Bring back the microSD card, please, and stop trying to copy Apple. Being different from Apple and better is what we all want. You following their footsteps will just make you worse, like Apple.

Also bring back the headphone jack.

Android users DO NOT want to be like iPhone. There's a reason why we are with Android. I should not have to download an app just to switch some buttons around.

Edit: I have found the solution. I'm unable to attach my screen recording but. Under the display section in your settings, scroll down to navigation bar choose which style you like. I typically use the swipe gesture, so if you're like me keep reading. After you have chosen the swipe gesture, tap on more options. This will allow you to customize the way you navigate through your found. I always go for the "swipe from bottom" option.

Also for everyone who is upset for me having an opinion, remember this moment when you have an opinion on something, then start self-reflecting.

I know Samsung for the great phones and the software support they provide. All was well until the March Security update for Galaxy Note 9. Then, a lot of the devices displays started breaking. Displays overheated, and started turning green/yellowish green.

Obviously, a lot of users started complaining regarding this. After all, an issue due to a software update can be fixed by software, right? Apparently not, because sending the logs to their team through the internal bug reporting app led to no answers but generic ones like "Reset your device". Obviously, resetting the device did not work.

This is similar to the display issues plaguing the new Samsung phones like Galaxy S20, but which cannot be fixed by a software update.

Unfortunately, Samsung still does not admit the fault is due to the update, even though this problem is reported by hundreds of users across the world. While trying to find a fix for this problem (when I thought it could be fixed by a software update), I managed to find a telegram group: (edit: removed link due to the group admins' complaint. He suggests to fill up the Google form so that the same can be used against complaints to Samsung. Group link is shared upon successful submission)

Looking through the messages, I found that Samsung asked the users to get their display replaced by paying for it which costs nearly 1/3rd of the price of the phone. Not to mention the Note 9 is a "premium" line of phones marketed by Samsung, and has not even completed 2 years from its launch. For a "premium phone", one would expect the device to last 2 years at the very least, even though the warranty covers 1 year. Not all of the users will buy the phone at launch, so most of the users are now out of warranty -- and the display is broken.

And Samsung is deliberately trying to suppress the issue (possibly to prevent bad publicity during the impending launch of their new phones). When I tweeted to them about the problems that I was facing, Samsung support asked me to DM. When I refused, because the problem needed to be public, they just spit out the link to find a nearest service centre. And then they deleted those tweets. I have had no response since.

2 days ago, when the phone became progressively unusable, I decided to submit the same to the Service Centre. I then get a call saying Samsung has released an internal guideline to all the Service Centres to fix the phones having the issue under warranty, but only if the body is free of any dents. When I asked the technicians to share the document, they refused saying that it's an internal document. This confirms that Samsung knows about the issue, but is deliberately denying users a fix in order to prevent bad publicity. Moreover, asking to fix only the phones without any dents disqualifies most phone owners. Samsung is basically telling the users -- "We will fix the phones only if they are as good as new" -- for a phone which customers have bought since 2 years ago.

One of the post is which was also posted on Reddit at

You can see from the post that Samsung admins tried to delete the post 3 times before allowing it to be published.

I have worked as a Software Engineer at Samsung Noida for nearly 2 years (2019-21). What I have experienced is that Korean employees are treated as masters and we as slaves. Indians have to go through scans, even their bags, while there is a different passage for Koreans with zero checking. Felt like a pain when I used to see this. There is a different food court set up, okay with this but seats are arranged separately from where we Indians sit. They see us as if we are minors. Even their car doors are opened by drivers.

All the key positions are held by Koreans. Even the Department head has no decision-making authorities

I am well aware of how Indians are treated in South Korea. But In India, how can they treat us like this

Edit 0: I see some comments where ppl telling Indians do the same with other Indians. Grow up, man. Every family has issues but won't ALLOW ANY OUTSIDERS TO INTERFERE OR TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY FAMILY

Edit 1: Forgot to mention the sir-madam culture there. Not sure who introduced this but we used to call seniors sir and madam

Edit 2: Not aware of this but someone said VIP toilets for Koreans. Highly likely to be true as I never saw any Korean in the washroom
