    How long should a Samsung S6 battery last?
    hong
    over 1 year ago
    The S6 battery pack is smaller than previous models so Samsung could create a slimmer phone, while concentrating on design over functionality. For moderate usage, the Galaxy S6 battery life will last around 17 hours off one charge.

    Is Samsung S6 waterproof phone?
    lesley.hodkiewicz
    over 1 year ago
    It's water resistant and shock proof You don't want to get the normal S6 wet, but the S6 Active can be submerged in a meter of water for up to 30 minutes and walk away just fine.

Striking curved design makes this the S6 to crave

The Galaxy S6's edgier sibling adds a stunning wraparound screen. If you have the cash, it's worth the steeper cost.
