Hello Life, 26 May 2018note 7 was a disaster. but samsung did pull the plug,refund... moreAnd yes Samsung DID refund people.
But 3 months after a problem was known by Samsung they unveiled whole fact there is a problem with Note 7. When too many users sends complains a lot more than Samsung would sustain and keep in private the information.
Note 7 has been send to mother company twice i think for mass repairs but as far as i know problem persisted. And Samsung as Apple also slow your phones via OS updates. Its like to force you to buy new phone because your old one doesnt works properly.

    Hello Life, 26 May 2018note 7 was a disaster. but samsung did pull the plug,refund... moreMan oneplus is always a flagship for half the price of other flagships and IOS a best OS?
    Did you drink something? Sober your self please.
    OS that restrrict you from almost anything.
    Doesnt matter what you do its ask for a stupid password.
    You cant even change your walpaper because OS wont sply let you.
    At IOS store is like half of things of android store.
    And what android store have for free at IOS you have to pay for.
    May i continue?
    I think not needed.
    Apple IOS is worst option to ever have. Rather to stick with Symbian or Linux :-) At least theses dont have buggs, laggs and with every new update several old bugs are fixed but even more are created.
    In case of Apple its a company which would take a lot of your money its a money hungry company but it will give nothing worth for return.

      AnonD-731363, 26 May 2018Oh man really? Tell that to Samsung Note 7 or Apple IOS whi... morenote 7 was a disaster. but samsung did pull the plug,refunding people. Ios is the best os out there for mobiles. It's the least confusing with solid apps library. Look, you are only taking the negatives of a device. I loved the One plus one, but it's easy to understand their strategy. They are increasing the price with every iteration. Flagship grade at half the price was their goal, thats why they grew in popularity. that isn't the case anymore.

                Trust me or not i dont care.
                Its not a blabbing you just dont want to understand the truth as it is.

                  AnonD-731363, 25 May 2018Oh man really? When S9 came out it had price tag of 950 now... moreLol.. what a joke. Xiaomi and oneplus more reliable than samsung? go blabber somewhere elsewhere. not on gsmarena

                    AnonD-731363, 25 May 2018Then you are the only one who like the bloatware. Because... moreHeart scanner in samsung can scan heart rate, SPO2, and stress for which you need heart rate scanner most aps on playstore uses flash which only measures heart rate and there are something which only custom skins can give you and sometime there is quality difference too features built in customs skins are of better quality than most apps which provide same feature like edge panel, samsung made is much better while 3rd party ones either uses too much resources, arent of high quality etc

                      Hello Life, 23 May 2018In my country the s9 is only 100 usd more than OP6. that al... moreOh man really? When S9 came out it had price tag of 950 now after 2 months its cost 700.
                      So what was the reason to sell phone for 950 eur if now cost 700.
                      And after few months it will cost less than present 520.
                      And Samsung beats oneplus? Where its last company when comming to updates.
                      Its worst company when we speak about quality.
                      For example in my shop i sell like 10 xiaomi phones a week and only 5 Samsung phones. But every month i have at least 10 Samsung phones back for repair but only like 3 xiaomi phones. About the support in many cases Samsung wont fix your phone in case of internal damage they say it was you and the possibility that phone breaks its sell is like something new for Samsung thus you have to fix it for own money and no guarantee will work.
                      About the Hardware GPU and CPU is same. Only few devices have Exynos rest have snapdragon. And believe nme chance your phone get exynos is low. So hardware is like same. Curved screen was always bad because no screeprotector hold as good as on flat screen and you cant use screen protector and case as well because case will push your screen protector off from phone.
                      About the camera Onepplus 6 camera is good enough. Time when phone camera beats DSLR camera from brands like Cannon or Nikon is not even close by and if you print your photo on a printer it will be ugly.
                      For IP68 offered by samsung i can use a water resistant case for just 5 from wish or alliexpress site.
                      Rest is crap as anything else made by Samsung who adds nothing special worth the money they asking for their phone.
                      Oneplus offers more ram bigger battery more disk space and constant updates.
                      You dont need to wait year for oreo like user of brand new S8 when it was released.
                      Samsung have highest production among all competitors but lowest support among all competitors. It was always like this. You cant expect anything else because once the product is sold they just ignore you.

                        Because any of offered bloatware by company for example heart scanner by Samsung can be downloaded for free from android store and a lot more simillar apps to be chosen from which most of them are much better than Samsung made app.
                        For skins as well anything can solve google play.
                        Like we have enough rubbish on planet you want some more :-)

                                      Anyone of them dont have SD845 latest GPU and 8GB Ram.
                                      Noone of them have a 256GB variant as well.
                                      For the rest i dont care.
