          my note 4 would last between 7-8 hours of video playback with all radio functions switched off. If the S7 manages too do better then it could exceed that number by 3 hours the most because of it's smaller displayx and efficient processor.

You have seen the S5 kinda fail in waterproofing if the back case not properly in place and the port not properly closed. They following Sony footstep.

                Bob, 30 Jan 2016Seventeen hours of video playback at max brightness is not ... moreNothing biased here from what I can see - although it may be the best for this particular specification, we don't know if it will be matched elsewhere. So may be other phones that will compete overall, ergo the S7 would be among the best in it's class.

                  Let me guess, minimum brightness and a 4x4 pixel video (meaning 99,99999999% pixels are shut off)?

                          Anyway, Samsung needs to make versions of the S7 with replaceable battery and a micro SD port if they want heavy users to buy it.

The S7 will have a 3000mAh battery and the S7 Edge will be 3500mAh. You can make a note of this and see for yourself when they are officially launched/unveiled late February.

                                Well it's not that impossible. The S6 Active achieved 18 hours (albeit at lower screen brightness) of video playback. Hope to see crazy good battery life in the S7.

                                        The S7 will ship with a non-removable 3000mAh battery. There is no way it will pull 17 hours of video playback at 100% brightness. It might be possible at 200 nits.
