Samsung quality? Must be a joke. I have an S5 and after one year the AMOLED display started to show signs of a bad burnout. Now the display looks terrible. This phone is supposed to be waterproof, but the USB connector cap broke off after one month and the case now looks like it has been in a war, although I always took great care of it.
Same story with a Samsung Grand Prime. Never worked well and they refused to do any repair under warranty, claiming that I damaged it.

What is the consensus of the market in general about Samsung? I have had a Galaxy 4 for over 3 years now. It is within an Otter protective case. It looks and works as well as the day I bought it. After the 2 year contract ran out last year, I just didn’t feel the need to buy another phone, whether form Apple or Samsung. The additional features were just not compelling enough to spend the dough.

Chances are, neither my nor your experience is typical. However, if my battery starts showing its age, I can pop a brand new one in my Samsung. You cannot do that with an iPhone.

I just got tired of the CEO getting involved in the Gaystapo, global warming, and other leftist causes. Then I come to freerepublic and get this bunch of paid Apple boosters or insiders who are such obvious Apple cheerleaders that they are pretty far from independent. Of course they never disclose their conflict of interest before writing their Apple cheerleading notes. Kind of the way the media does when they report on politics with a huge bias for Democrats. That’s a big turnoff too.
