Yes, SGS3 battery is bigger, but the screen is bigger two, 4 cores of CPU and a more power hungry GPU, then Smart Stay eye tracking will be using front camera, that should drain battery as well...
So bigger battery could serve the extra changes from SGS2 and SGS3 would probably stay out of wires or induction charging for the same time as SGS2?
What do you say?
MicroSIM - does it use less power than SIM?
Its actually kinda useless when it comes to discussion like this as no one has the phone in their hands yet. Filling the pages with speculation and assumption will simply set a good/bad reputation to the mobile itself.
Id like to see this thread come alive after the release
cheers
i was getting 30-40 hours out of my gs2 running stock at&t. i would think the gs3 would do the same even with the added goodness. but even with the induction charging... i would imagine we will still need an extra battery or wired charger plugged in. there will always be times when the battery gets low and have to be charged while using it.
The photo I've seen looks like a mini sim, not micro sim.
No idea how the battery would be but the Samsung HK-MG 32nm process looks very promising, based on it's implementation in the iPad2,4 revision. More info:
http://www.androidnz.net/2012/05/samsung-galaxy-s3-secrets-revealed.html
Don't think the "camera tracking" will take up much power either, they could probably just make due with a snapshot every 5 minutes(or when it would normally go into standby) or so and do facial recognition.
I was hoping for a battery close to the RAZR MAXX
Now that the battery is 2100, then i'm hoping that users will be able to control all new features. By that i mean turn them on and off. I really don't care for the many new features that Samsung has come up with. If it was possible I would replace Samsung's modified Android version with a Out of the box version like on Galaxy Nexus. Personally i was hoping that Motorola soon would come out with a new Quad Core phone with their 3300 battery.
Currently the one S with a 2x battery ap holds a decent amount battery battery with smart use of connection and other features by default, so I would have thought that it would work nicely on the bigger sg3. However I'm planning to have a 2nd battery handy and not worry about running out at any point.
sent with HTC1S
I'm hoping for an extended battery that adds a little to the phone. Maybe a 2750 or even 3300. Also to the gut who said Motorola one with quad. Don't, Motorola is terrible with their lies about bootloaders abd updating.
Samsung does a pretty good job at power management, I think battery life will be good especially with that 2100 Mah battery and the fact that the SoC is based on 32nm so less power used. We should be able to get a full day pretty easily.

It could be a problem with batteries made by 3rd parties, as the original SGS3 battery has NFC antenna inside

I have VERY BAD fealings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DfoKoDYD7c&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Look at that review: Battery life goes from 92% to 84%...
That means quite nothing (We don't know what they do in cutted frames)... but in my mind I am quite sure that battery life will be even shorter than my LG Optimus 2x (16h with push notific and so on..)

It's over a period of 30 minutes, which seems to suggest an approximate battery lifetime of around 5-6 hours with the display on.
This is not really a bad thing but simply due to powering such a large display, but really most phones seem to get around 5-7 hours these days.
The Galaxy Nexus have the same "problem", but as I recall the Nexus also had some of the best idle/no display battery lifetime i.e. Only taxing antennas and processors.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5310/samsung-galaxy-nexus-ice-cream-sandwich-review/14
See the battery lifetime for the gsm version during talk or hotspot sharing the Nexus easily have some of the best performance there.

in Moscow there is some mobile analytic(Eldar Murtazin). He using engineering sample of SGS3 for 2 or 3 month. And he noticed, that the battery enough for 10-12 hours of active use, when compared with SGS2 - 5-6 hours, his words
google translate
Much work has been done in terms of energy efficiency, battery 2100 mAh, and the device works like my day with a fairly thick load. What will happen in the commercial samples, I can not judge, more importantly, that time has grown and it is noticeable to the eye. On the other hand, to take advantage of this, it is necessary to disable all of the additional and not very necessary function. They are in the unit, in the opinion of the average user, it became much more.

First of all: thank you very much for this news!
As I said: The same old story!
I like to be able to choose whether or not activate a function.. BUT WHY Samsung put it there?

