Is it normal for Galaxy s7 battery to drain 10% in an hour while browsing?

I just got my new s7 on the 8th of July to replace a failing iPhone 5 that had battery issues, so battery performance is very important to me.

I'm going on 1 day and 52 minutes since last charge with 5h SOT and still have 18% left. While I realise that's impressive, it's alarming to see that when I'm browsing online or using something like Facebook, the percentage decreases every 2-5 minutes. Is this normal? My screen is taking up nearly 40%, while most of my other apps range from 5-10%.

Any help or advice would be awesome. I have followed some battery saving instructions, including turning off AOD. I'm with Wind Mobile in Canada and they have a 15 day return thing if it happens to be an issue.

Thanks!
