For those of you who have received your Galaxy S6 Edge already, congratulations I wish I was one of you ☺
Please report how your battery life (so far) is. I know it's a small sample but I'd like to know about.
Thanks
As far as i got to know, the battery life of Samsung Galaxy S6 is quite good and is having nice longevity. It offers the 2600 maH battery life which is much good from the other smartphone's that's in the market now days. http://cdn4.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon14.gif
Got mine Saturday played a ton with it that day. Sunday was much of the same. The battery was so so. By no means will I ever rate a battery week one.
Today was more of a normal day and I was pleased with the battery life. It is difficult to say how it will be. I'm coming from a Note 4 so making comparisons isn't fair.
More to come...

you could post some SS for it, at least we can have some idea, thanks...
This is the only reason why I might skip the edge. I currently have Z3 and it is just so much joy to never be worried about battery life. I don't even check what is the SOT anymore since I know that no matter what I do with the phone it will last the whole day.
However S6 edge just looks so gorgeous and my blocky Z3 starting to look so last season..

Well, if you think like this, you can never buy a new phone. There would be many downsides of Note 5 and an that point you will think of S7.

So you are saying that industry reached its peak with battery life with z3 and everything else after this it's just downhill?
I hope not!

I agree with Andy. The Z3's battery life was the stuff of legends compared to the crap life of just about every other smartphone out there. I miss mine too sometimes but honestly, I'm rarely without power so a quick charge is a reasonable tradeoff.
Battery life, like mentioned is so so. It's better than my last phone, but definitely not up to z3 standard.

In 28m 24s on battery I'm at 95 percent with 23 mins of screen time and like 2 youtube video, texting, and making changes to the home screen.
I will be comparing it to my iPhone 6 Plus and OnePlus One later in the week.

For playing games and youtube this is quite good! Let us see your stats later. Maybe at 50%, screen on time and usage details like above. You're the first to give real details. Thanks
Anybody else getting abnormal amount of "Cell Standby" drain? For reference, I am also on Wifi Calling. This cell standby battery usage is usually higher than screen on time.
My cell standby is 1% and I've been using the phone since 9am.
I have WiFi calling off and power save mode off. Tomorrow I will test it with power save mode on. Right now I'm sitting at 61 after 1hr of hulu. I did some textimg ,phone call and a few videos on ign also. . Next update will have pics and details
Same here. Cell standby is killing my battery. Factory reset may help?

Hello all, I have seen a few posts about battery life on the galaxy s 2. I collected mine yesterday, full charge last night, been using it all day, on either wifi our hspda, battery life is still at 50%. Been watching videos, playing angry birds, a lot of internet and the odd phone call. My old desire hd normally died around mid afternoon with this much usage, have to day, massively impressed. Oh brilliant phone as well.

Yeah nice to know battery performance is improved!
thanks
I'm not impressed so far. Killed mine in less than 9 hours today from full charge.
I am in the first 48 hour period, had played a bit of Angry Birds, shown off how well it handles Flash and all that gubbins, but still, 9 hours is pretty pants.
Maybe the FM Radio is a battery hog, I did have it on for a good few of those hours...
9 hours of battery within first 48 hours translates into roughly 2 full days after the first month.
Yeah true, people must forget they never leave it alone at first and they moan the battery aint too good , novity wheres off and the real readings will show
With a good rom my captivate would last 2 days so I am hoping the SGS 2 lasts at least that long.
i've got sgs2 as well. using it with half brightness level almost never turned display off installing and surfing non stop it's been 1.5 hour 20% consumption.
I'm getting about 10 hours with very heavy usage out of it at the moment. I still haven't given it a full charge cycle from dead yet so I think that should gimme a bit more juice.

There is lot more going in Android compare to Omnia which has silly{useless to be precise} widgets running,symbian^3 in N8 rather does a better job & thus less battery life then Omnia but still better then any other droid.
Here in Android you have anywhere b/w 5 to 7 home screens,widgets running in background & whole lot of things,that's the main reason why Android is always said to have an average battery life.The likes of SGS 2 & Atrix {with huge batteries} are really doing a good job here.Compare it to utter bull**** battery life in HTC Desire HD for example & you will know what i am saying
Do you guys have Latitude turned on?
I've got 10 hours and 9 hours from my first two days.
I'm worried about the Social Hub. I logged in to Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Google Talk and now realise I can't remove these accounts?!?!!? If it's constantly checking all that, it's going to drain my battery very quick
I see many test on battery, and all say it is normal.
With a good rom will do better

That could either be pretty rubbish or impressive depending on your usage. Care to elaborate for us?
With the couple of reviewers stating the battery isn't that great. Let's see if it they're right..my "screen on time" was a little over 5 hours*...
This is mine after a full 100% with auto brightness with moderate to heavy use..
Edit. remember to include "screen on time screenshots" unlike my OP.

After running down the out of the box battery to 20%, gave it a full charge. Since then, sitting at 6.5 hours off battery, 2 hours 1m 46s of screen on, mostly surfing the web, facebook, a handful of texts, using the Moto Display, Wi-Fi on half that time, off the other half, and about 10 pictures, 79% left.

Screen on time is the most important battery stat. Any chance you can edit your OP to include a screenshot of it starting from fully charged?
Yeah please post screen on times when reporting back.
I picked mine up yesterday, got it all setup, and charged over night. I'll be able to report back later this afternoon once it's had some significant uptime. I also have my LG G3 and Moto X 2013 next to me, and I'm trying to keep the usage uniform across all 3 to compare.

