Samsung S6 Edge, Nexus 6 or HTC M9+

The s6 is fairly good in regards to battery life. I'm getting 5ish hours plus SOT every day. Unless I hammer a film, or a load of video. Even then, quick charge charges it back to 100% in an hour and a half. :D
 
I've seen so many fixed reviews, some people get good results, others are pretty meh. Either way if it had the same battery size as the S5 it would be even better.

HTC was quite minimal when Sense 5 came out. 6 was fine. 7... they seem to be adding it up again :(.

Motorola on the other hand is pretty much near stock, there are some Motorola extra but not as much and I feel they do enhance the user experience in the right way.
 
I've used all the brands. None is worse than the other. Google android in general has been dull and uneventfully since jellybean. Material design was winter sting for 5 minutes. Now Google overload their software too. Who the **** uses Google calendar, music etc etc. All bloat
 
I always go for phones that are easily unlocked rooted and can be loaded with a cfw, buying an android and just sticking with what you're told is pointless you may as well bend over for apple
 
The Galaxy S6 and Edge would be the best option.

Not sure why you're even considering the other two devices, Nexus 6 is last generation and the HTC One M9+ might as well be last generation with the hardware it's packing.

Realistic SOT would be around 3-4 hours based on personal usage and reviews, I don't want to get into a discussion but about battery life but 5 hours SOT is not a realistic expectation for new users on the Galaxy S6 Edge.

Pardon? I get 5 hours screen on time pretty much everyday. Granted, the most I do is browse Facebook and the Internet for most of it. I still get a good SOT though :) happy with that.
 
I also get 5+ hours sot, I've disabled loads of apps and processes with package disabler and don't use any social apps, my battery seems to last longer than my s4 did with its new Anker or original Samsung battery. I don't game.

As to lag my phones as fast or faster opening stuff than my mates htc's or apples having put the transitions and animations to .5.

Same for everything except I game a little and listen to music a lot while I commute, but I only get 3-4 hours max.

Never seen 5 hours SOT on my device and probably never will, unless I fake results but I don't have time for that.

It helps that pretty much ALL the reviews also state 3-4 hours, for me it's Google apps draining battery and there is no fix for that.

I'm at 66% with 2 hours 17 min screen on at this moment screen has taken 36% with phone radio at 50% of total used, I've had poor reception a couple of places this morning, that sot is all browsing too which takes more power than video.

Stats off Gsam.
 
I wouldn't get any of them. At least not yet. The new Motorola phones are being announced tomorrow and the new nexus phones later in the year (October I think?) so I personally would wait for those to come out.

Spec wise I wouldn't be concerned these days, all the flagship phones are overpowered for android so you won't have a bad experience with any of them.

Meaningless information, I could leave my phone looping video for 10 hours and come back with amazing battery life.

But I know it would be a lie and I would never find the time as I need my phone.

ignored the motto phones due to terrible software and ugly phones. but with sony, htc and samsung all releasing turds recently i'm interested to see what motto come up with (and lg early next year) (as long as they stay away from the stock android look)

As I said it's all browsing on 17% with 5 hours sot now just as I get most days, I doubt I could leave my phone looping vid for 10 hours I guess I'd get about 6 hours sot as vid doesn't take as much effort as browsing.

Just browsing the Galaxy S6 can do 10 hours SoT, video looping it's 12 hours believe it or not.

These two things are not that intensive unless Google services drains extra just for the fun of it. :D
