but there's also a lot of Samsung phones out there to be repaired... So how's the repair rate per capita?
That said, the GS6 is working out the kinks right now. So it's probably wise to not be early adopters.
Yes, there are a lot of Samsung phones in my area, and I considered that. Still I think they deliberately make them that way. People will keep buying Samsung due to the tech specs and marketing.
People claim to barely to drop their Samsung phone, and the LCD goes blank. I've seen the S4 LCD blank out with no visible crack in screen nor LCD. Cleaning the connector fixes them sometimes. I don't see that with iPhones, and iPhones are common here. Samsung phones are buggy, have issues with mics and speakers, buttons, battery issues, heating issues, calling issues, etc. Their charging ports are way more likely to go bad. There are a good number of LG phones in my area, but I've only seen them with cracked screens unlike the plethora of problems I see with Samsung ones.
