Well sir, this is a taste of what Sony mobile and there fans suffer , year after year, countless number of Samsung fans trolling all over the place and forums spreading lies and hideous comments about xperia phones and such.

                      I'm not a Samsung fan and i have neither love or hate for them, but i do know that they're pretty big (for this you can watch ColdFusion's video on them and how big they are). HTC is a lot smaller and they are still running, and Sammy is also operating with a far bigger profit than HTC.

                      They're not going anywhere. Claiming that they're going to fail is asinine and something a hater would say.

                      Facts are these:
                      - Did they lose a lot of money? Yes, they did.
                      - Will they completely fail? No, they won't.

                      As for their printer business, i never even heard about their printers, or remember seeing one...

                                  There inkjet printers are pure garbage. Leaking and wasting ink. Breaks for no reason. Claims youre using fake cartridge when youre using the real (expensive) one.

                                    Samsung is the most unreliable big company in the world.

                                    All they want os just profit, nothing else.

                                    Few things to support my argument:

                                    1. Remember Samsung Hubs?
                                    2. And ChatOn?
                                    3. Milk Music
                                    4. Milk Video

                                    How can you ever trust a company with such a poor tract record. Now I don’t even look at any new service launched by Samsung..because I know it will be shut down sooner or later.

                                    Okay agreed they were just services and I can pardon Samsung for it for some extent.

                                    But what about these

                                    5. Laptops gone (Except in US maybe)

                                    6. Cameras gone

                                    7. Now No more Samsung printers

                                    How can anybody trust buying anything Samsung?

                                    And Samsung does it when people actually start using and loving its products and its ecosystem.

                                    And agin I am not even considering smaller featues with are dead now:

                                    8. Action memo on Note 7
                                    9. Colour selection for editing on Note 7
                                    10. IR blaster
                                    11. Many many nifty software features

                                    All in all I can never trust Samsung now.

                                    It thinks it can just keep the most profitable business ie. Mobile phone, Display and maybe Memory and Chips.

                                    But, Sorry to say say they will eventually fail because the ecosystem Samsung had created is No More. And now I can switch out from Samsung world much more easily.

                                    Go to hell Samsung. :(