If it makes you all feel any better I had the one x and even with the retail firmware 1.26 I was getting 12-16 hours with 2-3 hours screen on time with a crap 2g signal using internet regular and with really light use well over a day that was 1800mah battery

I bought myself and my wife a TB on launch day (yes I love being a guinea pig), and there are no 4G covered areas anywhere near here (all 3G). Both phones were properly charged after being activated and before being tested. My own phone was unplugged yesterday morning when I arrived at work at around 7:30 am and it finally died at midnight with light to moderate use (some phone calls, texting, web surfing, downloading apps, one hour of listening to music with double twist app and jogging with cardio trainer app)., Today my phone has been unplugged for five and a half hours and it's down to 80%. My wife is getting about the same battery life from her TB.
We knew from earlier reports that this phone lasted only about four hours running 4G LTE, and even WiMax running on Evo gave it terrible battery life, so I'm not entirely surprised that there are are still problems with this phone regarding battery life and 4G. I am almost relieved that I don't live in an area that has 4G at the moment.
Just to clear the air, I'm hoping that other TB owners who do not live in a 4G area will share their experiences with battery life so we know that this is mainly a 4G issue and not entirely a TB issue, and hopefully if that is the case, we can get a push for a 4G toggle until this issue is resolved.
Same here
I am getting better battery life out of this phone than I was on my Eris on GSB 2.0. I am very surprised. I use WiFi at home and that seems to really help but out in 3g....it really is quite good. I haven't had it in a 4g area so I can't compare but I have no complaints.
Even in a 4G area you can turn off LTE and get better battery life. I made a shortcut to the phone setting using anycut.apk to make a short cut to phone info. Got this from another thread on the forum. Works great.
My battery lasted 12 hours yesterday with what I would consider heavy use. An hour of gaming, 2 hours of pandora, about an hour of voice calls and checking facebook throughout the day. I'm very pleased with battery life. I was on wifi most of that time though and there is no 4g in my area.

Not very sure how to do that..can you explain how i can do this ..Thanks
Happy with battery life so far
So far my experience has been quite favorable. I have been using my phone quite a bit, navigator, text, browsing, games, fm radio (we really like that) and frankly the gloom and doom reports fortunately haven't come true for me. I am easily seeing 9+ hours.
I have had a couple of nasty freeze-ups while on the phone. The first one sent the phone on its own reboot, the second required the battery to be pulled (good night that is a challenge) since the screen and the buttons became unresponsive. I will have to watch that - a phone has to work as a phone or well, it is a mini tablet instead of a phone.
first full charge last night, off the charging this morning, after 10 hours of uptime unplugged, which included a few phone calls, facebooking, playing around for about 30-45 mins on games, i was still at 81%.
This is far better battery life than my evo ever was(until i rooted it and had CM7, was getting 3 days a charge then.) And if it says anything, it isn't rooted yet(working on that now) so I am very happy and impressed with the phone so far...
and as for a previous post. I was unaware that you could turn off 4G/LTE at all. My understanding was it was always on no matter what.
Agreed. When the TB is not switching from 3g to 4g. Battery is good

He is running a custom rom that likely dramatically governs the processor and other power factors. It was the primary reason I rooted my Incredible as the custom kernel I got had me go from 10% at the end of a 16 hr day in standby to about 80% remaining. So I could totally see 3days of light to no use from the EVO with a custom ROM.

yeah that is pretty much it.
CM7 is very very light, and also had SetCPU to down clock the processor to 245Mhz anytime the screen was off. It was also on the stock battery too. I have no idea what I could have gotten with an extended battery. That 3 days wasn't practical, but I made it happen non the less to shove it in a friend of mines face who kept his iPhone 4. I had an iPhone 4 and left it for the Evo, and he got mad about it.

