Ryne Hager, Android Police:
The touchscreen on your phone is the primary way you interact with it, so it absolutely needs to work. That makes problems like so-called “dead zones” or ignored/unregistered inputs among the most annoying out there. Based on reports, many are running into those types of touchscreen input problems with Samsung’s Galaxy S9+.
It’s tough to tell precisely how common the problem might be. Few users are as apt to report issues as Pixel-purchasers, so we can’t quite compare things against our coverage for Google’s hardware. But from what we have seen in places like Reddit, it’s reasonably widespread.
Yikes.
Now could you imagine the news media today if this was an Apple product?
Samsung walks away clean from a product recall involving exploding devices. They’ll walk away from this untouched. While Apple gets put to the pastures for iPads that get warmer than previous iPads (iPad 3).
Forever graded on a curve. Not entirely unlike Brock Turner.
I am shocked that these aren’t the absolute pinnacle of quality…
Wait, no I’m not.
