I still have this phone, it runs flawlessly for the basics and even occasionally still gets minor updates! This is why I loved Samsung! I only had to switch because they shut off the 3G networks where I live! Or I would still be using it to this day!
@@voteDC oh wow! I just looked it up! It does! I feel so stupid right now! I have spent about $650 on new phones. I was not very technical back then so I get I did not know about all that stuff. I am flabbergasted! Oh well, too late now, I guess. But thanks for letting me know. My carrier sent me a letter in the mail and told me that my phone would no longer receive service. I guess this is why you do not trust a company telling you that your old device is no good and get a new one... preferably from them, of course!
The reason why the phone is unusable is because of the Snapdragon 820 processor, which is very bad, and the Snapdragon 810 is even better since it heats up considerably. In fact all phones with the snapdragon 820, 821 processor are unusable today. The s7 and s7 edge with the exynos 8890 processor are much much faster and can be used perfectly today.
that's a lot of "actually"s lmao I ended up getting my s23 ultra stolen at a bar when it fell out of my pocket so I had to revert to my old s9, never going back to those older phones again. It worked fine, in fact it is still a really good phone-- but it is missing out on so many good features, simple stuff too like being able to crop videos while editing and not just zoom in on them. Stayed with that for 6 months before saving up for a much better phone--- I'm so happy I got the s24 ultra now, one of the best phones on the market by far.
Well I think these old phone are acting more like phone. I mean to say is that new phones ruining us but old ones having hardware limits we're in our senses and working towards our goals. Companies keeps launching new and more power phones every year. Understand your requirments and then choose your device.
Your S7 has problems. Maybe do a factory reset & try again. This is NOT normal, not even close. We have old Samsungs in the family, there is an S6 that's 10x faster than your S7.
Same my s7 edge opens tiktok in just 3 seconds instead of 5 minutes shown in the video! It is literally 15x faster than the video I'm using it as my daily driver
@@RuviaPawz hes not lying my s7 edge is flying like literarly it opens apps in just 1 second and samsung apps in just 0.4 seconds and youtube in like 2 secs and especially tiktok 3 seconds!! not 5 minutes!! also my s7 edge is running android 12 one ui 4.1
The reason the battery life is bad is ether the pones os is new or is the battery life that’s bad when it was new or you deceased the battery health and it doesn’t matter if it’s a iPhone or android
There must be something wrong with your phone, I've been using my S7 for five years now and it's still perfectly fine. I've generally upgraded my phone when it starts to feel laggy due to apps bloating (updating) over time, and it hasn't happened with this one. Or maybe it's because yours seems to be some weird carrier specific model with unknown amounts of additional stuff.
There's also the fact that that phone was fast back then, and if you still use it consistently then you've never truly experienced faster so your brain defaults the S7 as Fast even though it's dreadfully slow for most nowadays.
It's a weird phenomenon you may have used faster but if you've never used fast as long as you've used your current, then do you your brain classifies your current as fast even though it really isn't.
@@Samthibault04your s7 is soo slow... it definitely has some problems and also mine works very fast compared to yours apps like youtube,Google maps,gdrive,play store,gphotos opens in 1-2 seconds and simple samsung apps like phone,gallery,messages,notes,camera just open in half a second your s7 has some serious issues ngl my s7 edge is literally 20x faster shown in the video I'm using it as my daily driver and I will until it breaks.
@@eylemuyavul3055 at one point in the 90s waiting 5 minutes for your computer to load was considered fast. You daily drive an S7 so to you that is fast because you've never indepthly used a faster device more then you have the S7 So your brain is used to it and has settled, I guarantee if you went out bought a brand new s24 use that for a few months everyday as a daily then went back to the S7 it would be unbearable just like it is in my situation.
