Samsung Galaxy S7 & S7 Edge Come With Malfunctioning Buttons; Get The Fix Here And Find Out More
Now, I will be the first to say I always love experimenting with the latest technology, including smartphones however this article highlights why I will always have an iPhone in my phone arsenal. I went out and purchased a Galaxy S7 Edge and experienced the exact issue noted in this article. The buttons stopped working! In addition to that, I also experienced the "Camera Failed" issue which is widely reported on Android forums.
Before Android only enthusiasts read this and chime in, I must note that I own both iPhone and Android products and from a computing perspective both a Macbook and Windows operated laptop. I am not an "Apple Fanboy" and simply want to praise Apple for consistently producing products that "work". I have never experienced issues as significant as this with an iPhone, ever. Sure I have experienced some minor software issues that have been fixed fast but nothing that hampers the user experienced like losing the use of buttons and the camera. Now I know some may be thinking "What about bend-gate?" - honestly, that was a non issue to me, of course any smartphone is going to bend with enough pressure so I never had any concerns around that. I can't think of a single time where my iPhone buttons didn't work or I went to take a photo and couldn't, etc. Never one time I have experienced a "significant" issue after buying a new iPhone.
Yes, Samsung will resolve these issues with a software update but I ended up returning the device. I experienced these issues on DAY ONE and it totally soured the experience for me. If it had been something like periodic browser crashes, even the odd reboot then I would have kept it but losing volume and power button functionality was a total pain in the a$$. And, going to take a photo and experiencing "Camera Failed" and having to reboot was too. By the time is finished rebooting, the photo op is gone.
In saying this, I have a Samsung Note 5 and LOVE IT. It isn't going anywhere but neither is my iPhone 6s. Maybe Apple does need to increase innovation (feels a little stale as of late) and produce some new mind-blowing hardware (the design hasn't changed much, not that it necessarily needs to) but at the end of the day they are producing fantastical hardware with software that for the most part is free of significant user hampering issues. Like many I know who have iPhones say - "it simply works". And I agree, it does.....it works well.
