With the Note phones I was able to delay the password or fingerprint entry for a period of time (5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.) after the screen goes dark. I was also able to define my home wifi network as a "safe" zone, where I wouldn't have to enter my password or fingerprint.

Just got the S7, but don't see these options anywhere. Is this possible with the S7?

Yes, I was able to delay the screen lock.

I had the Note 7, but returned it today because of the fire issue. I made the mistake of getting the S7, instead of larger-screen S7 edge. I should have researched it first, but thought both were the same screen size. Coming from the 5.7" screen of the Note, I find the S7's screen to be a bit small. Other than that, except for the iris scan and a few smaller features, there's not much difference in the phones.

Verizon is basically providing it as a temporary phone for the next 2 weeks when I will be exchanging the S7 for a Note 7, once the battery issues have been resolved.
