So far for me, no Android phone can match the insane battery life on my Mate 8. I could easily hit 9-10 hours SOT on mainly LTE on 80+% internet based stuffs. Though its battery capacity 4000 mAh is only about 23-33% bigger than most other Androids, its battery usage is close to double. And best of all the phone remains cool under intensive usage.

I brought this phone with me to Taipei recently and on wifi 24/7 , the battery only dip 4% over 3 days of standby. In the background, I still receive mail, newsfeed, tweeter, whatsapp notifications. I only started to use the phone on the 4th day. I was using the LG V10 as my main phone most of the time due to its superb camera ( best amongst all the Android phones I had ever used

I am looking forward to assess how the S7 Edge will fare against the LG V10 and Mate 8

Too bad Kirin chipset = no kernel source = virtually no development... sweat.gif

Still remember how broken CM is on the Honor 6 due to a lack of kernel source of the chipset... sweat.gif

I just wanna see someone using the phone in seawater.

Erm - you are not supposed to use it in seawater. I think the water resistance rating only applies to fresh water... hmm.gif

No good. It's like admitting it's true that the phone is getting slower as we use it.

No - that doesn't proof anything at all. icon_idea.gif

Really dissapointed with Touchwiz if it need to restart to make it fast  mad.gif
I have used HTC Sense, Huawei EMUI, Xiaomi MIUI. None of them require restart to be smooth.
HTC Sense being the smoothest of all.

Still cannot beat Nova launcher or Sony's near stock UI though icon_idea.gif

Yup - but I heard that benny888 managed to send two Knox-tripped phones to warranty unsure.gif

In before Exynos gets more development than the Snapdragon ones icon_idea.gif

Strangely - the Exynos ones gets TWRP but the Snapdragons didn't get? rclxub.gif

Any brave souls who want to offer their S7? brows.gif

Samsung always put that Duos for dual SIM phone. It is really unnecessary.

The model branding never appear in country others than USA.

Aiya just put a case and hide them lo whistling.gif

Why need to complain on such small matters whistling.gif

Still isn't half bad when compared to how the major US carriers ruin an Android phone though icon_idea.gif

I was imagine what if a Samsung Phone front got:
- Top Front Facing Speaker
- Samsung Branding
- Screen
- Recent + Home Button (Fingerprint) + Back
- Bottom Front Facing Speaker

That was fugly doh.gif

Yup - unless they throw out the home button and go with on screen buttons icon_idea.gif

N.B. note the HTC 10 leaked design icon_idea.gif

I think they want to remind you that you have a dual SIM phone - but yeah that decision looks kinda weird and sometimes awful sweat.gif
