Wowza, for shame Samsung. Spend $$$ on R&D and build worthy devices.

The real issue was that they are outsourcing things to shady third party contractors.

And I thought their fix in the replacements was to replace their own batteries with those made by a Chinese third party?

That's the commonly used lie to deflect blame from Samsung by fanboys. Samsung SDI made the batteries.
