Samsung has lost any credibility they had as a competent manufacturer years ago. Their other products are beyond junk (fridges, washing machines…), their customer service is abysmal (they managed to “repair” my mp3 player and smartphone by returning it even more broken than they got it, and I’ve seen how the company works from the inside when they bought a startup I was working at. I know many people with Samsung fridges failing after a few years (or having too little coolant in them so that they make loud popping sounds when running and Samsung saying you’re holding it wrong)
From these experiences, I’m going out of my way to never buy anything made by Samsung.
- ike____________ 5mo agoYou forget exploding devices or the decision of selling it's crap exynos thing in Europe
- ornornor 5mo agoRight. And their complete contempt for user privacy on their smart TVs. Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, I'll even pay extra to buy anything but a Samsung device.

- UltraSane 5mo agoThe Galaxy smartphones are still some of the best.
- tosti 5mo agoThey don't do VoLTE when rooted. Their own stock ROM is on par with iPhone-level unworkable UI garbage. Apps that work on everything but not Samsung Galaxy. The only ROMs you can feasibly get on most models are limited to GSI builds. "The best" must be quite a low bar.
- UltraSane 5mo ago"Apps that work on everything but not Samsung Galaxy." This is interesting, what are some examples?
- tosti 5mo agoTelegram. When I used that, everyone would get their messages except those who had a samsung because it's continuously on a background task shooting spree. The weird thing is WhatsApp isn't affected but I'm never going to install that facebook crap. Even the mandatory work phone doesn't have it.
- ornornor 5mo agoThat’s your opinion. I’ll never get one and I absolutely don’t trust Samsung with my personal data.
- UltraSane 5mo agoIronic that the Secure Folder feature Galaxy phones have is one of the most secure enclaves.
