   An official update hard (and permanently) bricked my S8 phone back when it was still the flagship. Samsung refused to fix or replace it because I had moved overseas meanwhile.

   While "technically" valid, this never happened with iPhones despite frequent travels.

   Don't buy Samsung consumer devices.

      I'd never buy a Samsung fridge, but ironically I'm loyal to Samsung phones because they've always worked out well for me and I've had bad experiences with Apple and Google hardware. I'd just never buy one of their smart appliances, or any smart appliance for that matter.
