This is a minor point, but I'm really glad the article title uses "allegedly". Even if it's quite probable Samsung is guilty here, I'm glad the article doesn't adjudicate the way so many news articles do.

It comes off to me like these sites are scared of Samsung, they are a big player now, with a lot of pull.
AnandTech is not one of those sites:

> Today, we are large enough to avoid these petty discussions of withholding review samples. Most manufacturers know that one way or another we'll get our hands on a product for review and don't try to play these sorts of games. Rarely we are faced with a manufacturer or advertiser who is looking to influence our content. We have a firm internal policy in place to deliver honest, balanced reviews to the best of our ability - regardless of external pressures. Fortunately, as I mentioned earlier, we have been around long enough and are large enough to avoid this being an issue in the vast majority of situations.
