Worth a look..

If you are losing 25% overnight then it may be worth checking to see what apps are running permanently in the background that don't need to be.

I've got an S7 but don't use it that heavily and, since the Oreo update, it lasts a couple of days between charges.

I would say that you have the wrong phone for your requirements and would be better off selling it on and going for a higher spec phone as mentioned above.

I have the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite which is a bit lower powered than the S7 but does have a whopping big 4,000mAH battery and comes in a 3/32, 4/32 & 4/64GB version but they also have the Xiaomi Mi A2 which is higher performing than yours and although it's the same size battery (3,000mAH LiPo whatever difference that makes) as the S7 comes in 4/32, 4/64 & 6/128GB versions. It's also available in the 6/128GB version for just £225 from Gearbest at the moment.

Many thanks for the info. How long does your battery last under normal to heavy usage on average?

I would factory reset.
Then run with no apps added and check battery .
Still poor i would go down the new battery route first .

Mine is the lower end A2 Lite 4/32GB but I'm a really light user so it wouldn't apply to yourself anyway. At the moment my last full charge was over 9 days ago and I've still got 3½ days left.

If you don't mind a large phone, have a look at the Xiaomi Mi Max 2.

It has a 5,300 mAH battery and you can get it with a 64Gb memory for around £180 new on ebay in the UK or cheaper still from China but then you will have to pay duty and VAT when it arrives in the UK.

Or the Ulefone Power 3, 64Gb and 6350mAH battery?

If your dead set on a new handset, what budget are you looking at? You've not mentioned anything.
