All about the ancient tribes
Samsung Galaxy S7 was Samsung’s 2016 flagship phone with very powerful hardware and the best camera at that time. Even in 2019 the phone will perform very well, however this device being already received two major Android OS upgrades, won’t receive any more major upgrade.
Here’s how much your old Samsung Galaxy phone is worth now
Model | Original price | Flipsy resale value |
---|---|---|
Galaxy S6 Edge (2015) | $700 | $100 |
Galaxy S7 (2016) | $669 | $110 |
Galaxy S7 Edge (2016) | $779 | $135 |
Galaxy S8 (2017) | $750 | $242 |
The lithium-ion batteries present in Samsung Galaxy phones are overheating due to battery management system failures, causing phones to smoke, catch fire, or even explode. On September 15, 2016 Samsung recalled the Note 7 after dozens of reports of overheating.
Premium Samsung handsets typically tout a four-year life span, so this comes as no surprise. Interestingly, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active looks like it will receive quarterly security updates for a bit longer, although we expect Samsung will remove that handset in the coming months as well.
Best answer: No. While the Galaxy S7’s hardware is great, its software isn’t expected to be updated for much longer. Instead, you should opt for the Galaxy S8 with its updated specs, design, and improved software experience.
Faulty Application: It is possible that a certain application on the mobile phone might be causing the battery drain by running in the background and even using the data while doing so. Also, if a certain application has stored a lot of cache on the device, it can also use up the battery rapidly.
A beautiful display, good battery life, first-rate build quality and snappy performance make the Samsung Galaxy S8 worth it in 2020. Newer flagships might be fancier, but they are so much more expensive their extra features become pointless.
The Samsung Trade -In Program allows customers to trade in an eligible device and receive an instant trade -in credit toward the purchase of a new qualifying Galaxy device. The instant trade -in credit for trading in a smartphone or a tablet applies only to New Samsung Devices.
If overheating persists, you can try wiping the cache partition. With your Galaxy S7 turned off, press and hold the Power, Home, and Volume Up buttons together until you see the Samsung logo and then release. This launches the S7’s Android system recovery mode.
It seems that the days of exploding Samsung phones are still not behind us as a Nigerian Samsung device user recently took to Twitter to reveal that his Galaxy S7 edge caught fire without any provocation. This isn’t the first time a Samsung device has allegedly gone up in flames.
The infamous Galaxy Note 7 was recalled just weeks after launching in 2016, after the phone began spontaneously catching fire for some users. A Samsung investigation eventually revealed that there was a major battery fault that caused the overheating issue.
Samsung finally ends support for the Galaxy S7 after four years of updates. After four long years of regular, and then not-so-regular updates, Samsung has now pulled the plug on support for the Galaxy S7 series.
If the s7 does what you need then replace the battery and save money. The s7 is still a pretty good phone. My first battery lasted me 2 years. The phone would always over heat and drain fast if I was using the VR head set.
Samsung Galaxy S7 has a Non-removable battery type. To remove or replace the battery, contact your service provider or an authorized repair agent. Damage or faults caused by the unauthorized removal of the battery are not covered by the warranty. Please note replacement to new battery may be charged additionally.
It’s always nice to have the newest smartphone and latest technology in the palm of your hand, but for a device so expensive, you might want to upgrade at the pace of the average American: every 2 years. When you do upgrade your smartphone, it’s important to recycle your old device.
