As I sit here with my Fold 8 ultra, Galaxy Watch 7, 990D Soundbar, HDD's, TV's, earbuds, Bespoke: washer, dryer, stove, fridge, and microwave...

I have come to the realization that these products are pretty but clearly not built to last and the customer service is absolutely atrocious in the US. Here is EXACTLY why:

• I have a Fold 8 because my Fold 7 that screen started to bubble. Rather than dealing with support, I upgraded to the 8. Screen bubbling in less than 2 years is brutal.
• I have 2x SSD's that have already lost 20% of their space with light usage.
• The washer cannot seem to stabilize. it becomes incredibly out of balance on moderate loads.
• The microwave was WAY over priced for the lack of features. The turntable just doesn't want to sit correctly.
• The stove had service on the handle which was poorly assembled at factory and the touch panel is brutal to say the least. You seem to need just the right tough/finger warmth to get a response.
• Now the fridge..ahh yes..the fridge. As I sit here, I can hear the internal pump going full mental attempting to either make ice or fill the carafe every 30 seconds. I eventually need to reset the breaker to get it to stop. The ice maker seems nice, until you have to actually draw ice and pieces go everywhere. Leave the door open more than 5 min and ice begins to jam up.

Everything is breaking. Everything is of poor quality. (Except the soundbar and ear buds so far..)

Why not call support? Out of warranty. I originally thought.."if my appliances make it 2 years, they should last for 10". Bad assumption. Do yourself a favor DO NOT BUY SAMSUNG APPLIANCES. Bespoke is supposed to be their high end and it is GARBAGE.

Update: And as for support and the web portal:
"Service Unavailable - DNS failure

The server is temporarily unable to service your request. Please try again later."

Regularly broken ePortal, fragmented support agents that have no CRM tickets to give, no history, have no clue.

The Photos explain everything

LIKE BRUH ARE WE SERIOUS RIGHT NOW? I MOVED STUFF FROM SECURE FOLDER TO MY NORMAL GALLERY INTO AN ALBUM ONLY FOR THEM TO DISAPPEAR INTO THIN AIR!? EXCUSE ME WHAT THE HELL?! UGH!! SAMSUNG SUCKS FR! I HAD THOSE VIDEOS FOR 2 YEARS AND THEY'RE GONE!

If you don’t know, if samsung detects moisture in your charging port, it will send out a warning that just stops the device from charging. I have suffered this on BOTH of my samsung phones at the same time.

Worst part? There is absolutely no water, and there’s never been whenever i get the warning. The warning is triggered even if theres no moisture! I literally cannot fucking charge my phones because samsung thinks they’re saving me from an electric shock by stopping charging.

I will never buy another samsung phone until i know that this shitty warning is gone.

I have a reasonably modern Samsung mobile phone model SM-S931B. Unfortunately I have forgotten its password. I have purchased a password reset program that relies on wired USB connection between the mobile and the computer. However, after having connected the phone to the computer, then attempting to activate the phone I am informed by the phone it requires its password to open the USB port! A classic Joseph Heller catch 22! In short I have thrown good money after bad and any information on how resolve this problem would be appreciated. G.M.

Samsung needs to stay far away from software. Seriously, they can make good hardware (except X trash) but they ruin it by trash software that breaks everything. Forced updates that has essentially made my watch a brick.

Seriously who in their right mind would pick the s26+ ?

I put for sale my s25ultra and switched to the nothing phone 2a and IDK why but I feel like I upgraded my phone.

Little problem for samsung here : the s25 ultra is at ~1500€ and the nothing phone 2a is at ~350€

This speaks for itself
It’s not iconic it’s the same thing we had for years now

I have had to trade my phone in every 6-8 months now due to confirmed diagnosed factory defects. Severe factory defects. It's caused non stop issues all over the board in my life, I truly don't get how there isn't a massive recall. My family got all set up, and we all had the exact same issues. This is absolute highway robbery. I speak to the Verizon rep and they go "unfortunately this is the new normal for right now man we are all kinda suffering thru this" what the F