if you look at the bottom you can see the screen was very seldom on, I always had wifi off, gps off, and 4G off. Phone was still at like 9% i think to when I took that screen shot. I could have gone longer but my phone is my alarm clock and I had to be up the next morning and needed to go to bed. Stupid jobs and having to work. haha.
After a couple of charge cycles I must say that I am very satisfied with the battery life on my Thunderbolt. I was at work the other day for 12 hours and the phone was at 35 percent when I left.
I agree. The Evo has terrible battery life out of the box but with CM7 and proper tweaks for it's settings, you can get pretty good battery life, even using a stock battery.
Considering that the battery for TB is a lot better out of the box than the Evo, at least for those in non-4G areas, I can only imagine how great it will be running CM7

the only thing that bothers me about it, and someone please chime in if I have no idea what I am talking about, is after pulling up quadrant and just looking at the info for my system, it showed my processor on my TB as running at 245Mhz at that moment, and capable of running at 1024Mhz.
I could be wrong but I thought the evo ran at 998Mhz right out the box and didn't change clock speeds.
So if this is the reason why battery life has been so much better out of the box, hopefully we can still make a gigantic improvement.
http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/11/3012990/htc-evo-4g-lte-review
I can't see how the battery life can be worse than the One X (I guess radio connection to a poor sprint network could effect it), but the verge said they had a tough time making it through the day.
Normally it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but sice we can't replace this battery I am a little worried.
Still waiting for the main tech sites to give reviews with battery tests.
dont listen to reviewers on websites about battery. they are morons who use the phone for 2 days with brightness all the way up. bluetooth on, wireless on, 3g on, and gps on and with no sleep timer on the screen.
This was an interesting review, I wonder why his pictures turned out like garbage when all the other reviews have great pictures, it's almost like there is a giant fingerprint on the lens or something. Either way, not that good of a review. I hope the battery life is better than stated.

I didn't always listen to reviewers about battery life, but they were spot on about the Evo 3D. When I bought it I thought "they don't know what they are talking about'". Turns out I wanted the new phone to be good so badly I ignored the truth.

A quote from SlashGear's review of the EVO 4g LTE (http://www.slashgear.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-review-11227839/):
"The battery life here is pretty excellent, just like the HTC One X on AT&T and the HTC One S on T-Mobile, you’ve got the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 backing your whole system up with its ability to stay strong without draining the life out of your day via the battery. Count on this device to last you what it’s lasted us, that being 10+ hours a pop with heavy use, no problem. If you’re the type of person who only uses a device lightly during the day, don’t worry about charging it up except at night when you head to bed – always a good practice anyway."
Every review will hold differently, it's all subjective to how much they are running the phone, what their expectations are, and many other factors.
I don't expect battery life to be great but I do expect it to be on par with the Evo 3D..I'm not worried but I'm in my truck the whole day for work and don't really care much either..My battery never sees anything below 70% lol.
I stare at one of these bad boys all day.

But yeah the review said he listen to the radio tru the network so thats a big drain right there when I stream music tru the evo for one hour battery is at 15% so means nothing really still amaze he listen to 40 mins and still got 8 hrs thats a big for me.
every site have their own way to review device..All of them post different thing about battery life so dont listen to them..Just listen to your xda fellow member when device available on sprint..
Yeah battery life is not a concern to me because I know that xda will fix any battery life problems REAL quick. Come one guys, my EVO 4G got some of the worst battery life imaginable and then I join XDA and manage to achieve 64 hours before I need to charge my phone (average maybe 40 - 50). No concerns here.
I'm not worried about it at all. The Evo 3d had better battery life than the 4g, and I'm expecting the Evo LTE to have slightly better battery life than the 3d. I would not trust most of the Evo LTE reviews on battery because they're not spending very much time with the device, and they're probably not using settings that would conserve battery life.

