I am just wondering if someone has had this line of thought before. Whenever I have a phone from Samsung that is Made in Korea, I get the best quality, phones durability is higher, etc. Meanwhile, if you happen to get a phone from Samsung that is Made in Vietnam it does seem as if they are made with less quality checks and materials, they seem to crash more, etc. Just arrived into that assumption since I work at a service provider retail location and ever since the S7 and S7 edge are been made in Vietnam, phone returns are up, customer satisfaction is not quite on par with those when the "phone was Korean". Please comment your experience and opinion below.

Got mine delivered today via ups.
box says made in china. Kinda of disappointed but sorta knew it was coming.
I also have a 32gb black AT&T S4 thats made in Korea, the 1st white 16gb AT&T ver I had was also korea.
what's others experiences?
is your Google Edition made in China, Korea, or Vietnam?
btw, my battery also says made in Korea on my AT&T ver, I have a feeling my google edition battery will be china as well as the phone.
Don't ask me why does it matter? let me ask you if you mind of your BMW was made in Germany it's home country or Mexico?
How about if your Honda was made in Japan vs. China? you get my point.
If it's real I wouldn't care where it's made.

Can you dump the whole ROM for us?
Yes.. Whole rom dump would be nice.

Shouldn't matter too much. I imagine the Chinese made ones will get lower binned screens which is usually the case when manufacturing and/or assembly originates from different countries.

Good is not Vietnam made, i think vietnam made ones are the worst.
I don't understand the problem where it is made like example Toyota is from Japan or Hong Kong I don't know but they have factorys everywhere what is the problem?

Not necessarily a problem. Some people are anal retentive, OCD or whatever. Some people are Korean like me but that has little to do with me wanting a Korean phone. I'd prefer a Korean made one over the other countries for a couple reasons. Korean workers get paid more so might have an incentive to care more about their handy work. Kind of reverse nationalism. Samsung is Korean company so their is some value to that made in Korea stamp as samsung wouldnt want Korea's reputation as a whole tarnished. Another reason as mentioned before, Korean made phones more than likely get the higher binned screens and possibly higher binned SOC's. Not really proven, but from personal experience and paying attention to the details in Samsung phone threads, excluding Google nexus Samsung phones, it appears their is less whining about the quality of amoled from the Korean made phones. And last, I try to avoid Chinese made stuff even when it is just contracted out for the dirt cheap labor. Nothing against china personally,but I hate seeing capitalism at it's worst, and I'd like to see manufacturing expand elsewhere, especially the USA. I am holding out right now to see if Motorola comes with it with their next batch of phones. If they meet my most important expectations I would much rather support united states labor seeing as how bad our economy is. The downfall to this though it is still an assembly/factory worker job. It will probably pay $9-12 an hour, be 12 hour shifts @ 4-7 days a week, little room to work up the ladder, little incentive to be a career job, low chance of raises and quite frankly, many of the workers in fort worth that do get hired will care very little for quality control, especially if they crack the whip and give some BS incentive to be "more productive", for example a phone with obvious dead pixels will get pushed out anyways instead of screen swap or recycle bin.

Anal retentive? Lol
Me Gusta!
After Lenovo bought Moto, the price will be lower?
Its already at a good price . Not sure if price drops will happen any time soon .
If anything seeing the popularity in Indian Market...They might consider increasing the price LoL.
And I don't think Lenovo would want to do anything different from whatever moto is already doing..Since moto is having quite a good rep for its devices in US......they don't wanna take risks with that Since some americans get bothered by Chinese manufacturers

Actually Google has bought a percentage of Lenovo, so I don't think so.

Was strolling through on eBay and stumbled across...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/112045790205
Someone selling new, factory unlocked G-935F models for $29.99?? Pretty sure it's too good to be true. Maybe a typo. Maybe they're stolen. Who knows. I guess if anyone wants to chance it, go for it!
Maybe it's the shipping price but to be sure, just message him and confirm it.
I just bought one . Let us see what will happen next

It's definitely a scammer. I tried to get an Asus Watch for $30 before and the person had 100% feedback. The account sold tens of them and even provided me with a USPS tracking number for a package that was delivered on the west coast. Turned out someone hijacked their account and I never saw the watch
It could be one of those fake phones that look exactly like the S7/S7 Edge.
Might be worth holding on to it after all.

"In an effort to make up for its Galaxy Note 7 blunder, the company is reportedly considering Note 7 customers a discount offer on next year's Samsung Galaxy S8, S8 Plus and Galaxy Note 8 (if the company doesn't kill the Note series entirely.) The source of the report adds that the discounts would also target customers who have since refused to return their Note 7s thus far, with only 10 percent of about 500,000 sending the fire prone devices back."
I hope mine survives till then lol. But that's exactly what I've been waiting for them to announce.
There's no other phone I want to replace mine with right now.

