I don't know how many charge cycles mine has but I probably charge it 1.5 times per day on average.

Ikr, when I still lived at home my parents would complain about my pc ( not that power hungry at all, like 350 w under load ) using too much electricity.  I mean no I t can't be any worse than the FOUR 4k tv's we had that doubled as space heaters and prob drew a t least x2 the power of  my pc. 

When living with parents, everything is your fault. I remember when we had a dodgy iron that kept tripping the fuse and switching off all the electricity. I didn't know what it was so I complain about it to my mum.

 

Obviously her answer was that it was my devil PC. With a spanking new top of the line 1000w EVGA T2 PSU and a surge protector, if anything my PC is the least likely thing that's gonna burn the house down compared to all the other shit quality electronics my parents have. And when we found out it was the iron ... THEY STILL CARRIED ON USING IT FOR THREE MORE ELECTRICAL FAILURES WTF! Cheapskate idiots, buy a new iron! (Which they then did, after I was tempted to use it to bludgeon them to death).

On android there should be an equivalent to "battery life" on the play store

Love how my pc heats up my room 

literally 

[Bhav]

Oh and also my dad already kind of stfu about the electric when I pointed out his thermostat and raging hot radiators in June. 'IT HAS TO BE AT LEAST 18 DEGREES!' ... Actually no, 16 is perfectly tolerable if you wear more clothes. I on the other hand have to spend winter with no clothes on and my window open too.

 

Oh right, then last month in July, my dad complains about my permanent wide open window being the cause of all the moths in the house ... While there are no moths in my room because the curtains are closed? Parent logic, always blame the offspring.

 

(Yes he actually wanted me to shut my window in June / July while his fucking thermostat is on 18-20c .... I wanted to give him the middle finger and open every window in the house everyday).

The official battery thing built into android doesn't track that. I'm sure there is a third party one that does, but I try not to bloat up my phone. 

 

This isn't my image, but here is what it looks like:

Why did you get a phone that is big enough to club someone with?

(Silly people and their giant phablets...)

 

Seriously why can't people realize that a phone is NOT supposed to have a screen almost as large as a small tablet?  ?

FML, I am computer noob and failure of the Interwebz now:

 

 

My tablet browser has gone super slow atm and kept failing at posting the thread. I was so ashamed I reported myself to a moderator.

 

Wait, I mean MSI forums are noob because they force users to use the first part of their email addys as their usernames. Or I'm extra noob for not yet figuring out how to change it.

Because some people want something they can still (mostly) use in one hand and is big so it's easy to read and looks nice. Also the 6s+ is massive for a phone with a 5.5" screen, there are phones with 5.7" screens that are smaller.

Then they should get a cheap tablet (Android I guess since iPads are pricey.)

 

My problem is that people want to be able to have a larger screen than makes sense on a handheld device.  It's like they're saying "I want it to be super light and portable but I want a movie theater size screen."  Those things don't go together.  They're mutually exclusive.  

 

Basically: you want a portable phone?  Great use a normal size phone.  

You want a larger screen?  Go home and use your computer.  

 

Seriously does no one with a giant phablet phone realize how stupid it looks to hold this giant thing up to their head and talk into a brick?

 

Not to mention that a phone around the size of a 6s+ is definitely NOT pocket sized. 

Personally I find a phone I can't fit in my pocket to be 100% useless.

 

Sorry for the rant.  I just really hate giant phones.  lol

No, it's okay, I know what you're coming from. And TBH, the 6+/6s+ are kinda crappy phablets. But the thing is, once you've used an android phablet, it's hard to go back. Trust me. I thought the iPhone plus models were huge, but I totally got it when my friend's brother showed me his Note 4. Just give it a shot. If you like it, you like it. If you don't, you don't. Personally I like big screens but I can live with a smaller one.
