We never know what to believe. This says 2 hours less and this other article says the same. Of course I guess it depends on what you are testing but 2 hours is a big difference.

OK . Nice Chart .
So if I am on Tmobile with an S6 at about 20 to 30% screen brightness, I would be able to Browse on LTE for over 8 hours ?
In Real World User Reports, we are rarely able to match these sort of Feats, even with Notifications, Location Sync OFF.
