Phone is made in China

[Carnotaurus]

The same way that they charged me the same for my TV made in Mexico when my brother got the same model made in Asia.

Consumer electronics is an international deal.

If you think that Korean made phones have only Korean parts and Chinese phones don't, I have news - it's not true.

As for sub-par parts - not because of place of origin.

~~~~~~

There is logic to the idea that Bean Town phones may be immune.

This could all possibly be caused by a one or two batches of defects, with the batches showing up in specific locations.

These four things are true whenever one person has a problem and another does not -

Just because it's raining there doesn't mean it's raining here.

Just because it's raining here doesn't mean it's raining there.

It's not raining everywhere.

It's not sunny everywhere.

Multiple youtubes removed, one was indeed sufficient.

There is really no excuses for Samsung. I look at all the LG G2 phones at T-mobile stores and none of the home button felt loose. LG is also a Korean manufacture.

I'm sorry, but it's not true that anyone has ever made any phones with a 0% defect rate.

I agree that all phone makers ought to up their quality control game but they won't.

It's cheaper to let defects slip through and just have consumers return them than it is to test each unit for all things before shipping.

That's Samsung's excuse, it's LG's excuse, it's Sony's excuse, it's HTC's excuse and it's Apple's excuse.

If yours is defective, return it.

It's not happening to everyone.

Can we close this thread as it seems to be more of a political protest of Chinese products than an actual traceable defect? If you want to be political in your purchases that's fine but don't hide behind baseless claims it is a trending problem.

Even if 500 people post here saying their button is loose I would still say that is well within manufacturing standards. If you want absolute perfection than you shouldn't consider a mass manufactured product.

Agreed.

Anyone unhappy with the lock, tap my name, drop me a line, my door is always open.

Cheers!
