Batteries sometimes go bad but yours should still be warrantied if you bought the device new. I believe that Samsung warranties its batteries for one year. Whether damage to the phone caused by a swollen battery would also be covered I don't know. Did the people you spoke to say anything about that?

Geez...I didn't know people got so upset over these devices.

I agree that your battery issue is frustrating, but there is currently no evidence that this is a widespread problem with the S7. There will always be a certain small percentage of batteries that are defective -- we see reports here of swollen batteries from all kinds of phones. But we haven't seen a whole string of complaints about the S7's battery specifically. My guess is that you were unlucky with this unit. Hopefully, Samsung will honor the warranty -- they might not, since you opened the phone yourself. Good luck!

Agree,my s7 edge battery would last about two days.And fast charging mode,my phone would not overheat.I'm loving my very much.

Cool story bro.

Batteries can fail... no sugar coating it. Every phone out there with a LiPo battery has units that failed. Either they fail catastrophically (i.e. catch fire), they suffer some sort of fault and start to outgas and swell, or they just up and plain stop being able to hold a charge. The tech is very delicate...

We are hearing about battery failures more now, not because phones are now more susceptible to failing, but because battery failures are now high-visibility stories and even a single failure makes headlines. If the S7 or S7 Edge had some sort of systemic defect that affected the battery, like the Note 7, we would have heard of wide spread issues a LOOOOOONG time ago.

I believe that the increasing capacity and density of batteries in itself increases the risk of fire/explosion.