But considering all the things the reviewer did, I'm a little surprised:
The One X has great battery life, so the fact that the Evo has an even larger 2,000mAh battery than its sibling (and no LTE to worry about) gave me great hope for its longevity. Unfortunately, I found that even getting a full day from the Evo took some finesse. Consider: I unplugged the phone at 4:15am, used it a bit on the way to the airport, turned it off on the plane until about 9, then streamed music through Rdio for about 40 minutes and did some browsing and tweeting from the device, with brightness at about 40 percent. By noon, I was down to 25 percent battery. We're running our official test now for more comparable results, but though in practice you should be able to get a full day's use from the phone with some battery TLC (and a lower brightness setting), I'm still a little underwhelmed with its performance.

First off its cdma which uses more battery then gsm least from my understanding and sounds like he was in some areas with no signal and all cdma phones drain hard when you have low to no signal also maybe what the app he was using for music had a mem leak or something reviews are diff everywhere like everyone said who's gonna have 3g GPS Bluetooth and GPS and WiFi on all day no one lol

Hey guys,
Some of you might've seen this on the N7000 threads,
This is to confirm that the same battery is sold to Canada on Ebay, and it works pretty well on the i717.
The battery is called the "3030mAH High Capacity Gold Battery"

I do not have the test results yet from Battery Monitor Widget, because I don't really know how to do a full MAh test. Maybe someone can enlighten me on this.
Through everyday use however, it does seem to give me an extra 10-15% on the battery (which is around one hour for me).
For those who are interested, order it from this Ebayer:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/270942481442?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Ps. The Charger is SLOW though, I usually use it on the other batteries overnight.

I have this one and t he 3080 one. Both work ok- not much more lasting than stock. I get 35% by end of the day remaining with moderate use, push email, 10 widgets, and 14 alarms.
I have the 3000mah version from these guys and these are just 2500mah batteries repackaged. I thought that I was getting more battery life too at first, that's mostly because you are trying to justify the purchase subconsciously, but they aren't any bigger and are actually lighter than the stock battery
They do seem like good quality batteries, just not any longer lasting than stock unfortunately.
If it were possible to get a longer lasting battery in this phone that was the same size as the 2500mah one you can be assured Samsung would be selling it as an accessory for $50, people would gladly pay for it... Samsung wouldn't miss out on making extra money on accessories...

If it truly is a larger battery then it should take at least 30 minutes longer (using the 1 amp wall charger) to charge from dead to full.... But I found that my charge times didn't change any appreciable amount, so the capacity isn't any different...
Here is some times taken when i first received the battery.

No not yet, haven't found the procedure to measure actual mAH in the battery yet. I have tried charging to 100% and draining it to 1%, but it doesn't show the information automatically.

It doesn't take any longer to charge from empty than the stock battery does, so Its not any larger. My charge times were within 10 minutes of each other when comparing to stock.
Ebay batteries that are the exact same dimensions as stock but claim to deliver more capacity than the stock battery are pretty much always lying about capacity. Its all marketing. If the battery was heavier than stock I might say it could deliver more capacity, but they are usually lighter.
There is an app on the market called battery drain...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...fender&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
Be careful using this, it will drain the battery VERY fast, potentially heating up the battery to beyond safe temparatures. DONT SELECT EVERY OPTION!!!
Here are the options you can select to have it do all at once.
-Turns on Permanent Vibration
-Enables Wifi Send Data
-Constantly Max Loads CPU
-Sets Screen Brightness to Maximum
-Enables GPS Location Services and Constantly asks Device to Refresh Position
-Turns on Camera Flash
-Turns on Bluetooth and Constantly Scans for New Devices
I would also grab battery monitor widget pro by 3C (the paid version is $4) or another battery app that has detailed logging.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ult#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNjYzcxLmJtdy5wcm8iXQ..
Consistency is the key, what I would do is power down the phone and let the battery completely charge (use the volume rockers to turn the screen occasionally to see the battery charge level, its fully charged when there is a 100% shown inside the green battery).
Set the battery logging app and the battery drain apps either on the lockscreen if you have something like widget locker or set them on the first homescreen that appears on an initial boot so you can access them quickly.
Then unplug the phone, note the current time (open the clock on your PC for seconds), power the phone up, wait a set amount of time (say 1 minute from when you initially turn the phone on) and launch the battery drain app, turn on maybe 4-5 of the options (dont use all of them, you dont want to damage the battery), say max screen brightness, camera flash, wifi, bluetooth, & GPS and wait til the battery dies and note the time when it dies (shouldnt take more than 1 hour).
You can test each battery this way (make sure you pick the same options in the battery drain app) and if you have an app doing battery logging, you can pull up the stats after the phone dies and you plug in the charger to reboot it.
Its also key that nothing changes (dont install any new apps or remove any apps) between testing. What most testers do is factory reset the phone, leave all the settings at stock and install only the apps they need for testing. This might be a bit extreme, the key tho is to have consistency.
Using both batteries and testing them in this fashion would give more information rather than anecdotal. However, I can understand that it is a time consuming process.

