Please listen to Kelly. I did this and it sorted it out. Smart Switch and for that matter Google's own restore from device both install duplicate apps for a very small number of Samsung specific apps. I don't know why, and maybe this has nothing to do with it. But once I did the hard reset and set up from scratch, my lag disappeared as per the separate thread I posted, and it hasn't come back yet. I've sold my S7 Edge at this point. I'm comfortable that the reset and setting up from scratch sorted it out.
The only thing I did restore was the Nova Prime layout. But that's just a settings file.
Yes, please do this. I initially set up my note 7 with Smart Switch from note 5 and the note 7 phone went bonker with apps re-installing itself over and over again as well as being very laggy. I almost returned the note before deciding to set up the phone as brand new and re-install the apps that i want from Play Store.
All is well now, the phone is as smooth as can be. Definitely has something to with Smart Switch in my case