Got mine and it was at about 44% out of the box. Ram it down until it shut down and have been having baby use with it since (except for about 7 hours sleeping). And yeah, that is totally a rogue app. Never had problems with it before though. :/

This is comparing a Verizon G3 and Turbo, as well as a T-Mobile Moto X 2013. I've always had issues with the wireless keeping the phones awake, so the battery life isn't what most of you would probably see, but it's still a fair comparison.
DROID Turbo:
LG G3:
Moto X 2013:
So basically it's doing better than the G3 and way better than Moto X 2013. I agree with you though I think the poor Wifi reception is causing the phone to be awake more often or spend more battery maintaining signal. I'm at about 5 hours with 1 hr SOT and 80% battery. Seems reasonable but I thought it'd be better.

That's my conclusion as well, I will run these through the night and I'll have a better comparison, then this weekend will be real world use.
It has something to do with our wireless infrastructure at work that causes devices to stay away 90% of the time, at the end of the work day I'll have 6-7 hours of it being away with very little SOT.
I'm surprised that it's only a slight improvement over the G3 though, I was expecting more.
Still trying to get through my first few cycles. So far this morning my phone is at 90% with only 25 minutes of screen on time. I did run google play music on the drive over here. But still, those are rather terrible battery stats, hoping to get through the first few cycles and get better battery life.

You gotta give it more than the first 10% of one cycle to get an accurate representation. Let us know after the battery is down more.
Still gonna let it get lower before charging again. This is with a full charge. I am coming from the G3 and batt life seems way better on this, but can't tell since not even 1 charge cycle

Exactly, it takes few charging cycles for the battery and the phone to calibrate and maximize the battery life.
Alright here's mine.
Bought yesterday, charged to 100% overnight, used all day at work.
Thus far appears much better than my previous phone, an LG G2, but battery life has never been a problem for me.
Did well in phone arena tests though:

SOT isnt the only thing that shows how a battery is good or not. Like I said, I streamed a lot...with my G3, it would have crapped out long before going a full day, and the battery is only about 20% bigger. I got more than that out of the Turbo. Also note, this was the full first cycle. If you dont know already, the battery will get better after a full cycles. So Im loving it. I only have one true gripe and that is the low call volume, but I know that can be fixed through an update, which I hope they do soon.
I'm very impressed with the screen on time so far on this phone! I am getting on average 7+ hours of SOT which is so much better than any Android phone I have ever used. Anyone else having great battery life on this phone?

This 1% drop overnight was in ultra mode? Or did you leave everything ON and just locked the screen? Because I'm dropping more than 1%, but that's with wifi on. Next night I'm gonna see how it goes in ultra mode overnight.
Battery life is good yes I most often get 6 hours screen on time in 1½-2 days usage.
I am also getting really really good Battery life. 5-6 hours of screen on time with 20% battery remaining. I will post pics later. Last night i took a screen shot and had 3:28mins screen on time with 48% battery left. I am also amazed. some reviews stated battery life was great, but others only average. I can say for certain this is GREAT. I am in the middle power mode. There is so much autonomy on app controls that you can create your own battery life destiny pretty easily. So for so awesome
how you get this great battery time i usually only get between 4-5h of screen on time. Awesome tho for you guys, might be some app i'm using

Impressive. Considering the most I have ever managed for SoT on my S5 is 4-5 hours ands thats with screen brightness turned down quite a bit, cant wait for my s8+ to arrive!!
that makes me so happy. The iphone 6s Plus I had would last all day. The Note 7 I had would last all day. The S7E is almost dead by noon (5-6 hours.) Looks like the S8+ will last me all day again.
Very impressed with the battery life on the little S8 and the S8 Plus.
Considering the former only has a 3000 mAh battery, it lasted surprisingly long.

It's because there were many people who had battery draining bugs on their S7E. Certain apps (out of the box) and certain settings would cause the battery to drain extremely fast.
I know all of this because I went through it and I created a thread on how to fix the issue.
My final results with a Snapdragon S7E were roughly 8 hours SOT.

Looks like I'm projecting to get 5.5-6 SOT on my S8+. Although that is only 30% into the battery, so we'll see.

It's the combination of the 10nm SoC with the 8 cores that does all the difference. Runs cooler and has 4 cores for both light and heavy task to distribute the load. That coupled with the software optimization makes it a battery sipper. If you think that's good wait until you see the pixel 2 with the SD 830. I'm sure it'll be phenomenal.
Quite the opposite experience for me with my S8+. Compared to my iPhone 7 Plus and my S7 Edge that I recently sold the battery is not good at all. I have had the phone for 3 days now and I am consistently ending my workday with less than 40% left on the battery (somewhere around 35%) with only 4.5h of SOT. I can see that there are processes that are draining the battery in the background, for example DeX which I had to force stop. Note that I am not using DeX and have never used it so I don't even know why the service would be running. My version is using the SD835 chip.
mine is amazing
this is my first full charge

TMobile American snap Drago.. pre update (I have bixby button remapped)
Seems pretty on par or a little lower than the S7 edge. I've reached 8+ hours of SOT and an average of over a day and 6-7 hrs of SOT. It's a US SD820 ATT.

With my.use being consistent across my last 3 Galaxy devices. Note 5 s7edge and note 7 I have never gotten anywhere near this... Best I had was 4.5 hours on my note... But the Uber driver app always just eats through my battery.
what screen resolution u guys using?

How is this not good? Your probably around 6 hrs SOT

Full resolution for me in high performance mode. I don't do any of that battery saver crap. If I wanted to have reduced performance I would have not bought a $1000 phone. I only use auto brightness.

I am comparing it to my S7 Edge that was running the same Nougat OS and to my 7 Plus. Both achieve better battery life. I never went home with my S7 Edge with less than 50% battery. iPhone is generally around 65%.
