Title: As the title suggests, I&#x27;m in the market for a new smartphone and the sole thing I care about is battery life. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, I unplug it at 08:00 with 100% and find by 10:00-12:00 the battery is already significantly drained ~50-70% remaining. 
It&#x27;s quite unacceptable and I can honestly say if I don&#x27;t charge it throughout the day it will die around 15:00-16:00.<p>I&#x27;ve had the device for two years and what I&#x27;ve learned most is that I&#x27;m NOT buying another Samsung. The amount of irremovable bloatware, including the f*cking Facebook app I NEVER use is irritating. Something with a microSD card slot would be nice, removable battery too, obviously it&#x27;d be cool to have a fingerprint scanner but it&#x27;s definitely not necessary.<p>I would love to hear what the HN crowd recommends, I&#x27;m willing to do a lot (i.e. ditch the phone contract, purchase from Amazon&#x2F;Ebay etc.) to ensure I have a good lasting phone I&#x27;m not going to regret in 3 months.
