      Samsung has too many dirty tactics. They hired trolls everywhere, cheated in benchmarks, and they are corrupted in Korea. I no longer support them.

          We are just stating the result of official investigation, yet you still believe that everyone who uses their brain and thinks logically must be paid by Samsung. Making more account and trolling doesn't prove anything but makes you look very immature.

              According to you pretty much anyone who looks into this report, analyses it and sees it's a fake is Samsung zombie. You even failed to read upon the result of official investigation which proves the report as phony.

              Also will you read my post, I did mention you're trying to get rise out of me but it won't work.

                    They wouldn't reveal who are them, but they hinted it was some Taiwanese that fund by a Taiwan tech company. I wasn't surprise at all as Taiwanese are world famous for making up story, telling tonnes of lies and heavy corruption, just like Taiwan province last highest in charge Chen Shui-bian and his whole family, relatives and all his subordinates.

                                  Nice try, Taiwan. Just because Samsung is owning your tech companies doesn't make it right to spread outright lies.

                                      With regards to your second question Samsung didn't pay any of us any money.

                                      Even with the statement from Samsung and the fact the claims are now officially debunked, you still insist on your claims very interesting.

                                      If you want to troll here, at least do make sure that it's not from same IP address using multiple accounts. If you're trying to get me mad sorry not going to work.

                                        Really? WoW! guess chinese isnt too fond of overly priced phones when theyve got hauwei, xiaomi, oppo & also now own Motorola (nexus6 prices though...).

                                        i went to S6 launching here at Kuala LUmpur, & it was packed as hell. the only thing i got from Sammy was invitation card because i'm Note 4 user.

                                        i envy those who got paid if real
