Android Central Question

I've just bought a used S7 Edge and the battery seems to drain a bit quick.
Accubattery shows health of 74% (2,950MaH) and I'm wondering if that's worth getting a replacement?
Is this normal deterioration in this phone (made October 2016) or could I send it back to the seller as not matching "fantastic condition" ?
Thanks
 
That could be normal but you don't know how much the previous owner used the phone. Sounds like they used it quite a bit to be at that capacity.

I have three S7 Edge phones here, one has a capacity 90.67 and another is 91.45. You can get the battery replaced in your phone but it won't be cheap I'm sure and it's most likely not worth it.

If you don't think you can use the phone as is, I would try and get a refund.

New battery is £40GBP
Phone was £180 and is otherwise immaculate with no bloatware etc.

I've asked seller for small contribution towards new battery, but might just keep it and chalk it up as a cheap lesson learned...

Thanks for your reply!
