The Galaxy S6 devices are more powerful and feature-rich than their predecessor, but lose some valuable storage options.

The battery does NOT last 3 to 5 years, they barely last two. The smartphone batteries have a typical cycle count of 500 or so before it has serious charging issues, and since you have to charge it every day (sometimes multiple times per day), it's very easy to reach a point where the battery will no longer charge well before a typical 2 year agreement is up. Then if you're outside the US and get the phone on full retail, you're out of luck even more because you won't get a good value. People buy the iPhone because it's Apple and are willing to give up function for better form, but I am not one of those people. Add to that the reduced capacity of the battery on this phone and it's just not going to last long enough. You pay the price in "premium" design that way, much like apples iPhone or mac book line. The bottom line is when the battery is not user replaceable the only way to get one is to pay MORE money for a someone else to do it, compared with a simple battery swap it will never be "cheap"Seriously people like to complain all the time.. what if it's integrated battery? Apple has been doing it and they sell and I'm sure when the time is right and you'll need to replace the s6 battery (3-5+ years) they'll be cheap replacement solutions. Samsung is a step ahead now with the s6.
I would like to take a vote of how many people actually have a 2 year old phone they are using. My guess is very few to none,nso why complain about a battery going out in 2 years when u will just buy the s7 in 1 year, really have some common sence and read what ur writing.
