      Hence why I keep my Xperia XZ2. LCDs are not as power efficient as OLED and contrast is not that great but I rather have a good LCD IPS screen that I can replace for cheap than a OLED which costs the price of the whole phone.

      If the display costs as much as the phone with display, someone is doing something wrong with the prices or sales process. Either the spare displays are shipped through inefficient channels compared to how the complete phones are shipped, or someone is charging artificially high or low prices depending on who buys the stuff.

    As a Samsung S7 user, it's cool that people are still getting this phone. The specs, price, and avaliability of these used phones make it good as a tinkering device for playing around. Maybe things like dashcams, security cameras, or servers. As a daily driver, I have to be very careful not to damage it since sourcing quality replacement parts are expensive and hard to find like in the video. I hope Samsung phones enter display side on newer phones since the screens cost so much and susseptible to burn in.

    When you said that the device was lagging I knew it was the battery problem. My S7 Edge always gives me warnings that my Battery is failing and can't supply enough power and for same reason the performance is limitted, battery life has degraded to 4 hours of screen on time. I won't be changing the battery because I can't find original battery in my country. I have also a S9 Plus and my S21 Ultra that I use.
    To this day I think that the S7/S7 Edge was the best smartphone ever to exist.

      Can't agree. S10 and Fold2 are up there too.
      S10 is what I like to call the last great all-rounded Samsung as it was the last flagship to have all the features we could want such as a headphone jack and expandable memory. Whilst also being Samsung's first flagship featuring some new features such as triple lens setup and world's first ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor. Might I add, this phone feels bloody excellent to handle without a case and got the curved edges of the phone just right whereas the S7 edge wasn't that ergonomically friendly.
      The Fold2, innovative and excellently refined from Samsung's first attempt at a folding phone. (I didn't mention Fold3 as while that phone takes some steps forward from the Fold2, it also takes some back).
      Heck, the Note20 Ultra is pretty nice too.

    I remember the s7 edge being the absolute coolest not just because of the curved screen, but because her edge came with the oculus attachment bundled. First experience with true VR and it was wild. It’s crazy how I’m describing it with nostalgia when it was only like 2017 lol

    I'm about to replace the battery on my S7. It still works pretty good as a backup phone and secondary wifi device, but the battery is toast. I prefer the way it fits in my hand to my S9 plus. If I had to revert to the S7 as my main phone, I would not mind (once the battery is replaced).

    I still have my S7 Edge. I got the Qualcomm variant. Battery is also original. Still working to this day! A bit sluggish due to poor RAM latency and inefficient CPU (lots of heat...) but she still holds on. Perhaps the best phone I've ever owned.

    Used My S7 Edge Gold for 3 years Without any protection(no proper screen protector can be used because of curved display) untill The Screen Broke. It was usable for 2 more years if not broken. Moved to pixel because repair cost is nearly buying a new one. One of the best flagship phones Samsung ever built.

    as a technician who works ridiculous amount of hours on samsung software and hardware, i have these observations that were not mentioned in the video:
    The sprint motherboard, being american is a model G935P. The charging port shown on the new screen installed is a G935F, by installing the incorrect charging port (even if it fits), the antennas are not compatible and will not pick up signal.
    Another observation is that on the last images of the phone, you can see he showed the software information where it indicates that the software installed being G935F. So how do it go from Sprint G935P to thos oem G935F ? Both stock firmwares are not compatible so he couldnt have just 'flashed' the OEM 'F' software. I think he just used a new motherboard to fix the 'rebooting' issue on the sprint motherboard.
    Love your videos Hugh! Im just a nerd who also loves this line of work.

      There was three phones in this video:

      1x Assembled but smashed phone.
      The sprint branded motherboard was overheating and restarting. It wasn't fixed, I recycled that board.
      However I used a few of the components on the frame it was attached to for the other bare motherboard when assembling it into a frame.

    I still have my S7 edge. I just replaced it with a S21+ and I have to be honest I am really disappointed. The display doesn't even compare to my S7. I was about to send it back and upgrade but even the S21 ultra doesn't have the same quality. I'm definitely keeping my S7 around for watching videos.

    I had a black S7 and its battery was swollen and it was popping the back glass little bit. The phone literally exploded while charging. Thankfully it was lying on a table and no one got hurt...
    So if anyone has a phone with a swollen battery. Don't charge it nor use it. Replace the battery asap

I literally have to heat up this phone with a hairdryer every 10 minutes if i want to use it, because its winter in italy :'(
