    "Koh Dong-jin, head of Samsung's handset business division, assured the press that only 24 of every 1 million devices are at risk, but the company won't be taking any chances with its users." I knew before even reading the article that this was only affecting a limited number of units, and as usual Samsung haters took advantage hook, line and sinker lol the company did the right thing by replacing all model, it's no different than a car company recalling their vehicles because of faulty break-pads.

I have run across roads without looking 100's of times and not got run over therefore I will just carry on until I do. Then, of course, it will be anyone's fault but mine! It's exactly the same logic. There really is no way of sensibly dealing with such a stupid mentality.

The SoC on that thing couldn't even properly support 720p resolution, often making the device stutter and lag. S4 on the other hand was a joke of a phone. Lagging and skipping frames out of the box was a serious issue on that phone too. Or any other Samsung phones for that matter. The build quality was also mediocre as evidenced by the chrome finish around the phone chipping away day by day.

                                        Also, are you talking out of your bottom? iPhone 6s is a proper flagship. Benchmarks and real-life usage reflect that. Don't be fooled by the numbers on the spec sheet. The 6s's NVMe memory speed still can't be beaten as of now. The phone is also guaranteed to receive major updates up to 5 years. So tell me which part of the phone sounds midrange to you?

                                        Don't let your judgment be clouded by your fanboyism. Peace.
