I have been using an S7 (not edge) for more than 3 years now. It's still fast, has a super screen, takes beautiful photos and the battery usually lasts for about 30 hours, depending on use. If I video chat it runs down in about 2 hrs but sometimes (if I don't use it intensively) it runs for up to two days with one charge.
I was thinking about buying an S20 but cannot confess myself. My reasons: The S20 surely has an even better camera but this year I may not be able travel because of the pandemic. I try to be echo friendly too. I hope it'll get cheaper in some months.

ZA, 20 Apr 2020Hello, my device was working perfectly until a week ago.
... moreSame issue . Sent for repair they said battery is dead
Still didn't receive it .quite disappointed of the s7 tbh. We have 2 s7 edgea both had screen issues during warrenty period . Worked fine for 2 years and started getting problems again. But it's unacceptable that Samsung flagships break like this. Those were expensive phones back then and should work atleast 5 years without a issue

Do not buy I swear.
The phone was horrible heated up so quickly, Slow and after a year It had no storage. I had NOTHING installed. All I could do is watch youtube but after ten minutes it would heat up and become so laggy.
Do not waste money on this phone. Find another one.

What you can do is, just try to send it to someone over email, if the same issue occurs, then the solution might be as easy as flashing ROM.

Hello, my device was working perfectly until a week ago.
I've had it for just over 4 years and battery was still good (been replaced after 18 months).
Just before it stopped working the memory was really low (50mb) and the battery on 15%. I was clearing data / cache on some an app and the phone just froze.
I haven't been able to switch it on since, it doesn't respond to being plugged in.
Is it viable to have this phone fixed?

It's a pretty solid phone but the heating does tend to drain the battery little too much. If you have a device just sitting home you can send it over to my team, on facebook.com/ZedKnowledge .. just looking for devices to experiment on

I have an SM-G930.
It's slow. Painfully slow. Heats up just loading Twitter. The keyboard takes a solid 2 seconds to come up when a button is pressed. Accidentally double-tapping the home button to open the camera could cause 20 seconds of waiting. Don't get it. Just don't.

FullTank, 17 Feb 2020unfortunately galaxy S7 is a very big mess on the heat side... moreS7 may get hot, but you should see Nexus 5 once you raise the thermal limit, it goes to 85C easily and battery gets swollen in just a few days. Nexus 5 performance is just 33 MIPS, while S7 is close to 100 MIPS. So its much more efficient comparing to older generations.
Newer phones can get close to 200MIPS initially, but throttle after a few min to 130MIPS.
S7 has big.little architecture, meaning on 4 threads it can move the tasks to big cores, if you need more than 4, it will also use little cores, but will quickly limit frequency, throttling the performance.
