      Hope Samsung S8 factory will explode with their phones and chips and than feel what other companies feel. And i hope samsung will lose sol much on S8. No matter i'm done with Samsung, hate their phones, TV's etc. the settings and design makes me cry. I wont buy any samsung devices even if I it's the last device in the world.
