. Phones are the ultra mobile way to do computing with freedom. Those who think they are just for social apps, calls, texts, videos, pictures, etc.. are living in the past. You don't need an octa-core CPU with 4GB RAM to do that stuff.

Weather we like it or not phones are being used more and more and it wont change. Hopefully the GN6 gets a substantial battery bump to become the ultimate phone again. :-)
