After the S7 debacle, I wouldn't advise it; most likely, it would be wiser to go at the honer. By the way, even if you attempt it, you will get the idea that the buttons around the edge are playing, and you will hear the sound of something dangling. The benefits of it include: The display is normal, the battery life is satisfactory, and the device does not become less responsive. Some cons: The plastic on the rear is readily marred by scratching. During a call, the sound of the speaker is a little bit muted. Loss of network access on a regular basis, but she eventually recovers. Touchscreens on the sides that are not very clear Poor finger sensor on the screen; it takes a long time and often does not recognize any touches at all. When a person is speaking, the screen does not always lock. The camera, in comparison to the S7, shoots exceedingly poorly in low-light conditions, producing grain so dense that nothing can be seen clearly; alternatively, it does not grain but rather blurs the image.
