It just goes to show that when you try to pump out millions of devices using human beings and man-made machines, mistakes can happen.

Only difference here is that you won't see Apple send out tweets or make a commercial about it.

Stay classy Samsung

Galaxy Note 4 screen separation issue reported in South Korea | BGR

"Might" have a manufacturing issue. If about as bad internet uproar over #bendgate. Lets hope they get it straightened away. Never good when the consumer loses.

I would be quite surprised if this gets even a fraction of the attention as "bendgate".

We all know that it won’t. Why? IMHO, it’s because the Android platform is severely inferior, and therefore, cannot be held to the same high standard as the iPhone platform.

I disagree, but hey that's your opinion. What is in question here is hardware not iOS/Android. Bit of a stretch.

No one's going to bash Samsung for this, maybe except Apple...

Probably not, but why not? Isn't it the same thing as all the "bendgate" hype? Failure is failure. Bad design? Poorly executed manufacturing?

Why aren’t both devices/platforms held to the same standards? Could it be that the world just expects more from Apple? Or is it a matter of haters pointing out flaws, real or imagined?

Apple attracts more bashers because it has a bigger target on its back.

Why go to trouble to stir up "gates" about a particular Samsung product that few have even heard of?

I jokingly asked my wife if she wants a note and she said "what's that?" Exactly.

On the other hand, everyone knows what the iPhone is. Anything Apple generates hits and buzz for websites. The mainstream media carries these stories because they know their audience will eat it up.

My EVOD has a gap in it just like the one described, the thread does not seem to have been machined right. Also it is makes it look bent, almost imperceptible, but I see it all the time.

I had zero issues with either the Note 2 or 3 when I used them aside from my preference for iOS. But I'm not going to lie and say I don't in the least find this amusing when Samsung almost tripped over themselves because they couldn't rip Apple fast enough.

If your product is as good as you say, you don't need to focus the majority of your marketing on ripping your competitor and its users.

I personally find all of these "____gate" things to be very dumb and juvenile. It doesn't matter what company is in the cross hairs, it's always equally dumb.

The Gappening.

Anyway, kinda funny to see the rabbit with the gun now. Of course no one will care about this since nobody lined up for the Note 4.

I find it funny though that Samsung started pushing these out for earlier releases in some places because of how they crapped their pants about the 6 Plus being so wanted.

Note 4 owners with a gap in their phone might care.
