Samsung Galaxy S7 is the upcoming flagship android smartphone from Samsung. The Galaxy S7 comes with a non-removable 3000 mAh / 3600 mAh battery with fast charging technology (60% battery is charged in 30 minutes). The battery is non-removable which means that if the phone is frozen or hangs occasionally then there is no way to reset the phone. The phone may hang during a software update.

Well it isn't so, as the Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge comes with a safety feature as when the phone freezes and becomes unresponsive then it restarts automatically within few seconds. This feature can be found in almost every Samsung Mobile or tablet having a non-removable battery. This automatic reboot is present to save your phone's battery and from unwanted hardware damage.

However some situations may arise in which you fill find that the phone is completely frozen and the touchscreen becomes unresponsive and the Galaxy S7 isn't restarting itself besides having the safety feature. Then in this situation manual override comes in to play in which you will restart the Galaxy S7 on your own, however this is not Hard Reset which is done only when the phone doesn't perform well even after restart and fixing everything.
