Samsung Just Can’t Catch a Break, But Let’s Not Joke About It

Samsung has been making some of the all-time flagship smartphones for years. Truthful, its 'TouchWiz UI', at present named 'Samsung Experience UI' is the exact opposite of what I like in Android phones, and it slows things down a lot, but but looking at Samsung's hardware, it's top notch. It'south stuffed with technology, and innovative (mostly useful) features.

Lately, however, it seems as though the South Korean giant just tin can't catch a pause. The company is suffering through multiple issues, and even though I really dislike their smartphones (only considering of the UI), I can't help only feel bad about it.

2016: Samsung launched the Note 7 to much fanfare. On height of other awesome features, it came with an iris scanner. People were loving the smartphone, and everything seemed to be going but fine; until it wasn't. A Annotation 7 caught fire. Then another, and another. Before nosotros knew it, the Annotation seven was defenseless in an elaborate drama that rocked through the earth. Samsung made a think, airlines banned the phone from existence carried in flights. Samsung pushed an update to essentially brick all the Notation seven smartphones out in the wild — for security reasons.

For months, the company was the butt of all the jokes in the world of technology. Fire jokes, blast jokes, jokes about how Samsung phones could be used at the New Yr instead of fireworks and and then on. Not gonna lie, they were funny when they started, just they got insensitive and boring afterwards a while.

The new Samsung Milky way 7 is water resistant, which comes in handy when you're trying to extinguish it from being on fire.

To cap things off, Samsung too got stuck in a major bribery example — a case that, past the mode, resulted in Due south Korea's kickoff woman President getting impeached, and Samsung's de-facto Chairman, Lee Jae-yong getting jailed.

2017: All eyes were on Samsung to run across how the world's biggest manufacturer of smartphones came back from the Note 7 fiasco. Samsung showed off the S8 — a beautiful, bezel-less telephone, which in my stance, is ane of the virtually cute phones out there. People made more battery jokes, just the S8 didn't have problems; in fact, it had the best camera, the best display, the best design. And and then, we neared IFA, and Samsung launched the Notation viii. Nosotros knew what to expect — a similar 'Infinity Display' design language, and more 'stuffed to the skirt with tech' features.

For a moment, everything was fine. The Annotation viii had no fiery bug, and didn't first blowing upwards people's cars merely because it was hot within. Samsung seemed to be on track for a perfect twelvemonth, and oh what a comeback information technology had been.

But and then, it happened once again. Battery problems, it seems, have taken a liking to Samsung's flagships. The Notation 8 (at least some units) got bricked if the battery reached 0%. That'due south but plain weird. Samsung ignored the outset few problems — no blame there, these things happen — but then the complaints started rising in a manner reminiscent of last year's Annotation 7 debacle, and Samsung had to take note (no pun intended).

The situation is still developing, and we can only gauge why this happened to the Note 8, but as of now, Samsung is having some really poor luck with its Annotation series. The worst part is, this phone really deserves to be out there — it's a corking device. I yet don't like the UI, just the telephone has everything i would want in a flagship smartphone, and the camera, as Samsung's cameras always are, is meridian-notch.

In 2016, we all made fun of Samsung for screwing upward the Note 7 battery. In 2017, Samsung put its batteries through even more rigorous testing, with some reports saying that the company destroyed three% of its batteries every calendar month while testing. Samsung did everything right, or at to the lowest degree did everything it could recall of doing to ensure its phones were perfect. Something withal got messed upwardly, and we don't yet know what.

What we do know, is that a company like Samsung can bounce back from almost anything. It's crawly like that, only we — as consumers, journalists, and tech-enthusiasts — owe it to the company that gave usa years of great smartphone experiences, to not ridicule them for their failures. Heck, Apple tree made the iPhone X and Apple loyalists will fight you if you tell them the blueprint sucks, the phone is overpriced, and the cameras aren't nearly as good every bit they should've been. Samsung actually deserves fans like that. Subsequently all, everything bated, Samsung's phones are top of the class, and about unbeatable in every aspect.

We're in 2018 at present, and Samsung is gearing upwards to launch the Galaxy S9 very soon. It'll probably not be every bit large a change as the S8 was when information technology kickoff came out, but I'm excited to see how Samsung handles all of the issues from the last two years, and how it bounces back. Here'due south wishing Samsung a bully 2018.