It's just a basic test but here it is
1 45min Episode of Star Trek TNG Note 2 10% battery Drain Effective 1% drain per 4.5 Min
1 45 Min Episode of Star Trek TNG DNA 17% Battery Drain Effective 1% Drain per 2.6 Min
Both are using Cell Network not wifi.
DNA was set to auto brightness
Note 2 Full brightness
Too bad TNG is not in HD so that extra power consumption on the DNA would be put to good use.
Haha!
But it still gives you an idea on media playback.
I would say this is typical when camparing a phone with 3100 mah and one with 2000 mah

Let's be realistic, no one's buying the DNA for fantastic battery life. But you'll notice it's much closer to the N2 in web browsing. AMOLED does better than LCD on dark content (video) while the reverse is true on light content (browsing).

It doesn't matter. The browser test is done over Wi-Fi and the video playback test is using looped local content. Here's how they test and what the endurance number means.
The web browsing test is performed using an automated script which reloads a webpage every ten seconds. There are no flash elements on the web pages, so the playing field is even. The brightness of the phones' displays is set to 50% and we use a Wireless N router placed a few meters away to get full connectivity bars.
In our video playback test we measure how long it takes for a device to run its fully charged battery down to 10%, while looping a standard-definition video. We stop at 10% since most devices shut their video players at this point. The display is again set to 50%, and all radios on the device are switched off (Airplane mode).
Finally, our overall longevity rating gives you an idea of how much battery backup you can get on a single charge. A score of 40h means that you'll need to fully charge once every 40 hours if you do one hour of 3G calls, one hour of video playback and one hour of web browsing daily. Essentially, it's an aggregated and normalized score, which factors in the three mentioned tests along with the real-life standby power consumption, which we also measure.
Here's what they said about LTE.
The HTC Droid DNA has pretty efficient standby, which helped it score an endurance rating of 49 hours (that’s the time between charges if you do an hour each of calling, browsing and watching videos). While we would have liked to see a bigger battery in a phone the size of the HTC Droid DNA, it turns out that 2,020mAh are quite enough to keep the beast going. Just keep in mind that taking advantage of that fast 4G LTE connectivity will add further strain on the battery.
Things could be much worse though...
Note 2 - 3100mAh Battery - 10% loss means 310mAh was used during that time.
DNA/Butterfly - 2020mAh Battery - 17% loss means 340mAh was used.
IMO ... not much difference keeping in mind the better screen of the DNA/Butterfly ... I would vote for HTC here

