Iv got a samsung galaxy s6 as has my wife and we have had a range of samsung smart phones between us over the years without any problems, Iv also got other samsung products including tvs that iv also never had any problems with, I also have sony products and I wouldnt say they are better or worse as they do what they were made for like the samsungs.
As for reliability everything has worked fine for me without any explosions or even breakdowns
