So 15 days after replacing my Galaxy S6 original battery with S7 Edge one<\/a>, I have gathered some stats, that might give you an idea just how much improvement you can expect.<\/p>\n

So I am using GSam Battery Monitor<\/a> to track my battery life.<\/p>\n

Just for some context – here is a screenshot from just before I did the mod:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can see that\u00a0the averages per complete charge show a very degraded battery – just bellow 17 hours on average with just 1h 38m of SOT.<\/p>\n

After I\u00a0put the S7 Edge battery, the first day, my phone died just after 30h of usage:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This was a busy day, so\u00a0only 2h48m SOT, however about 4 hours of Spotify listening over bluetooth.<\/p>\n

After the holidays came, I began using the phone very heavily, so\u00a0my averages became very different.<\/p>\n

Here I have some heavy Christmas redditing and browsing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After New Years’ Eve, although my averages were much lower, because of heavy usage and frequent charging, I am very confident that the battery is calibrated and performing as expected. Here is a day with about 1 hour of navigation, almost 4 hours of Spotify streaming over Bluetooth, a little bit of Reddit and Facebook + half an hour of calls.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So in conclusion –\u00a0I am really happy with my battery life now – we are all looking forward to the graphene battery breakthrough, that will bring \u00a010000 mAh to smartphones, but until then – I am sticking with my Galaxy S6. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

EDIT 18.06.2017:<\/strong><\/em> After a little bit over half an year, I am using my phone heavier than ever and haven’t noticed any substantial degradation in the battery life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My Averages Per Complete Charge<\/strong> are very low, but that’s expected since I am using my phone with it’s screen constantly turned on during the day, sitting at wireless charger, streaming Spotify over bluetooth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
