This normally occurs when Image is exactly what logs say.Its too big.What I do is set all variations of the image i.e for hdpi,mdpi,xhdpi,xxhdpi and xxxhdpi. So while adding your image files, make sure there's one for each so each device oout there chooses the best density for itself.

Your images folder should look like this

The samsung s7 you tested perhaps has lower resolution than other devices.

I suggest you compress this image, 106616832bytes is definitely too big.
