[Galaxy S6 General] dehnhaide:
Note 4 --> Galaxy S6 --> iPhone 6 Plus

Sooo... here are my thoughts since I am directly a part of this "Galaxy S6 to iPhone 6 Plus" scenario:

My MAIN problem with the S6 is the battery life which is by all standards abysmal at best. So let me detail my feeling after owning a Note 4 (Snapdragon) for 6 months then switching to S6 for 10 days and eventually to an iPhone 6Plus for 3 days already.

6plus pros over S6:

- Battery life is outstanding. Ditto. Heavy usage (gaming, browsing, photo & filming, photo editing, all sync on on multiple apps, browsing the **** out of everything, etc) is 7 SOT on a charge and 14 hours of standby. A glorious 21 to 24 hours. A day!

- Screen is perfect. Guys, go beyond this market gimmicks and resolution wars! FullHD is, as of today, the best resolution to keep the a balance between what your eyes can actually see in a 5 to 5.7 inch display and the battery drain caused by the display (especially in daylight conditions).

- IOS apps are really well optimized, way more consistent than those on Android and of course more polished!

- Consistent UI, No bloatware, iOS just rocks in terms of simplicity.

- Photography apps are stellar when compared to Android, and I am here referring to those app types that you don't get in Android (e.g Mextures, Distress FX, Superimpose, Glaze, etc)

- Video processing available tools are just "WOW" (when compared to the available ones on Android).

6plus Cons:

- Godzilla sized phone that, because of the aluminum body, can only be handled OK-ish (I have pretty decent sized fingers) when using another "4mm adding width" case.

- The lack of notification light. Apple: **** your "wake up screen" notification system, it's LAME! By the time the phone is in no disturb mode you will miss 110% of your notifications (useful or useless ones).

- IOS is just boring and uninviting. The widgets are ... NO WIDGETS!, The customization is nowhere comparable to Android, you can't download files, .mp3 songs, torrents and all that.

- iOS keyboard put together with SwiftKey usually results in a mess: username can be entered with SwiftKey but the password field can only be filled in with the iOS proprietary keyboard. Bleah!

- Process intercommunication and data sharing among application (specifically moving a processed phone from one specific app to another) is both buggy (see Afterlight) and limited (you cannot share directly from any photo processing app to all the other photo apps).

S6 pros over 6 plus:

- Display is outstanding but nonetheless that resolution for the screen size is overkill (batter and workflow wise) and Adroid apps really make no good use of it (yeah Android, you know... usability!!!)

- OS speed: I never though I was going to say that but the latest update *G920FXXU1AODG* on S6 makes the iOS look like a bloody lazy Windows Phone OS & UI! Really, really fast, no lags at all! Absolutely IMPRESSED!

- Arguably the best camera on the market. iPhone 6 Plus camera is no slouch either (especially in the video department but the 8Mpx senzor it's just not there! Yet!

- 5.1 inch is easier to handle vs 5.5 inch. Correct!

- Exynos SoC built on 14nm offers lots of power BUT it's eventually to much for the battery.

-4K video recording though playing it back home is a PITA: no 4K TV and no 4K player in my courtyard.

- Fast charge. Though iPhone charging via the laptop USB port is way faster!

- Android OS is the customization itself and the WIDGETS are just calling for attention/action on the users behalf.

- Phone design is quite impressive.

S6 cons:

- Battery life is freaking BAD! The standby drain was almost perfect (almost!) in the latest G920FXXU1AODG with a 2-3% drain overnight (8-9 hours of deepsleep).

- The SOT + activity time battery is plain AWFUL! One example: playing 2048 game (lame on resources you know) on an iPhone 6 (not 6 Plus) for 1:40 drained 2% of the battery. On my S6, same daylight conditions, same time playing drained 13% which is plainly unacceptable. This is one thing I insist upon and I know that every Samsung loyalists (still in good faith and good brain condition) would accept is that the power drain while operating the phone (no matter what app you're using... could be just browsing) is just not optimized. It could be the HMP architecture of the Exynos as compared to the hot-plugging in Snapdragon that kills the joy of using this otherwise STUNNING phone.

- Sloooooooooooooooooowwwwww and undocumented updates (most of the time)

- Still bloatware is present but not to the extent it used to be in the past

- Less consistent UI and most of the apps just don't properly scale with the screen resolution which make things both look ugly and affect the apps usability!

That would be all for now on my behalf. Really missing the pocket-ability of my S6, the astonishing camera, the "fast and furious" UI and OS but eventually the battery life just killed it for me. I am a heavy smartphone user and as such I hate constantly peeping at my battery and fearing it dead by the end of the day!

I just home that either uncle Sammy or other enthusiastic developers around (hat's off for KTOOSNEZ) will be able to solve the BATTERY-GATE affair and I, personally, will get back to S6.
