Tcool, 14 Mar 2016As you claim you have two Note 5, why I can't have one Note 5 and one LG G5?There's only 24 hours in a day, so why would you need another phone for heavier usage? If you get 24 hour normal usage on the Note 5, pretty sure with your exceptional battery that you'd get a full days worth with heavy usage.

The phone is plenty fast, so even with the updated processor in the LG - how much faster can it be? Why move on with another brand/phone if yours is already the best of the best?

Just curious

      TN, 14 Mar 2016LOL. GN3 can reach over 20 hours if I just use wifi with some 60%, with 4.5 hours SOT.So can't even reach 24 hours where Note 5 can do over 24 hours.

          Tcool, 14 Mar 2016Don't worry, sooner I will get an LG G5 dual SIM for heavy use.So you'll get a phone that has more power to play some online videos and do basic tasks?

          The Note 5 has plenty of power to do all of that, but you claim "regular use" all the time. It's plenty powerful enough to go through heavy use if you plan on using it for what it was intended to do.

          Sure, the battery isn't capable of hardcore usage without charging through the day and TouchWiz has issues delegating the multitasking - it's still good enough to be a companion to the laptop if you can't bring it along.

          For all the raves you claim with your Note 5 (if you even own one), why bother getting a LG G5? That phone has everything TheNeighbor has been griping about all along that the Note 5 is missing. So basically you're saying he's right?

              Chennaite, 14 Mar 2016Dude... u try stretching ur phone to tht extent.. who needs to bluff..I can't and have never been able to get 24 hours on either Note 5's. That's with "regular" use. When I say regular use I'm talking standard phone calls and Web browsing.

                PS the GN3 battery life is fine, if anyone cant get through a day of moderate use it is because the battery is approaching 3 years old and is degraded.

                    Tcool, 14 Mar 2016Funny but LG already have 4000mAh battery in their midrange phones with less than 5.7" screen ... more.....and the Gionee Marathon M5 has a 6020 mAh battery with a 5.5" screen.... i'm not sure what any of that has to do with how much Samsung will increase the GN5 battery by?

                    Currently its 3000 mAh on the GN5. History and the S7 indicates it will be around 3500 mAh on the GN6.... hopefully it is closer to 4000 mAh.

                    SAMSUNG, the SD card is back.... now give the GN6 truly premium battery life of 100 hours + on the GSMarena test.
