That what they get for being dumb, yeah flooding the market with your devices will get you recognition but when you have like 5 different versions of the same device your just asking for problems. They have so may different devices the can't even update half of them, only the latest versions. Not to mention the same crappy design for 3 times in a row for their flag ship device. I could see this happening a long time ago and I don't see how they were this blind to it happening. Hope they take some tips from the meizu mx pro with its touch fingerprint scanner like Apple's iphone!

I was a big galaxy s fan until the 3rd which didn<t offer much more then s2 and now chose Lg flex over galaxy note 3 because Samsungs puts so much software in their phones that the system is always slow after you start adding the apps you really want.
