Hopefully Samsung is now taking in charge for the problem and fix it ASAP.

    The fightings are just from people who can't admit that even the best of the best would still suffer from some problems at some point.
    Samsung isn't perfect, but the thing here is that it's so common nowadays with Samsung phones that people are no longer surprised to it.
    Every manufacturer that makes mistakes or gets issues with their products are always made fun of; it's typical, welcome to reality my brother.

        Even the Nexus and Pixel phones have bloatware courtesy of Google like those Play apps (Books, Movies, Games etc excluding the actual Play Store app). They should not have them pre-installed and should just let the user download them from the Play Store if they wanted those apps.

          I had such issue on my S7. After few days of freezes device motherboard died. Service center was not able to replace board in acceptable time, so I returned phone and get my money back.

                      There is no place to worries just because GN7 FE started $823

                        I like some Samsung products like their SSDs and Memory Cards, but definitely not their phones. I've had too many issues with their Android devices, either the battery is crap (gets bloated or expands) or the software lags too much despite disabling a lot of bloatware. I prefer brands that have close to stock Android like Sony or even Huawei.

                          I have been experiencing the same issue on my GS6 since i got the update to Nougat. so I don't think its limited to the GN8.

                            The GN8 is like the Titanic; a sinking flagship!

And if that guy has never seen the Play Store crashing, he really hasn't interacted with Android phones for more than 1-2 weeks tops.

                                Software do crashes. It's normal. We don't live in a perfect world where no errors occur. That isn't too much of a big deal.

                                I've had my S7E for a year and never had any problems like any serious crashes, UI slowdowns or other bugs. But i've kept care of my phone, always did a software maintenance at least once a month, never installed any suspicious apps, etc. etc....

                                How you take care of your phone is how your phone will take care of you. As simple as that.

On A Huawei and even my previous Jiayu - nope, i haven't.

                                        I'm sorry to say, but my iPhone 6S freezes a lot after the latest update, requiring forced reboot almost daily.
