This quick guide will explain how to reset a frozen Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. Both phones are almost two years old, but they’re still very popular, even if they’re slowing down. The Galaxy S7 does not have a removable battery, meaning you cannot remove the battery if it is frozen or unresponsive.
Learning how to restart your phone will save you a lot of trouble when you encounter other problems. Rather than going to a carrier store for help, a reboot will fix almost any minor issue.
On older Samsung Galaxy phones you could remove the battery if the phone was working, this is no longer an option. Instead, you have to do a hard reset by pressing a few buttons in a specific order. With these phones starting to show signs of aging, this is a trick all owners will want to know.
