Samsung S6

[Snifferdog3]

Hello! I've been wandering if I should get a used Samsung s6 (my lg G3 broke the other day) the only thing holding me back is the appalling battery!! 2550mAH on a QHD screen!? I use my phone quite alot during the day, mostly use apps like Instagram, Strava etc... I also watch YouTube a bit, don't usually play games but occasionally I play a few low demanding games, will this phone be able to do from 9am - 3pm under moderate usage? If not then I guess I will get something like the lg g4 or g5 (g4 is risky) also don't want to spend more than £120. thanks for any help

throw in new battery, it is not expensive and you have 1 year of day to day usage with decent battery time, I have s8 for a year now, I am really a power user and it degrated to at this point, that I consider it worth upgrading

It is very difficult to replace the battery in an S6 because it is sealed shut with glass.

Yeah It would cost alot to get another battery as it's sealed as JB said, unless I did it myself (nope) also the s8 has a 3000mAH battery so it would last a whole day.

in poland s8 battery with warranty in samsung's center is around 90$, if I had s6 - which is not water proof, and most certainly without warranty, I would do this on my own or give it to some third party service for way less

I would suggest this phone in that price range instead of dated s6. S2 has better battery, dual camera and comes with Android Oreo.
