Re: Amazing that somehow only Samsung was affected
Of course they're saving face, just spend 10 minutes throwing a few keywords at Google to read up on Samsung's internal culture. Communication with external suppliers and non-Korean workers is in one direction only.
Stupid specs that two battery manufacturers couldn't produce, non-existent QA, dysfunctional management. Everyone seems to have forgotten about the S4's bulging batteries that they fixed by constantly replacing them. Then some bright spark had the idea of making their phones like iPhones at any cost, if the battery weren't shut in it would have popped the back lid open a week or two before going up in smoke.
