But you may need more than 1 day, and thats fine The HTC One M9 lasts me about a day. My typical day starts at 9am and ends at 5pm. When I get home, I still have 15% to spare usually. I don't think the Galaxy S6 is any better than this. Whoa, is note 4 on a different level? I unplug at 8am, listen to audiobook most of the day and when I leave work around 7 I still have 65%.
Unless you're using a battery pack, I don't believe you.
Post screenshots or it didn't happen.

Which one was your old HTC? HTC has come a long way since then, you will surely like the HTC One M9, the best designed smartphone ever. Only fanboys buy the iPhone 6/Galaxy S6.

65 is what I had of that posting after work, listened to audiobook about 3 hours, handful of calls. Not sure how to prove, there's an app that tracks it? It's 3am now, earlier post was bit after 7 and now I have 46%. Maybe 30 minutes of hearthstone and no other major usuage from last post.
I'm not a heavy user as mentioned from a previous post perhaps that's why. Overall the most noticeable and impressive about note 4 was battery life for me. Compared to my previous phones where it needed charging by night time, sub 30%.

Most people said that the HTC One M8 had the best design ever, hence the HTC One M9 should have the best design since HTC didn't change the design.

Everything is an opinion. But when most people are saying that the HTC One M8 has the best design for a smartphone, that becomes consensus.

Can someone please tell me the major advantages of the Edge??? Just for seeing notifications and for a couple of additional menu options on the side I don't think it adds much. It does look nice though, I have to agree

i dunno if this explains anything rofl
i listened to audiobook most of today during work
+ Show Spoiler +
as someone else said, how a person uses the phone will vary alot, i can only compare with my previous phones rather than someone else's experience so i'm impressed to see 60% at the end of work. i never listened to audiobook/music long periods like i do these days though.

You guys are arguing with a low post-count guy with 50% of his posts (if not more) spend talking about HTC phones in a thread concerning the Samsung Galaxy S6... Now going out on a limb here I'm not certain he is entirely objective.

I'm guessing 6:30ish is when you played hearthstone lol. Not checking your phone every 5 minutes for a new text or whatever (by turning on the screen) makes a huge difference. Simply running your screen brightness a couple notches lower can also make a huge difference. That's how someone can connect to wifi all day and listen to an audio book without hitting the battery too hard. If I had to guess with previous phones you weren't as busy and spent more time using it with the screen on. Of course the galaxy 4 is also pretty highly rated for battery life also.
That being said advancements in how backlighting (or AMOLED) lighting works/draws power the impacts they have may change. For instance with AMOLED darker colors take less light from all the individual pixels so they take less power. So the same brightness settings could result in different battery life simply because of the colors of their backgrounds.

What app is that? That doesn't look like the battery settings in Android.

You guys are arguing with a low post-count guy with 50% of his posts (if not more) spend talking about HTC phones in a thread concerning the Samsung Galaxy S6... Now going out on a limb here I'm not certain he is entirely objective.
I try my best to be objective. HTC struggled in the past but now they are returning to their former glory.
The HTC One M8 was the best designed smartphone of 2014 according to many reviews. It won many awards from a lot of reputable institutions. The HTC One M9 follows the design of the HTC One M8 with major improvements.

But you may need more than 1 day, and thats fine The HTC One M9 lasts me about a day. My typical day starts at 9am and ends at 5pm. When I get home, I still have 15% to spare usually. I don't think the Galaxy S6 is any better than this. Whoa, is note 4 on a different level? I unplug at 8am, listen to audiobook most of the day and when I leave work around 7 I still have 65%. Unless you're using a battery pack, I don't believe you. Post screenshots or it didn't happen. 65 is what I had of that posting after work, listened to audiobook about 3 hours, handful of calls. Not sure how to prove, there's an app that tracks it? It's 3am now, earlier post was bit after 7 and now I have 46%. Maybe 30 minutes of hearthstone and no other major usuage from last post. I'm not a heavy user as mentioned from a previous post perhaps that's why. Overall the most noticeable and impressive about note 4 was battery life for me. Compared to my previous phones where it needed charging by night time, sub 30%. Post your SOT by going into battery usage/settings.

I'm guessing 6:30ish is when you played hearthstone lol. Not checking your phone every 5 minutes for a new text or whatever (by turning on the screen) makes a huge difference. Simply running your screen brightness a couple notches lower can also make a huge difference. That's how someone can connect to wifi all day and listen to an audio book without hitting the battery too hard. If I had to guess with previous phones you weren't as busy and spent more time using it with the screen on. Of course the galaxy 4 is also pretty highly rated for battery life also. That being said advancements in how backlighting (or AMOLED) lighting works/draws power the impacts they have may change. For instance with AMOLED darker colors take less light from all the individual pixels so they take less power. So the same brightness settings could result in different battery life simply because of the colors of their backgrounds.
AMOLED sucks tbh. It's Samsung's excuse for looking high tech but really it's just another version of LED.

No app, straight from note 4 settings menu

How is your post count 0?
OP said the curved screen bit is a huge hit because the Chinese can't rip it off. But it will only be a matter of time, seeing how fast the development cycle is for smartphones.
IMO the edges are worthless $100 gimmicks. Have fun looking for a case too. If you drop it and the screen cracks, it's going to be a little more inconvenient than cracking the screen of the regular S6.
Man, that Apotek clown/shill/troll really pissed me off with their weasel words garbage. "Most people" this and "many reviews" that. If he wasn't banned I'd drop him with a single "[citation needed]".
