      I'mNoBody, 12 Feb 2017That's how you dispose faulty battery without spending much.Having something catch fire INSIDE your factory isn't going to be cheap.

You just said "How could you prove something to be true when you didn't even have tested all of the devices in the world?" which means you're asking me to try every single unit of the 3T and XZ in the world just to prove that I'm right. To explain this, more RAM doesn't mean better performance. If you can still recall, the Z5 Premium with 3GB of RAM in Lollipop crushes the Note 5 with 4GB of RAM in Lollipop in terms of multitasking capabilities. And you know why that happened? If not, you better do some research before trying to counterflow me

To think a chinese company didnt learn from history and repeating the same mistake is even a bigger shame. Shame on Oneplus for cheating in 2016.

                  Why is Samsung still holding on to those faulty batteries 4 months after production ended and all batteries recalled? Oh right, to use them in S8.

It's my job on my own site to report on these things so beleive me I'm not trolling you. Half your comment downstairs even make sense to what I said neither does it prove any other then your a Sony fanboy. This thread is dead and I'm doing a post on my own site now for the OnePlus 3T and this ridiculous benchmark "issue" in the mean time my point is clear, stop developing bad batteries Samsung. You can't cheap out in some things

                        planned drama to make people believe that the batteries were the culprit.
                        First, They falsely blame on batteries and now they fire up the unit to make it real.

Do I have to link the link for you to believe I'm telling the truth? Or you're going to try your best finding ways to prove that I'm wrong? You can troll me as much as you can, but you'll never change the truth.

                                This is the OnePlus 3T (Marshmallow but Nougat barely improved the performance and speed) vs X Performance (considerably slower than the XZ and is running Nougat) and looks how close the fight is, and even sometimes the XP opens app faster than the 3T. Chinese companies are increasing quantity with nothing left for quality. At the same time of release, the Xperia Z2 is so much faster than the OnePlus One because of software optimization. The same explains why iPhone 5s is still smooth, if not so much, on iOS 10.2.1. You can put 6GB of RAM but if the software doesn't make full use of it, then it's useless. My final remarks: Try something first before complaining. Just because others offer more doesn't mean they're better overall. Price isn't the factor to determine how good a phone is

                                      My best guess is that samsung have disposed off defective batteries from the Note 7 without any other losses.Safely disposing Li-ion batteries are quite expensive
