Just got Nougat. It's nice. I've had it on my S8. My battery has always been good. Maybe, with this, it will be even better?
Yeah, I will eventually try it. I have just such a bad year with my Note 5 that I am afraid to try much more than I have already done. I am running a debloated ROM on my Note 5 now and most days, I get the best battery life I have ever gotten on the phone, about 2.5-3.5 hrs screen time. That's amazing for my Note 5 so I'm reluctant to ruin that. Some days, I still get random battery drains and I just want to throw the phone through the wall.

That's too bad. On a good day, I get close to double that (2.5, ie). We'll see how Nougat affects things. However, since I have the S8, I'm probably not keeping my Note 5. In the fall, I'll definitely get the Note 8.
