Samsungs smartphones are unreliable?

• gus_massa 11mo ago
  Last month, my old phone decided to die, and I bought a Samsung. Hardware is fine so far, but software ... Recent rant in a similar thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45740274 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45740274 New rant: As I said, the phone restarted itself to upgrade and disabled the notifications until I loged in again. I could have missed some important stuff, but I notice it before it caused a problem. So I went to the configuration and disable automatic upgrades. Now I get a notification that ask me to restart to upgrade, and say that if I accept it will be restarted automatically next time. (And it's very easy to press that button by mistake.) And there is an annoying that each week tells me if I used the phone 5 minuthe more than the previous week, and is magical and impossible to turn off.

  I've owned 2 Samsung smartphones and both have had issues the same hardware issue. In the older phone it was a known issue so the repair was only $20, but with the new phone I think it'd be a couple hundred more