But it's kind of like comparing a Toyota Corolla that gets 27MPG with a range of 343 miles to a tank to a Land Cruiser that gets 18MPG but has a range of 442 miles. The Corolla's great if you you can refuel somewhere along those 343 miles if you're going on a 442 mile trip. And since recharging phones is a nominal expense more is always going to be better. And being able to swap batteries is even better than that. But when the consequence is running out of gas any phone with a small-ish non-removable battery's efficiency only gets it so far. Obviously not an issue for light users or people that can top-up frequently. I had a Teg3 One X with a battery only 11% smaller than the DNA's so I've lived the dream.
Agreed .... What I can state from my experience with phones is that HTC's Quality/Aesthetics is the nearest that can be achieved on Android when compared to iOS (Again IMO, dont flame) ... And the way I see is that if I can carry extra battery in the pocket, I can carry a portable charger as well ... Would not have traded-in the slim figure of the Butterfly with thicker one just to increase little battery capacity.
And these have been my phones in past 3 months (no particular order) ...
HTC Butterfly (Current, Non-LTE)
iPhone 5 (LTE)
Galaxy S3 (LTE/Non-LTE both)
Note 2 (LTE)
Xperia V (LTE)
HTC One X+ (non-LTE)
...
The one thing I don't understand is why HTC doesn't learn and increase the battery size. They focus on efficiency which is really good. AFter 8 hours of standby my DNA lost 1% battery. But when you use the dna for video and on screen time it just drains too fast. It needs a bigger battery. HTC keeps sticking small batteries in 4.8+ Inch phones.

What is too fast? I consistently see 12-14 hour days out of a charge with lots of screen time and music, even with a couple vids thrown in there too.

Here's some updated figures
Note 2 with Power saving mode on lost 5-6% Battery life
DNA still 17%.
I'd expect between 10-15 hours of life on power saving mode just watching movies on netflix.
While the DNA will be dead within 4-5 hours.
That's the big difference. On screen time consumes the most energy and that's where the dna is lacking in battery size and it shows.
I really see no point to this thread. The note 2 has a gigantic battery, the DNA has average/slightly above average, of course the note will have better battery life. Anyone who is surprised by that needs to get tested.
The DNA still has above average battery life. Its not lacking in any way, it just doesn't have a monster battery size.

If you wouldn't change the meaning of my words that'd be nice.
I said battery life, not battery capicity. Yes the mah is a little on the low side, but the screen and processor are more efficient than just about any others out there. Which makes for good battery life.

Not really. The only difference between S4 Pro and S4 is two additional cores which, when under load, draws more power. Likewise for the additional pixels and the need for a more powerful GPU to push them. Whether for the DNA or any other device people's satisfaction with battery life depends on the size of the battery and how much energy what they typically do in a day requires. So an individual can’t say “battery life is good;” only that it’s good for them. I lived with a 1,800 mAh battery on a One X and was fine with it because I carried battery boosters around. But I would never have recommended it to someone that battery life was important to. And it's not like HTC has to use smaller batteries, other phones on the list are as thin or thinner. At least with a 2,300 mAh battery the M7 forum won't be littered with "it's fine - no it isn't" battery discussions like all of HTC's other recent phones.
"At present, this is the same Krait CPU as what we've seen in MSM8960 in phones like the USA versions of the Galaxy S 3 and HTC One X."

Yes, the s4 pro has 2 more cores, which allows it to complete any given task faster and allow it to get back to idling quicker. And it is a 28 nm processor, which is more efficient than the note 2's 32 nm processor, which is the main focus of this thread.
Also, the DNA has a super LCD 3 display, which is super efficient.
The battery life on the DNA is on par with the gs3.
If people use their phone enough to be able to complain about battery life on their DNA than they should of known that they would of needed either a note 2 or a RAZR maxx.

