Root (What I would Lose?)
(JUST to be clear, I have not AT ALL, rooted my phone; it is still as I had it when I got it, any updates are straight from its default updating options, Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow)
I contacted both AT&T ProTech Support and Samsung support about root and what I would lose IF my phone was rooted
The plan my family is on is the unlimited talk text data plan, with insurance and tech support, and I understand from samsung they said I have a 1 year warranty that covers only accidental damages for whatever part I would need replaced
would the insurance/tech support be a good enough replacement for the 1 year warranty samsung offers, as in the insurance would cover/repair any accidental damage on the phone (cracked screen, bad battery, etc...)

If you have insurance, and mess up the phone, I suppose you can toss it and make a claim, pay the deductible and they send you a refurb. As opposed to now having a working, brand new phone....I wouldn't do it, but it's your dime.

The answer you gave me is probably as good as its going to get
to be honest, if (and this is a giantically BIG IF) I decide to root my phone, ill be doing extensive researching to make sure I don't brick it; or ill just get another unlocked phone and just root that one

Best Buy has Moto pure and Nexus phones for half what the S7 cost and are very root capable.
