Looking at new phone. ..Galaxy S5 or S7?

I currently have a S5 that I've had since they first came out. It works ok, running Marshmallow 6.0.1. It's slow at times and has some lag when I press on things, and the screen glass is coming unglued around the edges. The phone is just heavily used and worn out, I think. I was looking on ebay at new, unlocked phones, and I can get another S5 for about $220, an S7 for about $450. My S5 has 16gb internal and a 32gb micro card. I'm always transferring apps and such to the sd card, and clearing the cache, but still only have 1gb or less free on the internal memory at any given time, so a 32gb internal memory would be nice. I LOVE the fact that I can snap the back off and change the battery, I'm on my 3rd battery. Any of you go from a S5 to S7? I'm curious if there was a big preformance difference and if the battery life was good. I don't want a Galaxy Edge model or an iPhone and have always had Samsung, so I haven't looked at other phones. Is there a better option around the $400 price point that I should consider? It'll live its entire life in an otterbox and I really need it to last 2.5 years or so. I hate buying phones.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Who are you with? Verizon is doing device payments on the S7 for $10 /month for 2 years. Which is only $240...obviously. Comes with a free gear vr, and a $50 occulus gift card.
We just got it for my wife, she had the S5. S7 is worlds better.

If you are getting it through your carrier an LG V20 is the best option
If not go on Swappa and get an unlocked phone. A 6p for about 250 probably.
Best buy had the Moto Z pure for 250.
Don't get a Samsung.

I have at&t...yeah I know, but been with them forever and have 4 unlimited lines bundled with my directv, and I get a decent discount through work. So I don't really want the hassle to switch to Verizon.

7. The battery life and fast charge features alone make it worth it.

Just reward yourself with a newer phone. It's expensive but if you can make it last 3 years, its extremely worth it

I have the 7 (edge, though) and love it. I'm familiar with the 5 and the 7 is light years better. The battery life is fantastic. I just got back from a trip to Europe and while I carried my charger with me while out and about-it lasted me daily and going into the night. I was taking a lot of pics, too....which is the main battery drainer with the phone.

S6 and S7 are garbage. I would get a MOTOZ or Iphone
