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.
This much detail is too much for Apple fanboys to understand.
The volumetric density of the batteries in the note 5 or galaxy s7 is vastly increased over what battery is on the apple iphone 6, thats why that battery can charge in an hour and a half or whatever.
Doesn't android actually require more battery power ?
A QHD display certainly does.
The battery power graph i showed did indeed have partial charges. But from day to day usage i only need to charge it every couple of days.
Circa 18hours currently left and 15 hours since charge.
If i turned on the power saving this will increase to well over 20 hours remaining.
For a phablet with QHD display and using wifi that seems good to me.
Actually looked at the battery indicator.
19 hours left with power saving activated and 42 hours with ultra power saving mode.15 hours 56 minutes since full charge.

The graph shows your phone would struggle to make 24 hours, it also shows heavy power drain overnight which is not good. You dug your own grave with that picture and would be best off keeping quiet.
Some of my recent s7e batt stats showing that 2 days+ of uptime is very easily achievable, for this particular screeny I only had 1 hr screen on time, but you can see from the averages at the bottom a lot more screen on time is possible with similar uptimes. No intermediary charges took place, the GSAM app doesn't consolidate them. Comparing my stats to other s7e users, my results are average as I use a lot of batt sapping social media apps too.

Back in the real world mine lasts a day after 2 years and I use it heavily, full time tracking via location services and pretty much daily Strava rides.

Apple have turned you into a spaced out troll Jack.
About 34 hours of use before a recharge, thats with pretty heavy usage.
I can turn on bare essentials (ultra power mode) and get another 39 hours but would miss out on seeing your pathetic posts here then.

full time tracking via location services, is this something new on Apple.
Google has this and its pretty standard to be turned on all devices, I could turn off my location and probably gain a few more hours, or just turn on any of the 2 power saving modes.
look at it this way, the new iPhone 7 lasts ~2 hours longer than the old model, thats with the same small battery and small res screen to contend with.
so much less demanding than say a galaxy note 5 or galaxy s7 with far more resources to deal with, the latter can last for days longer with power modes activated.
maybe the clever guys at Apple turned off location services to gain 2 hours.

You seriously think I'm going to take anything you say about batteries with anything but a pinch of salt? First you spouted on about how great Samsung batteries were... then they had to recall the batteries as they set fire or were about to. Next you showed us and your mates a graph that showed average usage and duration for a mobile battery and claimed it was three times better. Find another trumpet to blow.

No it's not new at all. There are many apps you can try if you'd like, I use Moves and Strava. The biggest difference is Apple are unlikely to sell the data where Google do. Remember "if you're not paying for the product, you are the product"

I since corrected data in my earlier graph. Besides i boxed you into another corner with a new battery run time graph above and ridiculed your nonsense that i would struggle to get 24 hours usage
Apple, like you are pathetic.
For anyone not spaced out like Jack. Some of The Exynos cores on the Galaxy cpu are optimised for power saving.
Unlike Apple ; Samsung wont insult your intelligence by flogging you a device that has 2 hours improved run time over a previous model, they will however flog off bluetooth headphones at over 150 quid a pop.
Besides the iphones themselves are about as interesting to look at as loaves of bread.
Iphone 4,5,6,7... Zzzzz
There is a reason just 20% of the worlds population use them, they probably have the same mindset as Jack here.

My, its like the clock has been rolled back a few years
Going back to the original points about wireless headphones. I think it's safe to say looking at comments on Apple forums(not scoobynet), this has not been appreciated as an innovation. Costs, sound quality and practicality are the main concerns but also wastage of existing headphones if you were to fully adopt Apple's design.
For me it fails the function over form requirements. Regarding the 7 it's another Apple, slightly better than the last iteration

its pretty clear Apple had one thing in mind regarding bluetooth headphones.
profit from sales of said headphones.
The phone itself would increase a few dollars in cost due to the bluetooth hardware required but Apple will hope that will be offset by idiots buying headphones.
like I said its not like any number of companies could not implement a bluetooth device up to now, they just dont want to rip off customers.
Classic Apple in fact.
Its a shame really, if Apple changed the way they operated I would consider buying some of their stuff.
If you look at mobile phones over the last number of years its all the android ones that look most interesting and exciting. Apple iPhones just are boring and dont excite.
It is astonishing that a company whose offices are swimming around in money cant come up with some more exciting products.
The fact that everyone on this forum is paying more tax that them in the last week at work doesnt sit very well with me either.
The fastest Smartphone chip ever! As declared by the producer of the graphs you're so proud of. That's now such a huge gap in performance that there's doubt's that Qualcomm can ever recover. I can tell by your child like posts that that's burning you.
The first Headphone chip, the W1, it opens so many new doors, a true innovation that took courage to implement. Apple didn't just remove the 100 year old audio jack they reinvented headphones.

The last paragraph is true, every year they make the iPhone better, must be infuriating when you're trying to keep up.

idiots like you will further line Apples pockets with sales of bluetooth headphones.
The Snapdragon 821 is out soon, Android devices packed with that will shame the specification of the iPhone 7.
like this:-
[The ZenFone 3 Deluxe stands up to its name with a sprawling spec sheet that also includes a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED 1080p resolution screen, 6GB of LPDDR4 RAM, 256GB of fast UFS 2.0 storage memory, a 23MP Sony IMX318 camera (with OIS, laser autofocus, and RGB color sensor) and an 8MP front camera. Powered by a 3000mAh battery and featuring Qualcomm Fast Charging 3.0 support, the smartphone runs Android 6.0.1 skinned with ASUS' Zen UI 3.0. It also features dual-SIM connectivity and a fingerprint scanner.]
I am waiting on some comments on the battery performance, bio forger and myself have summed up how poor Apple devices are with battery life and they have a much weaker display to contend with.
If Apple spent more time on optimising battery resources (maybe utilising extra cores like Samsung do) rather than removing audio jacks, then maybe they could flog off products that would have better than 2 hours run time over previous models
The last paragraph is true, every year they make the iPhone better, must be infuriating when you're trying to keep up.
unbelievable, you need help Jack.
if they make they iPhone better why have sales in 2016 been terrible (by Apple standards).
Apple are behind the times on technology.
years, the next iPhone probably will have some form of edge to edge display, all glass body, faster charging, bigger battery, larger diaplay...

Look Toffee I know you like graphs so here's one for you. You keep saying how your battery is great based on a graph you couldn't read so maybe this one will make things easier. Personally I don't think these graphs are worth anyone's time but I know you love them. This is the 6s by the way so you can add a good hour or so.
Tell you what Jack, you've missed a trick in this thread in not mentioning that the wonderful Qualcomm chips that make these phones so fast are the same ones responsible for a massive security vulnerability in Android.

you do know the recent generation Android phones are in the 21st century regarding display and specifications.
Thats why the iphone lasts so long, but its not a like for like comparison., also if you have any understanding on batteries you can see that the Apple iPhone 6 takes far longer to charge despite having a much smaller battery than on the Galaxy S7, or indeed my Note 5. This was explained by another poster also but Apple fanboys dont have any idea on this stuff.
Apple users are content living in the stone age regarding specifications.
besides you can increase battery run time on the Note 5, Galaxy S7 and Note 7 with the power modes as explained here a few times.
too much for you to digest this obviously.

I'm sure your specs are useful for something, but it's not performance and that's what counts for me. Pub talk maybe.
I'm sure your few extra pixels are great too, not that the human eye could tell, but I'm sure they're useful. Probably not as useful as a pressure sensitive screen, you know that great innovation from Apple.
