If the S8 battery is similar, as loyal as I've tried to be with that series, they're going to lose me going forward. Feel like I've been a battery life slave with every Galaxy S model I've had, tired of it...but the 8 just looks so sexy! That's how they get me
I'm LOVING my s8 so far. I too came from the S6 Edge and I was hesitant to go with a samsung device due to the poor battery performance. The S8 has been absolutely awesome compared to the S6. I rarely need to charge at all throughout the day. A few times I had 70% at the END OF THE DAY (on days that I didn't stream radio)!!! Needless to say, this is still shocking for me coming from an S6. The battery manager tells me that I should expect around 18hrs between charges based on my usage.

The Gear VR uses up a LOT of battery. There are many tweaks that you can do to improve battery life.
