That left it with 87% in the tank, which is a very impressive result. Starting at 100%, the Exynos 8890-powered S7 dropped just 13% during the video.

I ran the techradar 90-minute full HD video test on the Galaxy S7, with screen brightness on full and the handset connected to Wi-Fi, with accounts syncing in the background. My Real Racing 3 addiction is one example of such pushing, with around 10% of the battery falling away during a 45-minute blast – I did absolutely nail the new Nascar circuits though. If you really push the S7 the battery will start to slide, mainly thanks to the luscious Super AMOLED display.

That makes the S7's effort all the more impressive, as it still performed better than its predecessor. Plus, the always-on screen was, well, always on. More moderate usage, with a bit less gaming but still a fair amount of music streaming, emails and social networking, saw me getting into bed with around 30% still in reserve. With heavy usage, and running some rather intensive benchmarking tests as well as a slug of gaming, music streaming and other activities, the S7 managed to make it from 7am to midnight with around 15% still left in the tank. It won't go two days – it's unlikely to do more than a day and a half at a push – but it's an improvement over the Galaxy S6, and you can be safe in the knowledge it'll make it to bedtime. The big question, though, is: does the Galaxy S7 last a full day on a single charge? I can happily say: absolutely. Meanwhile the North American, Snapdragon 820-powered handset also managed to regain 25% in 15 minutes 50% took around 35 minutes, and it was full in under an hour and a half. That's a decent performance – and 25% in 15 minutes is perfect for a quick blast before you head out for the night.

Things slowed down slightly after that, but I had a fully charged Galaxy S7 an hour and a quarter after it completely ran out of juice.
