Just wondering about the actual statistics here...
Is this a higher failure rate than average phones? Or is there a extremely large focus on all of these devices because of what they are, and therefor problems are more "visible" (there's probably an English word for the phenomenon)

At this point these are just review models—the phone itself hasn't been release yet. > Or is there a extremely large focus on all of these devices because of what they are, and therefor problems are more "visible" There's a large focus on these devices, because the people who got them were given them for that purpose.
- drcode 8y agoSamsung said that the units sent out are the same as the final consumer devices, for what it's worth.
- ErikHuisman 8y agoThe phone is supposed to release 26th.. "Just review" models can't be much different from the final devices. Also, why would Samsung risk giving high profile reviewers inferior "just review" models? I would give them the best QAd devices i'd got. Sounds like a lot of people are wishful thinking this isn't going to be a release disaster. My bet is Samsung will pull the plug and not release it at all (this year).
- ErikHuisman 8y agoOh boy, it looks like they are going through with the release
- mcphage 8y agoAnd now, they’re not. It was the right call on their part, even if it should never have gotten to this point.
- xondono 8y agoThe issue here is that being review units, Samsung has supposedly pre-tested them and discarded “bad from the start units”. If 4 of them have failed in 2 days, their MTTF is pretty low.
