The Samsung Galaxy S7's battery life is just as good as the battery performance in HTC 10. The HTC 10 takes a bit better pictures and videos than Galaxy S7, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is not so good for shooting images or video in low light situations, and they both have the same (4K) video resolution and a same resolution back facing camera, the HTC 10 also counts with higher video frame rates and a larger sensor.
Galaxy S7 not only is the best devices in this comparison, but it's also by far the cheapest one.
