Thanks to both models being powerhouses, the battery lives are more than great. Samsung’s also boasting super-fast charging capabilities so you can get more than 50 per cent charge in just 30 minutes.

Its advanced S Pen function has five new gesture controls to help with ‘touchless navigation of your device’.
