hence, theory vs real life
No always ideal to carry, but I picked up one of these and it worked great during hunting season to keep my tablet and phone charged while in the woods all day. Its about the size of the phone. Its rated #1 and only $12

Considering the fact that I can usually get 24 to 36 hours out of a charge, I'd say that's feasible.
I'm gonna stick with my Sony. Zero problems, 2 day battery life is what I see (not quite as fast charging, but 60% easy in 30min), 32gigs internal memory plus SD slot. I still haven't tested the waterproofness of it, but it feels tighter than any phone I've used. I'll find out when summer rolls around and I'm fishing/canoeing more

I'll admit, I'm a sony phanboi of sorts. Not to the point I won't switch away though
S6 does not seem to be going in the correct direction for me though.... No waterproof, and no memory card, no interchangeable battery...... Those are huge points for me. I've always liked the S-series. and I love how I can share media with all my S-series and Galaxy Tabs, etc.
But if I'm having to give up a feature..... I'd rather get a waterproof, sd card, and battery option than a quick share. I can drag and drop onto a computer and to another device if I need to....
Battery is the most important to me. I don't know what it is about schools, but as soon as I walk into one, I go from 4g to 3g(and sometimes 1x and no service depending on the school) Then the phone searches for 4g and kills my battery. I need to have the ability to interchange my batteries.
Waterproof. My s4 is not, but I have a case that makes it water proof.... I'm sure the S6 would have cases available for that feature as well, though.
Sounds like I may just upgrade to an s5 and keep that until the s7 comes out where they will hopefully will have addressed my concerns. It doesn't seem I'm the only one that is having those concerns.

The Sony has a nifty "Stamina Mode" and I've seen as much as 60hrs before
is that where you stick a straw in the charging port and swipe it over a line of blow?
The phone is all glass for a reason bro
Is that with the phone still able to Tx/Rx?The Sony has a nifty "Stamina Mode" and I've seen as much as 60hrs before
My iphlop4 gets 2.5-3 days out of a charge regularly, not on airplane mode.

so sell me on the Sony. Anything new coming in the next 2 months that you'd get if you were up for contract renewal and money wasn't an option.The Sony has a nifty "Stamina Mode" and I've seen as much as 60hrs before
Waterproof?

Yep, it basically turns off everything but calls/txt. You can fine tune it to your needs as well.
Probably not. Only thing it doesn't have that you would like is a removable battery, but so far the battery works like a charm. By far the best I've seen. Wife has the S5 and it'll outlast hers easily. Before I decided on the Sony Z3 I compared all the big names and it was just as good or better in most categories. It hasn't had any glitches either.
It does what I need it to
