I got burned by Samsung devices one too many times: phones G2 to G5, security cameras, TV. Their software are all buggy and grinds the devices to a stop. My life became better once I got rid of all Samsung crap.

Had a similar experience, but by proxy. I was answering a lot of LOT of tech support calls when my dad decided to buy the latest and greatest Samsungs. Next cycle, I got him an iPhone X as a gift. Apart from "how do I do this on iOS", have had very little trouble with it. Still going strong even after several years now. Somehow, he's even picked up some decent iMovie editing skills - learning all by himself. Durability-wise, the Pro-level iPhones are the new Nokia 3310s.

  As a reverse example, my wife _just_ switched from iPhone to Android (Samsung S21) because she was sick and tired of her iPhone not doing what she wanted it to. The cries of "arg, why is it doing that?!?" were pretty common. Things like adding a song to it using iTunes, only to get in the car and it turns out it's not on the phone (the phone wants to grab it from the cloud... and we don't have unlimited data).

this is my experience too. Samsung is all about marketing. I bought s6 which didn't even last 5 hour of battery life on usage. And after 2 year it died so easily. Then there was Samsung Washing Machine which started giving lot of issue after 2 years. My life has become lot better and peaceful after getting rid of samsung crap. Samsung doesn't deserve our money.

My experience has been with their TVs, really poor experience so far. Software fails all the time (this is less than 1 year old), screen is black, needs to be rebooted to work again. Remote started firing multiple times at random too.

I also find Samsung to aggressively erode user privacy and push ads. It's a company I avoid.