HTC could have easily put a 3100mah battery in the phone, my point is that they always lack on battery size and capacity.
I just got my Note 7 yesterday and so far I'm pretty happy with the battery life. It's a great improvement compared to my previous phone (iPhone 6+), though I'm still figuring out on things to do to make the battery last longer.
if you want the maximum battery life, then disable animations in the dev settings (look around to learn how to get there if you don't know. only saying it cause you said you came from iPhone and thus idk what knowledge you have on android lol).
Um, also use minimalist wallpapers with a dominate black aspect.. (as in, use a wallpaper that is mostly pure black, since with AMOLED screens, true black means the 'pixels' are turned off completely, thus saving you a tiny tiny bit in battery). Also just don't use live wallpapers in general.
Ummmmmmmmmm..... oh, don't keep the phone at 100% alot. I'm kind of a hypocrite with that one though. I keep mine around 100% all the time because I never know when I'll randomly be out of the house for the majority of the day. thus having a 'full' battery means possibly an extra 30 minutes to an hour of 'usage'. But this also means that the battery will not last as long later on during its life. It also produces its most stable power delivery around the 83-85% area, so that's where you get the best 'bang for your percentage' so to speak. You'll notice it stays in the 83-85% range alot longer than it does at any other percentage.
But all in all, just keep the brightness down to a reasonable level, don't install apps that constantly run in then background (for example, I recently started using a podcast app called Pocket Cast, and ever since installing it, my battery % at the end of the day is generally 60% less than usual. As in, i normally can end my work day with about 78% battery remaining during an 8 hour shift, but after using this app, i'll be lucky to make it out with 10-20% battery. It seems to hog the battery when you're using it as well as when you're not. So at this point, I'd highly NOT recommend using it, even though its such a pleasure to use. Wow this was a long side note haha.), don't use the phone if its hot or cold, and idk I mean, everything I've listed is pretty much everyday basic things. So I doubt you are someone who doesn't already know these things XD

Thank you for the very informative reply, i have been switching back and forth from iOS to Android (eversince the first iPhone the first Xperia X10)
It is indeed an awesome switch for me this year, i hated my iPhone 6+ and the more i use the note 7 the more i like it. Given that it isn't "perfect", it's keeping me satisfied so far.
Let them tips coming

Well the biggest tip I can give is this: GET A GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR.... if you don't, you will regret it within weeks. The "Gorilla Glass 5" screen is complete crap. It scratches easier than plastic screens.... most Gorilla Glass phones have a hardness of around 5, but the Note 7 is only a 2-3. Some people have their phones scratching at level 2, others level 3... level 3 is just slightly better than plastic, and level 2 is worse than plastic... So get proper screen protector for the front, probably one that is good to be used with a case if you plan on getting a case as well. I'll personally be getting a DBrand skin for the phone and a screen protector from a company called Myrax? I think that's what it is. lemme go check.
Myriann is who makes it =3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JFHA16G/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=KYMJDORDQX1V&coliid=I2ELMRA3UAHQMC&psc=1 and here's the link to its page. lol.
I thought the TGSP for the "edge" type phone is a hit and miss. I mostly read bad reviews about them and i think i only saw around 5 good reviews (or posts here) out of like 50 reviews
Have had mine for around 24 hours now and after a good charge after buying it, I got around 6.5hrs of SoT. Pretty happy with that. Only gonna get better haha.

Move from 6s Plus to Note7, I'm not really happy with Note7 battery life. But I think it will improve in next two week. I aslo need UVable kernel to make phone cooler as I did on Note5

Will updating affect the "rootability" of the phone?
First run (52-0) I got 4hrs SOT during initial set up.
2nd most present run I got 6hrs 26mins (8% left) within 15hrs of usage, although I played Pokemon Go for 3hrs on max brightness which did some pretty hefty damage.
For those who want max battery life, this is what I've learned in my limited time:
- Download (buy) Package Disabler Pro (PDP) and disable the bloatware
- Disable the unnecessary sensor stuff throughout the settings app
- If you dont use Always On Display, disable it
- Disable Auto Brightness, and use the minimum brightness manually
- If you play Pokemon Go, download "Battery Saver for Go", it turns the display off when idle
- Enable MID Battery Saver mode with unchanged resolution, enabled Limit Performance, and disabled Prevent background network (if you stream or need it, otherwise enable it). Set max brightness to 80%
---- Be sure to re-enable Device Maintenence in PDP to get customisable power savings back.
- If you want, use the BLACKEST theme you can. I personally dont like any of them, so i kept to Samsungs stock theme
- DONT USE FB OR FB MESSENGER, TWITTER, INSTAGRAM etc. Use the web versions
- DONT USE CHROME. Samsungs Stock browser takes time to get used to, but its much more battery friendly
Without me playing Pokemon Go, I could have easily pushed for 7hrs SOT++ which is damn impressive for having the brightness at 80%.
