I don't believe so since I believe they use a different battery altogether. Overall, the only reports, warnings, and recall have been for the Note 7. I have a Galaxy S7 (non-Edge) and it barely even heats up if you charge it normally with a micro USB charger. That being said, I also prefer not to use the included Quick Charger that Samsung provides with the phone. Saving that battery life man...

If the s7's were going to explode, they would have exploded months ago, because the note 7 is a very new phone, and the s7 is multiple months old.

Whenever i use my S7 and it starts getting warm I get paranoid. I use the Samsung charger without the fast charging feature turned on.

I mean phone always heat up when charging so it might just be the paranoia. Some places have been gossiping that the S7 & S7 Edge will have bad batteries as well, but there is nothing to back that claim. There have been some stories about it happening, but they seem to be single cases. I mean out of all the phones/batteries manufactured there are bound to be random issues even if there are no defects.

There are no known cases of a Galaxy S7 exploding or anything similar. Only about 1/50,000 Note 7s and 1 Galaxy Core Prime with a fake battery.

That video you posted was also shown to be an isolated case. I think people are just starting to get way too paranoid about Note 7 thing and trying to involve other models from the Galaxy line.

Ok thanks. Now I don't feel as paranoid. Can you guys keep me updated if anything happens?

You're fine. Even the Note 7 explosions are only going to affect around 1% of Notes shipped out. I think 35 issues reported of the million or so phones that were bought. So even if you had a Note 7 youre fine.

I've had my s7 edge for 6 months now and nothing has happened.
