I'm not surprised since I've seen the quality of Samsung going downhill for years. Even such things as the stupid blotware Kies and Kies air instead of just allowing you to connect the phone like a USB thumbdrive. I've rambled on about Samsung phones in the comment sections of various sites for years.
The last Samsung phone I bought was an S5 I still have it I skipped the S4 before that it the S3 which was not bad except for the screen glass quality.
I was impressed by the S2 the glass is nearly indestructible even my elderly dad with his pocket full of change and car keys never scratched the screen.
A replacement S3 I managed to scratch about a week after getting it but before that my original S3 screen cracked from end to end suddenly. When I was at Starbucks the barista said "Hey mine did I that too!" her phone had the same exact crack pattern S shaped top right to lower left.
This overall quality problem at Samsung shouldn't be a surprise. But really any modern phone cramming so much into a small thing with an enormous amount of energy crammed into a battery something had to give maybe Apple is next?
If you could point me to a smartphone that had an enormous amount of energy crammed in to the battery I'd be delighted. Would buy on of those today for sure.
Meh, my experience was the opposite - S2 died quickly, S3 was slow and with bloated software, Note 4 was and still is great. But anecdotes about one or two people's experience don't prove anything.
