What apps that are heavy on the battery even in background tasks? Can you remove those built in apps like xbox app( I dont have an xbox), groove music( since i use spotify app)? In windows 10 desktop you can remove those build in apps in command prompt. If yes I might get this tommorrow..
You can't remove xbox or groove music but you can set whether they are allowed to run in the background. Honestly the xbox app is great and if you have a lot of games a good place to go and run them instead of pinning them. I pin all my games into a single folder. I have 34 games in my live folder. I just tap it and it expands with all my games. Everyone does things differently. And xbox live uses your MS account so it's nice to login to games using it. You can then challenge your friends and see your achievements and even build an avatar. It's actually an interesting app and the future is more promising as today you can stream games from xbox one to the pc using xbox app, in the future I believe the goal is to be able to stream it to phone from xbox and your pc.
Anyways, the if you buy a unit now it will likely have the latest firmware, and my battery lasts pretty long. It will only get better as MS has shown that builds consistently helped battery out. There is absolutely no doubt that as you use the phone and updates come things will get better. MS apps are constantly seeing updates too. So if battery is your only issue, it really won't be a big deal. In fact, you can just use it for a while and return it. I believe here if you buy from the store you have 30 days to return it. With fast charge you don't need to even dedicate that much time to charging it. It really does charge super fast.
