The ones from Samsung, from smartphone production department (only amateurs left there) are some ... amateurs. Any specialist in electronics, computer science, etc. laughing with tears of their way of solving the tint red. That's how it happens when they create new phones, some ... amateurs, not professionals. When you want to maximize profit, then you have to give up ... specialists. That's what Samsung has done for the last 2 years.

Anyway no use in calling him a liar, I'm on my second S8+, the first had a stain on the screen. It happens all the time.

      sa11oum, 29 Apr 2017Ever heard of mail .. ?!What kind of mail is that fast? Fake as f***. Still impossible in that little time frame with multiple exchanges. You think re-mailing it back is fun and easy? Its time consuming. Takes days for it to be returned and takes even more days for the new ones to arrive; sometime weeks. Do that again and again? Yeah, right. How believable is that?

            We expect that the flagship models should be free from bugs as we are pouring huge amount for such models.

                AnonD-483897, 28 Apr 2017Nah, It's Pixel and OnePlus.They're stock, but seemed to be not synchronized to the hardware.

                XZs isn't the most powerful Android phone, but is super optimized that actually bypass its limitation. SD820 and eMMC storage beating a SD835 and UFS 2.1 - sounds very impossible, right? Apparently, it just happened.

                It even gave a run for the iPhone 7 Plus by going toe-to-toe easily, probably the closest to the speed of the iPhone 7 Plus. Nope, XZ breaks the 3T's speed barrier, yet the XZ loses to the XZs

I dont know what idiot never check the phone they replaced before bringing it home that they have to replaced it again and again. And I doubt you would go to the same place multiple times to get an exchange without embarassing yourself. Even more surprising, it was only last week samsung customers got their S8, regardless the preorder or bought directly from store. In that time frame you managed to exchange so many time? Wth? Not a single person would find going back and forth to a samsung store a fun journey.

                            Did nothing on mine. Just the color balance menu is a bit different, but that's it. It's a hardware issue. AMOLED is hard to manufacture.

                                    If s8 is not in your perspective then don't buy and stop trolling here.
