Love the way how the Note has slim bezels which looks so pleasing than most others including notches.

    I'm Chinese and your comment is spot on.

        Note7 owner, 29 Nov 2018If they are willing to sell why not buy it. Maybe Samsung c... more"Samsung could pay their workers more money so they don't need to seek other means to make money"

        This is a stupid comment. Samsung is not forced them to work for samsung. It is their choice to work under samsung. If they don't like the salary, just quit, but don't steal. It is a poor little excuse for stealing. And, Ibx, don't live your life with this piss poor attitude. No amount of money can satisfy greedy people. They want to get more and more.

                I've argued against these and the other side seems to have their own twisted "reason". The counterargument is that patent owners are just as greedy and refuse to rationalize prices for poorer countries to benefit. Governments will put the welfare of their own people first - these acts support industries that feed their people - not about living comfortably, but people who struggle to have decent life. This mindset is why patent cases can drag on in China while the industries continue using the designs.

                  good for samsung these chinese companies that keeps on releasing knock offs and bad quality devices should be penalize.

                                Why is this even important when Samsung's creation of unsafe work environments and hiding it for over a decade is much more newsworthy than this laughable "theft of secrets"???

                                Why is there no mention of Samsung reaching a final settlement with cancer-stricken employees for bad work conditions???? After 10 years of fighting with them in court!!!!

                                    End of the day majority of the devices you all use to post here are made in China anyway, lol, thank them for your device not costing +$5000.

This is a state-sanctioned pervasive operation where the CCP encourages and funds the theft while claiming to be a responsible global trade partner.

                                        It is the deception and flagrant "whatever it takes" mantra that makes Chinese stealing particularly nauseating. Other companies do it on the realization that it'd hurt their image and regulators will be impartial if they're found out.

                                        The Chinese do it on the realization that no one in Beijing will raise an eyebrow. Rather, they'd get an "attaboy" pat on the back, a nice check of state loan, and protection from litigation in the largest consumer market on the planet.

                                        You can call it racism, that changes nothing. We're nerds here, not college art liberal snowflakes.
