The Samsung Galaxy S7 is starting to reach that age where it's no longer in line to get the latest versions of Android but is still supported by Samsung with security updates. That means you might be reading this on a Galaxy S7 right now, and looking to re-up on protection for your screen. Here are the best screen protectors for the Galaxy S7!
This tempered glass screen protector is scratch-resistant and only 0.3 mm thick, featuring slight curves designed to contour right to the edge of the screen and offering the best edge-to-edge screen protection you'll find for the Galaxy S7. Installation is easy thanks to the precise cutouts and solid border around the bezel of the phone, and you shouldn't notice any difference in the phone's touch sensitivity.
OtterBox offers a tempered glass screen protector that is compatible with its own cases, which makes total sense. If you already own an OtterBox case for your S7, this is the screen protector you want to try. It comes in both clear and privacy options, with the latter preventing people from viewing your screen from side angles.
The Maxboost Liquid Skin protector includes two screen protectors for the screen — one with precise cutouts around the bits you want to be exposed, and the other a case-friendly option with cutouts from the edge around the top and bottom of the screen. It also includes a protector film for the back panel of your phone because it's made of glass to and susceptible to scratches and scuffs too!
Screen protectors are designed to take the scratches, scuffs, and other abuse, so your phone doesn't. With this three-pack of screen protectors, you'll be able to swap an old one out after it's worn out. LK claims their screen protectors use a unique adhesive that can be washed, reused, and reapplied and they back their product by a lifetime warranty, so you can buy with confidence.
Probably time to consider an upgrade
You can still buy brand new Galaxy S7 phones to this day, and especially if you're buying one now, you'll need a screen protector. But if you've had one for a while now, you can breathe new life into your phone by giving it a fresh screen protector to cover up any microabrasions or cracks. Having said that, if you're still using a Galaxy S7, you might want to start thinking about upgrading to a phone that will get software updates for Android Pie and onwards.
