I agree fanbois are annoying. Love that reply when someone asks for help and some fanboi's all like "Get an Android!!!"

But the test is legit, I am sure. The standard "run a video on a loop over wifi and see how long the battery lasts". So it's an intense test.
Oh so THAT'S what that graph was about.
I'd have never guessed the phone with the largest screen had the shortest battery life in an "intense" test that involved video playback on said screen.

Something is definitely wrong!
I charged my 6+ last night and unplugged it at 100% when I went to bed... (I use it as a secondary alarm)
I woke up 9 hours later and it was still at 100%. There must be something wrong... don't see how a phone can spend 9 hours on standby without using a single percent of battery.

LOL Right?

Why do you unplug it over night? It doesn't hurt the battery to keep it plugged in when it's charged.
And here's the iPhone 6 and 6+ utterly destroying the Galaxy S5 in every single performance metric except for multithreaded tests, where the S5 just barely manages to eek out a victory. The S5 also managed an extra 23 minutes of browsing over wifi. iPhone 6 and 6 Plus: In deep with Apple

I'm just balancing the Apple bias that appears to be rampant in this section.
And what do you expect? Apple phones are running on a basic, restricted operating system. If they had all of the features and functionality of Android phones, they'd most likely get similar scores to something from two years ago. Besides, Galaxy phones are buried under a cumbersome UI overlay. Show me the iPhone 6 beating the OnePlus One or upcoming Nexus 6 and maybe you'll prove something. Oh wait no, you wouldn't be because the Android phone will be able to do all of the things at once on one screen with multiple windows. Can iPhones have multiple windows at once? Tell me, can they?
