Did Samsung pay people to attend its S6 press conference in China?

05 April, 2015
According to Shanghai-based news outlet The Paper, half of the 1,000-strong audience was hired.

Also I do not know if some mentioned yet not even announced device will have sd810 or will it have a heating problem
What I do know is sd810 heats up 2 degrees more than sd801 and sd805. Hardly newsworthy as much as all the fuss samsung intentionally made

And THAT is why I do not like samsung, and have no problem admiting it

            The SnapDragon 810 is going to kill performance and battery life. Check the M9 battery life. That's what the Z4 is going to be.

            The S6 will have a far superior screen and camera to the Z4. The S6 will also be smoother and faster, since SONY will throttle the processor to keep it cool.

                  An investigation is ongoing to see who made this fraudulent article, even the original people who did publish it have acknowledged it as fake.

                  So based on your flawed logic every review site is wrong and you're only correct. That's amazing, you blindly follow Sony and believe everything that bashes it's competition, especially Samsung, because you like Sony.

                    People have done extensive testing on the S6/S6 Edge already. No one found a single hint of cheating.

                    I don't care about Samsung's past. What I care about is what they're doing now and in the future. Right now, they have the best SoC in the market and are not cheating. What happened with the S4 benchmarks don't affect what'll happen with the S6, so why should I care?

                      So, accept the fact samsung is a company with lowest buissness ethics in the world, and anything related to it should pass severe scrutiny and doubt, or get out of here

                        Later, both tweakers.net and Anandtech confirmed that HTC was STILL CHEATING on benchmarks, which was the primary cause of the overheating problem.

                        This rumor has not been confirmed by a single trust-worthy source. The fact that it comes from Taiwan only makes me more skeptical, as I'm very aware that Taiwan hates Samsung for destroying their tech companies.

                          You're entitled to your opinion, but the problem is you're trying to pass it off as fact. Your opinion doesn't mean you're correct. I did look at your posts on Z4 page, every report or person that points out the problems with your Z4 is wrong and you're always correct.

                          Also S6 benchmark is spot on, Exynos 7420 is actually great processor and better than snapdragon 810 which is prone to overheating.

                                There is no evidence that Samsung cheated the S6 benchmarks. There would be reports from Anandtech about it if there were, just like how they reported that HTC was still cheating with the M9.

                                Just admit that Samsung designed a very good SoC and go away.

                                    HTC is still cheating. Look at Anandtech's preview of the M9.
                                    Also, Samsung never hired trolls to write false reviews of their competitor's products. That false rumor was started by a Taiwanese (Surprise surprise), just like this fake rumor.

                                    The Taiwanese are butt devastated because Samsung is destroying their tech industry.
