I think you must have me mixed up with someone else. I have no problem discussing flaws in any OS. The problems arise when people try and use their own definition of what counts as a flaw and imposes it on other people. For instance, syncing with iTunes is a big plus to me as it means I don't have to manually mess on with files and folders; I just press 'sync' and it's all done automatically.

Probably due to chrome's shitty optimization on Android. It's a well-known problem that google hasn't fixed yet.
Try other browsers, or use a Samsung tablet. Their stock browser is the fastest.
Ok, but are there apps that give universal adblocking? Like ad blocking in apps? Or ad blocking in stock browser so I don't lose fingerprint login?
Here, from AT's review
http://www.anandtech.com/show/9146/the-samsung-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge-review/3
S6 does worse in both web browsing tests, despite the fact that it has a more efficient amoled screen and a bigger battery.
Dave, it's not a night and day difference, I capitalized the word worse because I was trying to make a point to our high IQ crusader here about how Android is not even close to being optimized. Throw an LCD screen on the S6 and an 1800 mah battery, and you're lucky if you can get 3 or 4 hours out of it.
kek...
Almost all benchmarks place the S6 higher than the iPhone 6. Also, battery capacity doesn't scale linearly with battery life. It's more like a logarithmic function. There are diminishing returns.

Yes, take a review from an iPhone fanatic as the truth, even when every single other review site lists the S6 ahead of both iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
topkek... Also, you forget there are Android phones with lower battery capacity than the iPhone 6 Plus but use LCD that get better battery life.
Anandtech isn't a reliable review site. Their results are in opposition to more reliable review sites like DisplayMate for the display color accuracy measurements.
Most of Anandtech's article is shilling for Apple. I've noticed in the Galaxy S6 review part 1, they used the chrome browser to test for benchmarks when everyone knows chrome is badly optimized. Then in a later review where they get far less viewers, they added benchmarks for the stock browser. Disgusting...

Yea, by throttling itself... lol
Then why are you on this site? Go away.
All processors throttle during heavy gameplay, but none of the benchmarks tested battery life under gaming. They were all video play back, web browsing, or call-time, or a combination of those 3.
Impossible to escape Apple's influence on the media, which is another scummy tactic by Apple that I didn't mention before.
Anandtech and other review sites have to shill for Apple so they don't miss out on getting pre-release Apple devices.
It's not. There are diminishing returns. Think of a log function with the y-axis as battery life and x-axis as battery capacity.
The iPhone 6 Plus with 2,940 mAH battery having worse battery than 2,400-2,600 mAH Android phones prove that iOS isn't optimized or efficient as Apple fanatics think it is. The lower battery capacity combined with the lower resolution as well as the higher derivative on a lower battery capacity gave the illusion of efficiency. Considering the maximum battery size on a phone like the iPhone 6 is 3,000 mAH, having a 1,800 mAH battery would give you most of the possible battery life. Raising it to 3,000 won't really raise battery life all that much except in standby.
In my opinion, GSMArena has the most accurate/real-world battery life measurements. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus both have the same usage statistics (Web-browsing, video play-back,). The 6 Plus just has slightly better standby time, giving it a slightly better endurance rating.

So why are you posting here if you think AnandTech is the devil incarnate and inherently biased toward Apple? Gotta love hypocrisy -- you're giving business to the site you supposedly hate.
Also, "every single other review site?" Once again, you need to drop the hyperbole.
http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/02/samsung-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge-review/ (8h 49m of video versus the iPhone's 10h 19m)
http://www.theverge.com/2015/3/31/8317743/samsung-galaxy-s6-edge-review ("worse" than the iPhone 6)
For a start.
Way to list 2 other Apple shilling sites.
GSMArena, Tweakers, and PhoneArena all disagree with you, and all 3 sites are the least biased.
Okay lets see, name one 5.5" or bigger Android device, with an LCD screen and a battery that is less than 3000 mah, that has better battery life than the iPhone 6 Plus.
It's funny because you won't find one.
Hell, I'll even let you pick an AMOLED device, and you still won't find one that meets that criteria.
Why does it need to be 5.5" or more?
Go look at Huawei's P8 with a mere 2,600 mAH with an LCD screen and it stomps the iPhone 6 Plus.
I know it must hurt to find out how bad iOS truly is. Apple screwed up by releasing the iPhone 6 Plus, imo. It gave all us Android fanatics solid proof that iOS is worse than Android. There's no more speculation. No more hypotheticals. We have solid proof now. The Apple illusion of efficiency is gone (As well as their myth of good build quality. Bendgate, anyone?).

The point is that you said "every single other review site" said the GS6 lasted longer on battery. You lied, or at best made a broad, unsupported statement.
Also, it's hilarious that you call them "Apple shilling sites" at the same time as they're giving the GS6 high marks overall. Anything to avoid questioning your preconceptions. No, these results can't be legitimate variances, the GS6 must always be better in every way!
Good grief, the very premise of this thread was that the rivalry between Apple and Samsung has progressed beyond the black-and-white, "my side must destroy yours" rhetoric that led the two companies to fight so bitterly for a few years. You're trying to drag it back there while most of us have moved on to rational, nuanced points of view.

You can't have it both ways. You said Android is by far the best optimized. When I give an example of why it isn't, then all of a sudden Chrome doesn't count, even though it is Android's default browser, and written by the creators of Android.
But on the Nexus 7, it's not just Chrome. It's everything in Lollipop. If Android really were that well optimized, it wouldn't require me to switch to another more advanced tablet to get a more pleasant surfing experience. Remember, the Nexus 7 was Google's flagship tablet.

No it means using the machine without horrible choppiness and long delays.
Just try to use a Nexus 7 with 1 GB RAM running Lollipop. It's extremely irritating to use.
An iPad 2 with 512 MB RAM with iOS 8 is also irritating to use, but much less irritating than the Nexus 7 with 1 GB RAM running Lollipop, despite the fact the iPad 2 is an older machine with half the RAM.

For the case of the Nexus 7 original, the problem is Asus cheaped out and used very slow NAND. Other devices that have 1GB of RAM are much more useable (I do not say fast) than the N7 (2012) for that reason.
This isn't really a case of Android being optimized or not but rather what happens when a manufacturer doesn't build a device to be balanced. Apple generally does a good job with that (except for the RAM).
