Anyone who says android still does the lag are not using the phone correctly.
Daily cache cleans and use Lag kill apps
Factory reset monthly

Lag has always been a lie started by windows and Apple fans

In my country Sony is the most consumer complaints and their after sales service is the worst :-( . Z3C is my last Sony phone, not to mention glue popping out from beneath the screen, never buy Sony phone again.

Not only iPhones explode, it can also electrocute you, lol, dude, I have never heard of Apple taking any responsbilities for their faculty design. They only said to you "you hold it incorrectly", haha

                  Disappointing but not surprising. Samsung's product quality has been in decline for a while now. All they want are new phones every month and profits. Greed.

                            Samsung has the worst quality control products ever.
                            Failed scratch test even on latest Gorilla Glass 5
                            Poor Touchwiz optimisation which produces terrible lag
                            Horrible customer service
                            and now, battery problems and tons of other issues going to be discovered.

                            I recommend going for Nexus, HTC or Motorola for good quality products.

                                        GSM Arena, why do you let people with little IQ post on here? A lot of your readers are not educated enough to tell the difference between a rare occurrence such as this with the Note 7 and a history of unsafe or unreliable products from other vendors. The quality of your site and the editorials is superb, but the comments sections are flooded with immature and unprofessional comments and should be moderated to improve the value of the site, in particular by allowing more detailed or mature reviews, questions/answers and analysis to be posted by your readers.
