I find that hard to believe, with that usage you would be looking at 6-7 hours SoT
The Galaxy S6 just can't do that unless you're doing something very specific.
However it was both true and accurate.
Sorry but there's no way that's possible with normal usage on the S6 Edge...
Yup it wasnt normal at all for me to only use 60 odd minutes of my phone in 12 hours but the numbers were correct.
I've disabled about a hundred packages with package disabler and have non of the usual social features on at all.

I was struggling to get anything over 2 hours SoT. I've tried uninstalling pretty much all of my apps in the last week with no increase in SoT.
Yesterday I started experimenting with google sync settings and thats made quite a big difference
Go into Google Photos and go into settings, and disable Backup & Sync
Exit and go into android settings, accounts, google account and disable sync on the following
Google Fit
Google photos
Google photos backup
Google play music
Its given me nearly an extra hour SoT, be interested to see if it benefits anyone else
Phone does randomly reboots itself around once a day so may also have a hardware issue

Thank you.
Why didn't you by a Nokia 7310 then?
Because I like the internet and youtube on my phone.
I think I'll be buying an S6 tomorrow, my S4 has given up the ghost and won't recognise a sim card, now its just a question of S6, Edge or Edge+, I'll be having to buy SIM free (9 months left on contract) so either way the CC is going to have to take a hammering, might stick with the S6 for now, then upgrade my contract to an S7 when they come out (If worth it) and sell on the 6.
Where would be the cheapest place to grab an unlocked SIM Free S6?

In what way did you find it horrible to use?
uncomfortable for long calls, mic easily blocked, awful to write emails on as edges get touched by accident making it flip out.
I'm sure it would be resolved with a good case, but I shouldn't have to, never had this issue with any other phone ever, so it's going back and i'll pick up a note 4 for 400 quid

The standard Galaxy S6 is slippery and awkward to use, first thing I did was find a case just to give it some grip so I could hold it normally.
Edge just makes things even worse.

This is all relative and dependent upon the size of your hands. I like the fact that its slippery, choosing a clear view cover to enable me to slide it in and out of my pocket quite easily.
Don't like them, they add bulk and look and feel cheap.
Personal preference though, we're all different.
