Here, look at this, this video explains all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUaJ8pDlxi8
Yes, for you Samsung might be bad, but Apple is 1 million times worser.

As every time I reply to someone, in my context, it was just to refute someone who accuse a company they don’t like of some thing, but blindly support the company they like, despite both doing the same mistake. Just for the record, I did not mean Samsung blaming users for two months before removing note7 from the market. It was just the beginning like you explained.

and stupid Nintendo just look at stupid and silly design of switch the off axis of shocks can make holding it really hard and make your hand painful in less than an hour or if you disconnect joy-cons to use them individually as controller your hand would be so cramped tat is really unimaginable!
so yeah i guess you trust a company which being aware of it's product flaw wont do any thing!

Well the Note 7 situation began again.
After few weeks samsung will unveil theses devices just to cancell them.
Nothing new.
When comes to perfection we must go and look elsewhere.
Samsung is no longer the company we should trust.

they also need to fix the screen glitching between the two screens that refresh at different times causing a weird lag/banding effect down the middle when scrolling (As the unfolded screen is actually 2x physical screens made to work as one with SW).

I used to debate a lot with blind apple fans, who didnt get how Apple is fleecing the public by keeping prices so high that it is no longer justified.
Now I'm realizing that Samsung fans are even worse. They tend to defend everything Samsung does, even when the company has clearly changed its market and now only targeting the high end Apple customers where the margins are higher whereas the Chinsese companies like Huawei, One Plus, Oppo and Vivo are selling similar phones on similar polatform at half the price.
Some of the fans are now commending Samsung for honesty. What honesty? That they were prepared to dish out a $2000 foldable phone to market which has a serious flaw that
it has a very high chance of developing screen issues within few days! I can't believe that Samsung was not aware that the issue exist. The only thing they didn't anticipate was that it will develop so soon.
The fans are now giving pathetic excuses like someone purposely damaging the screen. And why the cover was removed etc. What do you think the cover that is provided by Samsung will last how many months? Is it scratch proof? So even if we buy this excuse that the cover should never be removed, will the phone be render useless after few months as you can't even change the cover?
if Samsung was honest, rather than publishing such a big PR statement and giving excuses like cover was removed etc, they would have simply stated that their product is still not up to mark and they will get back when it is ready. Even that won't be the complete truth however as Samsung knows that the problem is far bigger and the design is such that it can never be consistent and durable like a normal smartphone.
However when they will relaunch this disaster of a phone, they will still charge $2000 when when they know that the phone at best would last for 6 months without developing problems.

Samsung might have become a mockery but..... Remember the Galaxy note 7. They will bounce back because they are the best.

That my ipad will bend if I sit on it?
My iphone 4 with the antenna gate was given a bumper to prevent signal drop for a few months before I received a revised version as a replacement.
My mate's 6 plus was replaced under warranty when he sat on it and bent it.
I don't trust either company! Samsung re-released the Note 7 after the initial response after apparently they fixed it. Then it started catching fire again! And then they recalled it! So no. I don't trust Samsung.
Fatal flaws and design flaws are different things and require different actions
A phone that will bend is different to a phone that explodes and a phone having poor signal when holding with your left hand is different to a phone that breaks in 2 days.
You'd expect more from 2 of the biggest companies in the world though. It's disappointing to see such flawed products.
Even the Huawei nexus phone was absolute trash breaking on its own. What happened then? Or LG with the bootloop? So no I don't trust any company.
If there's one company I trust this is Nintendo.
