It's not a single charge, it's four in three days. The man's a fool.

Dont weep Jack, The key words on the photo are 'on battery' - That implies since it was last charged.

The inactive period is when I am sleeping, Like you should do now and lie down.

Maybe Apple can have something like this in the future Jack.

You can't be serious. The key words are fully and charged, only one of which were involved in those 2 days and 8 hours. It never made a full day without charge which is normal for an old device.

I had 4 days battery life on a single charge on my Note 4 when I first got it when on KitKat and yes it was used during those 4 days. Get 1 day now because it's 2 years old and Marshmallow and Lollipop before it are much more resource hungry than KitKat. Of course I could replace the battery without issue unlike most other manufacturers.

KitKat was the best version of Android so far but to stay current with security you don't have any choice but to use the latest version.

Jack, if you look at the graph, towards the bottom. 2 Days 8 hours... and then it says on Battery, meaning it ran, well 2 days and 8 hours on that charge. - plus about 4 hours left also.

But whatever makes you happy, I will save you any further embarrassment here.

You are serious.

I'll help. On the left of the graph from bottom to top it's marked 0% to 100%, along the bottom is the time of day and the top shows the date. Do you see how sometimes it goes from a lower % to a higher %, that's not magic, that's called charging.

Either your date is wrong or you took this last month bragging to your mates.

Please tell me you understand before we proceed.

That is not charging, its clever technology from Samsung where the CPU can tell when the device should sleep and when it should wake up.

Actually I took this screen shot with my stylus ages ago (19th August if you need to know) as I was indeed impressed and thought it would be useful at times like now.

From the Home screen, touch Apps.



Navigate to Settings > Battery.



The estimated past and predicted usage time is displayed. It also displays the last full charge and the estimated usage time remaining.

I've saved the photo, you should have deleted while you could. This could make you internet famous.

You are already famous here, for the wrong reasons. There is no need for me to delete it, you should spare any further shame on the fanboys and not mention it again.

Maybe the next generation iPhones will last longer on a charge and have fast charge capability or wireless charging.

This is probably too much information for an Apple user to understand, clearly you have no idea if you thought that graph meant 4 charges in 3 days.

Jack should be less worried on how long a Galaxy lasts on a charge (much longer than any iPhone in any event) and more worried on the iPhone 7.

BTW, There is a new phone for diary farmers, thats what iHeard.




speaking of Electric Toothbrushes..

I don't have a Subaru. I've had two and enjoyed them both and will probably pick up another at some point. I'm also still involved in the WRC - although not full time anymore - and have been for at least 8 or 9 years so have great access to Subaru's of the rallying kind. I hope that's enough to enable me to post things you can choose to read or not.

I'm not being malicious with this, I was just wondering if you're another Matt ****. Seeing if your thoughts on mobiles extended to Subaru's too, meaning the UK WRX (Iphone7) is the most powerful car ever made - even if according the rest of the world that is not technically accurate.


If you do end up getting one of these handsets, I hope you enjoy it and it's everything you want it to be.

Fast charging according to Samsung on the S7 edge is 100mins. How is that classes as fast? My iphone 6 charges from 0-100% in just over an hour using an amazon basics £4 lightning cable connected to a laptop usb port.

Just spoke to a friend whose wife has the S7 edge and battery life was good when new but soon detiorated once more apps installed and OS updates. Needs charging every night like every other phone.

That's cool. I don't know who Matt is, I only ever look in here and Non Scooby Related, occasional look elsewhere if something catches my eye. Do I think the iPhone 7 is the most powerful iPhone ever made? Yes.

I use my S7 Edge all day, and still have over 60% when I get home in the evening.


As per your "fast charging"...


The battery on your Iphone 6 has a capacity of 1810 mAh.


The S7 Edge has a 3600 mAh capacity - so in essence double the capacity.


To charge double the capacity in less than double the time I would class as "fast charging".


Also your battery is Li-Po, not Li-Ion - Meaning it will have a lesser energy density too.

No it doesnt In fact from new the batt life is pretty poor as it learns how you use the phone over time and gets progressively better.

Also his wife is hopeless basically, she probably installed some crappy batt hungry apps. My s7e batt life is just as good as its always been. And the regular s7 was nearly as good. I only charge once every 2 days usually and that's with me hammering the phone everyday, so the screen is on for long periods.

Bioforger, that screen you look at for long periods.... is it 4k? I'm pretty sure that must look nice. I'm sure the apple one is just as good.


Oh it's only 720p on the new Iphone? How do you then watch the 4k video the phone can now record?

It's a 5.5" Quad HD Super AMOLED screen (2560 x 1440 pixels), not 4K, but yup it's awesome, best screen on the market bar none. iPhone meh not so much. I have a 6plus for work and its simply not as good or as nice to view.

Yep S7 does 4K vids, but so did the S5 which is 2 generations of model ago.

4K vids are just scaled down to the screen you view them on by the software.

Fret not everyone, it is possible to charge the iPhone7 whilst listening to music on your old headphones. It will only cost you £35 for the privilege of using a new adapter or £49 dock dock, so don't throw away your old fashioned wired headphones just yet. Apple helping other companies to make money, what's not to like

Christ this is turning into internet gold.

That graph quite clearly shows 4 points where the phone has been partially recharged over that period.

We all bow at the power of Apple, but the multi core cpu results show the A10 is still behind the fastest Android processors.

Apple have made mugs of people for a long time and now with the standard ear phone kicked into touch by them they will continue to make mugs of people.

Android might not be the best o/s in the planet but its not:
1 restrictive
2 monopolising
3 outdated
4 basic
5 over priced

Plus everyone reading this post has paid more tax than Apple themselves in the last month.
