| Quote: | Samsung's Galaxy Note 4 went on sale this week in its home market of South Korea, but some of those who have already taken delivery of the company's new flagship aren't very happy with their purchase. A number of owners have complained that their devices have an uneven fit around the display, with a sizeable gap between the glass front and the handset's frame, at one edge.
As IT Today reports, numerous buyers have described how the gap is large enough to slot in a business card or a couple of sheets of paper into it. On some handsets, the gap is at the top or bottom; on others, it can be found along the left or right edges of the display.
As with the iPhone 'bentgate' issue, we must sound a note of caution, and point out that the number of users reporting this imperfection on the Galaxy Note 4 is tiny (although given that Samsung has sold only around 30,000 units so far, the proportion of handsets affected by the problem will be much larger than with 'bentgate').
Given that Samsung plans to rapidly expand availability of the Galaxy Note 4 to 140 markets in the next four weeks, this is clearly a headache that the company would much rather do without. Nonetheless, it's hard to imagine how Samsung will explain this as anything other than a manufacturing issue, but we'll have to wait and see how it addresses the problem. |
Let's see how many troll Crapsung.

Not much coming out of this, as nobody would expect perfect build quality from Samsung anyway...

and ?
one makes phones from cheap plastic but charges a fortune for them
the other makes them from cheap recycled aluminum, that bends under pressure less then 15KG
the only good phones around where from nokia , but this company died under the pressure of cheapness in large scale, or derpnes from apple fans ... Nokia made phones that where luxury for cheap ... and no one wants a outsider

But if you put a case on it then the problem is solver and the users are probably holding it wrong. 
But honestly, fail and let's see how widespread this will be. >.<

32GB Note 4 costs €720, 16GB iPhone 6 Plus is €800.
Granted, it's less storage, but I think they're both equally absurd. Apple does take the cake with a €1065 128 GB iPhone 6 Plus though. |

Those are the actual prices here. Doesn't matter anyway, in USD they're still absurd prices.

There are always other brands with the same specs and lowers costs
Xiaomi
Oppo
OnePlus One
Vivo Play
ZTE Nubia
Meizu
People always stick with ''well known'' brands, but they still pay way to much
