What it means now that support ends
- 🔓 Security risk grows monthly. New vulnerabilities are discovered constantly; on an unsupported phone they are never fixed. Banking, payments, email, and password apps become progressively riskier.
- 📱 Apps drop off. Developers raise their minimum OS requirements over time — first you lose updates to apps, then the apps themselves.
- 💸 Resale value falls fast.The market prices support: once a phone leaves a manufacturer's update list, its used value drops sharply and keeps falling.

More questions about the Galaxy S7 edge
How long will the Galaxy S7 edge get updates?
It launched on Android 6.0 and received about 2 OS upgrades (to Android 8.0 Oreo) and roughly 3 years of security patches, ending around 2019. It is no longer supported.
What's different about the Galaxy S7 edge versus the S7?
The S7 edge has a larger 5.5-inch dual-curved display and a bigger 3600mAh battery, whereas the standard S7 has a flat 5.1-inch screen and a 3000mAh battery.
Is the Galaxy S7 edge worth using in 2026?
Its curved design still turns heads and the battery is generous, but with no security updates since 2019 and a microUSB port, it is best used only as a backup or collector's phone.
