I had a top tier Samsung phone the s22ultra. Within a little over a year the service basically stopped working. Samsung had tons of reports of other s22ultra with the same problem. Samsung basically said no refund no exchange. You can trade it in for 400 towards a new Samsung. This was a 1000+ dollar phone that barely made it past warranty.

I will never ever use a Samsung again. It was my fault for not checking the warranty. I should have known better when a 1000+ flagship phone only has a one year warranty it can't be very good, right?

I now just buy cheap phones cause that experience ruined me. Their support was so bad and they didn't care at all about the forums of people with the exact same issues. I don't know how this company is top seller. This surprises me so much.

I don’t know where you are from, but in the EU and UK, consumers get 4-6 years of hardware warranty, on all tech products. Look into the legislation. I got a MacBook replaced after 5 years.

There is certainly no such legislation in the UK.

Im not sure why are you so certain about it. I am living in the uk and the example I gave about the MacBook happened here. The law in question is the consumer rights act of 2015, specifically section 105. Scroll down on the page and read it. I invoked it 3 times already with different companies successfully.

Section 105 explains explicitly that it's not a warranty:

>For example, the statutory right may not be breached and so a consumer would not be able to obtain a remedy if, say, a very cheap kettle stopped working fully after four years, as a reasonable person might not expect a bottom of the range kettle to last that long.

We’re not talking about a cheap kettle however, are we?

iPhones have only one year warranty in China too. Not sure why.