When the note 8 comes out I promise you people will start saying it's catching on fire. We will be lucky if it isn't immediately canceled and the line renamed. There are still lots of note 7s out there and yet we are no longer hearing about fires. A great deal of those claims were bogus. There definitely was a screw up by Samsung and all and it needed both recalls and the subsequent cancellation but why are we not hearing about any more fires? I've searched and searched and seen nothing. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but companies have been caught sabotaging others before. I don't believe that happened here but I am concerned about the note 8 with fraudulent lying *****es and at the very least the .00000000000000000001 percent chance of someone trying to cause a recall. Again. I don't believe there was or will be any company conspiracy but I'm just saying, there were bogus claims proven to be false and we are no longer hearing of any more fires...the damage of people claiming their note 8 burns up would be even worse then this time.

I still have mine and not planning on returning unless I'm forced to, but I think one reason why you haven't heard of any phones catching on for us because supposedly 85% of phones have been returned.
I personally agree with you and seeing how I have yet to have any issues with mine, I think some of those claims were bogus.

Mines has worked flawlessly. Doesn't even get hot. I alternate between this and the S7 edge. Its almost the same to be honest

Hi guys! My n4 just crashed on me and now im wondering whether i Should buy an s7e now or use my reserve n3 and wait for the s8 to come out.what do you guys think?
Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-N930F met Tapatalk
Depends on you.
Both are valid choices.
S7 edge is still one of THE Best smartphones on the Market (at least in the Top 2-3), and the Price is pretty appealing atm. 570-600€ here in germany.
However, the S8 will of course be better. But.... Rumors claim, it will start at 849€. That's almost 300€ difference + you have to wait.
Which means, that will be a whole other Priceclass.
So, how much would you like to spend? Rather 600 or rather 900?
If you have the patience, then wait. If like me you don't have the patience, then buy the S7 Edge.
So far I'm not liking the rear fingerprint sensor. No home button is fine but I wish the sensor was on the front as first rumored.
Hopefully they might fix it on the S9.
Also, I read yesterday that the smaller, but still bigger than S7E, S8 will have a 3000mah battery, which doesn't sound good either.
I'm glad I got the S7E at launch, it fixed the issues of the 6, so maybe 9 will be better again.
I would get an S7E today rather than wait for S8.
wait for ir till it blasts in ur pants
The way I see it, even after the S8 launch, the S7 edge will, for a while, remain the better phone overall, from a user-experience perspective:
-It's rootable! The S8 probably won't be for a while without breaking some features/stuff. It will take time
-The community (thanks XDA!) already got around most of the protections/limitations Samsung implemetented for the S7
-The many tweaks/ROMs/Kernels available. With the S8, you'll be stuck with the stock, bloated ROM for a while
-The S7 is running on Nougat (So it's not like the S8 will bring a totally new and different user experience. The S7 isn't running on outdated software)
-The S7 is not by any means a slow phone, even by 2017 standards (There's stagnation in the SoC department)
The better phone doesn't always have the better, faster and most recent hardware as far as I'm concerned... As someone who likes to experiment with my phone, try stuff, get the best out of it, go beyond what the manufacturer allows, I always prefer a ~1-2 yo flagship phone that benefits from a big, helpful and dedicated community Vs. the newest shiny toy
That's something I've learned with the years: Always get the *~6-7-8 months old phone. It will be cheaper, and it will already have all the cool stuff by the time you get it!
I'm waiting for the Note 8. It's going to be hideously expensive, but Samsung simply can't afford to get it wrong in any way. It'll be worth it IMHO.
The S7 Edge can be gotten on fantastic deals at the moment, and that will only get better the older it gets and especially once the S8 is released. Yet despite its age it is still one of the best on the market. I mean, seriously, what Android phone out there is demonstrably better, despite the S7E being 10 months old? Nothing really.
The key question you need to ask is what the S8 will bring to the table that the S7 Edge doesn't currently offer. If those things aren't important, you could save yourself 30%-40% per month with an S7 Edge, plus with no upfront fee.

Your totally right man. Plus thr fact that probably most if the s8 festures will be portable to the s7e and so on trough custom roms ^^

Thats easy.
Wait for the S8 of course.
Buying a device right near the end of its life cycle makes no sense in my view...you buy them on launch day not when the next model is coming out lol.
And not that it isnt a great device because it is but with the S8 literally right around the corner a person would have to be nuts to buy a year old device ( unless you had no spare device of course).
Id wait and it would be an easy decision.

No. What makes no sense is buying a new device simply because it's a new device without looking at what it brings to the table. The S8 on launch day will cost at least 30% more than an S7 Edge, and you will be expected to pay an up front cost.
I would wait for s8 to release. After few reviews would compare price and what you get for your money and then decide if its worth buying. Also with s8 releasing the price of s7e should drop. My opinion is that s7e should be good for another two years of running

Fortunately I am in a position that cost isnt a factor for me.
But your right i wouldnt buy a new device simply because its new....it needs to appeal to me. In the case if the S8, besides a more powerful SoC and better camera they had me when the 6.2" screen was mentioned.
Thats my major issue with the S7 edge, the screen is too small for my liking for my personal device. Once the S8 drops the S7 edge will become my new work phone and I can retire my ancient S6 and use it for music in the gym when I train.
See theres a method to the madness :good:

You didnt mention cost when you posted so I considered it a non issue, if you already know its out of reach for you financially why even bring it up?
That said, dont sell yourself short....it won't be available until April...that is ton of time to save up for one. :thumbup:
Cost not being a factor isn't the point, otherwise I wouldn't have brought it up.
