Will banking apps and WhatsApp still work on the S7 Edge in 2026?

Most apps today require Android 8.0 or newer. The S7 Edge supports Android 8.0, so WhatsApp and many banking apps will still work, but support may end in the coming years.

What about battery life for such an old model?

As it is an older device, the battery capacity has likely decreased. With average usage, it will last half a day to a full day. We recommend replacing the battery if the capacity is below 80%.

Is the S7 Edge still waterproof?

Originally, the device had an IP68 rating. However, for a used device, we cannot guarantee water resistance, as the seals age and may have lost their properties.

Does this phone have a headphone jack?

Yes, unlike newer models, the S7 Edge has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack.

Can I increase the storage capacity?

Yes, the S7 Edge supports microSD cards up to 256GB, allowing you to store a large number of photos and videos.

Is the camera quality still acceptable today?

In daylight, the S7 Edge still takes very good and sharp pictures thanks to its f/1.7 aperture. However, in night photography and video stabilisation, it falls behind today's mid-range models.
