I hadnt jumped on a s6 as I dont normally adopt new stuff right away just to see if there are issues or whatnot but my girlfriend and I are wanting to upgrade from our s3's so I had some random questions from anyone who has one.

1- We both have a s3 and I was curious how the battery life of the s6 was. I know you cant access the battery and I know aps you have running, what you do with it and so on greatly change each persons experince with battery life but I was curious if "on average" it was better, worse, or comparable to a s3. I looked in our s3's and they have 2100mah and the s6 has 2500mah but I didnt know if all the newer hardware ruined the life.

2- Is there a way to hard reset the phone? Maybe 1 or 2 times during the 2 years I had an s3 I had to remove the battery due to my phone locking up hard and the fact I cant do so on the s6 makes me worry a bit.

3- Are there any glaring problems with the phone that we should wait for them to get fixed or patched?

Thanks
 
1) aparently battery life isn't great but I don't know how it compares to the s3.s6 has a slightly bigger battery but a lot more display pixels to push so screen on time will be pretty low I'd say.
2) on most Android phones, holding in Power button for around 10 seconds forces a reboot (try it on your s3) and this is "hard wired" so even if the whole UI freezes you can still reboot.
3) not that ive heard of. It seems to be pretty solid
