Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge may have top of the line specs, an unmatchable camera and an incomparable display but they fall short when it comes to sound department. They come with a single speaker that is placed at the bottom of the device that provides not so good multimedia experience. This article will help you make your sound experience better by installing a mod on your Galaxy S7/S7 Edge. Well, the experience would not match as with the device with the front facing speakers, but it would be definitely better than stock speaker settings.
The mod is developed by XDA Senior member zubi182. There are two versions of the mod, the first one is a volume boost mod and the second one is a dual speaker mod. To install this mod you will need a rooted Galaxy S7 or a Galaxy S7 Edge. Also, your device should have a custom recovery like TWRP. If you don’t have root or TWRP follow the guide linked below.

I think it’s doubtful this mod will improve sound quality all that much, considering that the S7’s main speaker is pretty horrid as is. Taking calls on speakerphone is not a good experience. Voices sound shrill and harsh, even at only 30% volume.
