More reasons not to buy Samsung.
Seriously Samsung is on a streak here!
Comming up with such an effective way to create a backlash must have been really hard.

    Horrible news. If international ones are affected Samsung will lose the game. Or they should include option to disable ads. Xiaomi lets you to disable all of them. Xiaomi for life.

        It's retarded to even report on this nonsense. But flat earthers rwould know this will never happen, especially on the lockscreen. Only report such nonsense on April 1 please.

        Unless of course they launch an extremely cheap phone that is financed by ads. That is the only way this would even try to exist.

                                    Thats shit , the only reason people are buying samsung is that they are a reputable brand with a clean software ...no china bloatware .
                                    If they are going to do that then am ditching them for apple
                                    They have mid range offerings now that am sure will last more years than any of those samsung phones

                                      I really doubt Samsung would do this it will definetly lose them customers. I guess people saying 2 years of support was a bad thing will now be happy :D
