That's right. In the event your brand new S7 starts acting weird because of some setting you tweaked without understanding what it does, you can relax. You can fix your wonky settings-tinkering by resetting them back to their default states.
This type of reset is a soft reset, which means it won't erase all the data on your phone. It will get rid of any customizations you've made, however, so be aware of that.
