I did mailed LG officials, but they replied with their usual automated replies. Honestly, I really don't like waiting or grinding to get things done when in fact I'm in the obligatory side. I could easily send it for third party repairs, but for a device under warranty, I better get my god-damn service. 😶
LG never followed up properly, so I rest my case.
At the end of the day, I learned 1. To never buy phones which don't have a functional service centre near me. 2. EU consumer rights are a thing.

Competing tablets like the Galaxy Tab S7+ have excellent build quality.
It's strong and resilient enough to be called a premium tablet.
My father is extremely satisfied with its quality and performance.

You can test a couple of products frpm every batch and if all the units pass the quality check than that batch is good to go. And for the untested devices sold to the consumers there is something called a WARRANTY.

Ram and touch defects are common on apple defects caused because of that.
This kind of a defect can occur even after the two years warranty period and that is concerning. At least apple have acknowledged the issue thankfully,otherwise it is very expensive repair cost out of warranty.

OwnFix3, 06 Dec 2020I mailed them, they didn't follow up. Where are you from? If you brought your phone from a service provider, give the phone to them and by a law they are obligated follow the further procedures. Sending the phone for a repair or giving you a new unit.
Atleast thats how things work in Germany and every EU country. But if you brought it from an third party online retailer that you need to fight go get them.
I've had a situation with my tab s4 I've brought from ebay with two years warranty, after sending the tablet four times the repair center was unable to find the defect. But after almost a month of fighting I've received a 170% refund and kept the tablet, luckily the defect was in the software so after the latest update the tablet is working excellent😄

[deleted post]Oh yeah, you really got me with this bullet proof argument dude. Really can't dispute it in any possible way... God I've never expected I'd see so many "no matter what" Apple hatting dense mofos as here on GSM Arena. One could just write "Apple" into an article, nothing else and you fruitcakes would rush in and start screeching about Apple. My god, get a freaking life.

Anonymous, 06 Dec 2020Apple cheats it's customers by giving cheap build qual... moreThe ipads are far better priced than the iphones. Also, better than what the competition offers, in entry level category anyway. For example, the entry level ipad 2020 is far better than Galaxy Tab S6 lite or S5e. And cost the same. If I am not mistaken, the Galaxy Tab S5e even cost a little more (and is a 1 year old model).
Not a fan of Apple ecosystem (I deleted 2 Apple ID's in the last 2 years, lol), but if I ever have to buy another tablet, I will definitely buy an entry level ipad, than those "toys entry level Android tablets". lol.
Of course, not talking about the Galaxy Tab S7/S7+ tablets. Those are other stories.

The iPhoney 11 is having touch issues because they're touching it wrong. They're only supposed to use fingers that have been washed and cleaned with Apple's iWash soap that costs $99.99.
