I use adaptive display :)

Me too. I notice the colors change a bit going from home screen to chrome and back. Any particular reason why you go with Adaptive Display?

What are the advantages of the other ones? Any one that is battery saving? lol

Adaptive display. Normally I would choose basic but on the S6e this has a yellow cast to whites. So I choose adaptive instead.

TBH...it was how it came and I haven't had a need to change it. :)

Its been posted several time. But most of us are getting all day and then some for battery life.

I managed to get 2 full days on battery this weekend (forgot to turn charger on at bedtime - so went 1 day 23 hrs 58 mins before next charge, it was down to 10% with just over 2hrs SOT for that duration. So not bad for nearly 2 days off charge, but it is weird I can't seem to get much over 3.5-4hrs SOT in just 1 day ....

Yeah I am pretty maxed out at 4 hours SOT as far as battery life goes. The S6 does seem so much better at conserving battery life while on standby though.

My typical day is between 1 to two hours SOT on workdays. I've gotten 4 hours and 15 min of SOT with over 16 hours stand by in Day. It had 13% left. Not bad for a 2550 battery. My Nexus 5 and its 2300 battery didn't come close to that with SOT.
I have Wi-Fi calling turned off and location turned off.

Samsung UK have a few variants available. I also got a £30 shopping voucher with the phone. (Wireless charger is £34 :p )

Again they are creating articles based on xda posters threads. The poster on this one is looking fishy. A lot of his story isn't adding up such as claiming to have rooted and yet then posted a video and Knox hadn't been tripped. There's too many discrepancies ....

TMobile releasing a 5.1.1 rom for one device and before even Google has actually rolled it out to any mobile phone device. If it's too good to bs true.... it usually is.
