Slayer, 28 Sep 2014Dude, please do not generalise! Most other companies cannot... moreThey didn't solve the yellow hue in xperia z even the z1 has a yellow hue. Please read my older comments like I said these companies work together as one. All of them have there own flaws and they take us for granted and we don't have the power/right to say "Hey change all the phones because they have flaws." they won't even samsung has issues on purple hue, the s5 blows, htc yellow hue and so on so fort like I told there tons of flaws in android. If the product that kill/harm doesn't recall the phones the bend is just not severe as other problems. You are destroying android fans here that yellow and purple hue has been a problem majority in android units.


If you have a problem with your phone so tell it personally to the CEO of these companies like apple samsung htc and etc and tell them that, I'm sure they won't listen to you.They are the spending much time money just to satisfy us no phone is perfect. "It's a business industry live with it."

        Nokia 930, 27 Sep 2014Like I said in my old comments I agree and believe that the... moreDude, please do not generalise! Most other companies cannot and do not get away with putting sub standard products on the market, only Apple can and get away with and to a lesser extent Samsung. I am calling out Samsung because of my experience with mysterious cracking on the faux aluminium trim of the S3! Sony changed the yellow tint screens on the Xperia Z free of charge and admitted there was an issue. Remember, the iPhone 6 Plus costs almost twice as much as any other phone on the market and if your phone does BEND, only Apple will determine the circumstances and you may very well kiss your hard earned cash goodbye! The trick is this..no problem creating a product with a defect but the key is what you do to remedy the defect and not let your customers suffer! It is called Customer Service. By the way, Samsung's so called service centres are independent and usually service Nokia as well, Samsung's customer service is practically non existent, I know having experienced it or the lack of it, more precisely. Funny, the two companies that ship the most handsets are the two that take customers for granted....!

It's business industry that's why people sell products in general I use your word all product in this world sell/ manipulating people into buying this products." It's a business industry" try reading snoopy comments he said one of the secrets.

                        Carol, 27 Sep 2014You know, i kind of start to understand you, but what is wr... morelike I said again and again and again. Can you please read my simple comments all over the page of this thread. Anyway, If you can't clearly see it " Let them solve the problem." Apple Bending, Samsung and HTC and even Sony Bend break issue. Like "Snoopy said" again and again It's business industry and yes they all work together as one, You might see it not but to gain profit/ maximize profit phone companies "work as one" these companies can make all the same specs if they want it to. We don't have the right to control them because "they are the ones who are creating. spending so much time, spending so much money to create this product just to "satisfy us consumers" can you make a phone to these billions consumers? think about that it's not easy to handle that task not because these companies have flaws like Samsung, Htc and Sony bend break and apples bending it's an issue but not as severe as it is we're also talking 9 of 10million who bought these product and the video has been exposed to be fake because of the timelaps of the watch even "MArques Brownlee explain it un biased as he can that guy is an android fan but explained it with an educated manner. Sometimes we need to appreciate to what they make and not to greedy with small problems like that. Think about these companies what have they done over the years on making this product. I think I honestly it's hard to satisfy these customer.


                        That's why majority of Nokia like my friend I appreciate what nokia does just to satisfy we loyal customer.

                        like other people say " If you don't like the product there tons of companies there to choose from and not complain because if this flaws."

                        Apple atleast respond on this but for android front jeans bend break, you can never see that they respond it in the public. There many flaws also in android than apple as of nokia I can't any but only bought by Microsoft which I see it's a good move or strategy."

                          Nokia 930, 27 Sep 2014Like I said in my old comments I agree and believe that the... moreYou know, i kind of start to understand you, but what is wrong in your comments? Is your believe in what this giants do. Well, i never saw a company like apple giving a dam about it's costumers. Yeah, they look like they do but let's be serious, they don't. They care about manipulating people into buying their products while earning as much money as they can fit in 100 banks or more. They don't care about their workers to much so let's not exaggerate with caring and improving. Yeah, they saw the problem they know the problem and what they do? Sell them to countries in hopes the people their, never heard of this. Shouldn't they at least pretend they are doing some research and improving their devices? At least pretend cause for sure that will never be done, minding the fact that this will mean: The whole production to change which will mean losses. Allot of them. But hey, they have money, they should care right? And should accept some losses in their greedy pockets and do a proper device, worthy of that "lotto 6/49 winning" price. Yeah right, they do care:)). Even if this phone was made of gold shouldn't cost 1000 euros. So if you still don't understand, it doesn't matter. While you feel pity for a company, i feel pity for this iblind boys paying 1000 for a unstable device that requires special treatment just for keeping it in their pockets. This is just outrageous and pathetic. We just go lower in demands cause is apple and ups, we should all know they are the best, so for sure this is a media against them. No man, this is reality, and i pity this iblind that never saw a problem in their devices just cause was or is apple. Ups, no signal, eah, this is iphone, their is no problem. Ups no batterys after 4 hours, eah, this is iphone, no problem. Ups screen break, eah, this is iphone, still works, ups it bands, eah this is iphone, will bend it back. Wake up people, their devices have the same problems, even more at double the price of what their material and hardware worth, not to mention, in front of the competition.

                                I'm just helping and sharing not bashing or trolling in this issue.


                                Like I said so many times I believe, agreed, understand and etc on this flaws.

                                  Nokia 930, 26 Sep 2014I strongly apologize if you see me as a an apple fan but I'... moreI don't see my phone looking like a brick, and i find nothing to simple in it, so i don't "feel" you... feel me? Also, fashion is fashion and should never interfere with phones. What the hack has to do a phone with tight pants? Let's stay serious please. As for the trend of slim: If you do it... do it right, if it can't be done, don't do it. And as we can all see, Nokia never did a crap bending phone just cause some clueless people want paper-phones. Also, i don't feel the pity,). And again at: if you do it, do it right, just cause there are tests that can be done. And we are not talking about 10 euros device, We are talking about a crap that is soled at 1000 euros. Yeah, i think at that kind of price i have a lot of claims. And where is their testing group? Well there isn't any, that is why their crap phones never have signal, break like cheese and look like nothing else but a bar of soap. For a 1000 euros phone they should use carbon fiber, titan, diamonds, everything that can be done to a case to hold it's ground and deserve this kind of price. But no, they used paper thin aluminum in a paper thin device painted to look premium, and while they pay 100 euros (tops) for it's production you pay 1000. Yeah, i really pity this company, that exploited peoples pockets with their so called premium stuff since it's birth. But i give you that, it's not the company's fault, it's the fans that buy their crap. So i'm done arguing. One thing is for sure, my Nokia's never bended, nor had i the risk of that just cause wearing tighter pants;). But then again, we talk about Nokia, not about some 5 years trend.

                                    samsung provides memory we all know that, sony provides cameras, qualcomm and others provide the soc, Google provides OS. the other stuff is just flashy branding to get buyers so that in the end which ever brand succeeds they get kickbacks as "Royalties" yep they all get a piece of each others pie guys. while we grind each other on blogs they celebrate thier domination of the tech industry jointly.

They will bend and break ... moreexactly. guys if u knew how interlinked this companies are u'll fall of ur chairs. they jointly explore the market, share I deas and design concepts and yes resources to stimulate the buyers. if only u could see the meetings they have u'll trully undestand that all this hype and drama is all part of thier act to get salles. heck they even supply each other with parts eg last gen iphone was using samsung memory modules, sd card tech is patented by Microsoft. so I guess u get my point and start realising that all this fuss is just a marketing move to ensure that thier sales dont flop. apple did good, ans surprisingly sammy will do just as good when they make their next phones available.

                                      chears guys :D
