    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.

      Yup, Chinese voted with their wallets, so Samsung had to exit their market after Samsung Note 7 double standards fiasco, good for them.
