Samsung says only a few Galaxy S5 cameras are defective

28 April, 2014
The company didn't give an exact number but has taken steps to prevent the issue in new devices.

Full batch of 1300 GS5 gold were recalled by Samsung themselves from Mtel Bulgaria last Monday, due to a manufacturing defect.I suppose it was the camera one, cos we had lots of devices returned with camera not working.

Another common problem with GS5 it seems is that the battery overheates for no reason.Low number of devices are having their anti-scratch/resist coating falling off the glass.

You claim that Apple give updates to it's every phone. So, where is the full-time update for of iOS 7 for my iPhone 4S, notice I write 4S not 4? Also keep in mind that there are only handful of devices from Apple to date while Android, there are like an army of smartphones. Good luck getting updates for each...

        Anonymous, 28 Apr 2014Ehh, Apple? The iPhone 4 is four years old and still receiv... moreNot really no. It does not have full ios 7, and ios 7 is no where near android in features. So it's not really comparable. Apple only have a few devices running ios, so keeping them "updated" should be extremely easy. Very usefull if you would rather a newer OS version rather than a more useful OS.

        What anyone else would understand was, he wanted ABADDON to name any other (android) company which keeps software updates going that long.

                      Yeah trust Samsung is not like they have never been caught corrupting analystic companies to show different results for their sales, bullied costumers to not tell other people about defective units that caught on fire whilst charging ,lI ed about factories condition,pay people to write fake reviews bashing their competitors and praising their products , have for chairman an convicted fraudster , manipulated their own sales and shipments reports etc.
                      Trust thy devine Samsung !
