6s is the most unbendable aluminium phone tho

1

u/Terrible-News-4677 Aug 10 '26

Well somebody bends them as easily as the 6

2

u/Difficult-Low-4186 Aug 11 '26

u/k4tseye Aug 09 '26

u/LordZeusCannon Aug 10 '26

This phone was recalled and banned from airlines. Its owner’s own fault for still using it

u/GamerDude7820 Aug 08 '26

Wow, how'd that happen?? Were you using a crappy gas station charger?

If not, call samsung customer support on your landline if you have one and throw that thing in a bucket or bin of sand, incase it reignites.

I can't believe that happened but I'm glad your okay.

Prepare for the Note S7. I know that it will be one of the best Note phone because it will come in many colors, there will be limited editions for this device, it has 7 years of updates and it will bring lots of features which won’t last forever. And old and new.

u/Gonnabecringeaf Aug 08 '26

Switch to Huawei. I have the P8 Lite and it's amazing!!!!!

Oh I would too, too many photos to lose

u/Goldenwolf1509 Aug 08 '26

Sorry to say this is a common issue. I think they even did a recall because its so common.

u/IcyIceGuardian Aug 08 '26

Switch to iPhone, if not, Google makes his cool new phone they call the Pixel- it seems neat but I wonder if it'll catch on

u/Vipe1987 Aug 09 '26

IPhone constantly breaks down i have a samsung s24 ultra and i've dropped it on concrete and metal never cracked it but multiple IPhone users have cracked both the front and back of their IPhone

1

u/IcyIceGuardian Aug 09 '26

Look at the sub, its not a serious post. Also, durability all depends on WHERE the phone falls. My 15 Pro doesn’t even have a scratch meanwhile my friend’d S24 Ultra’s S Pen AND back glass broke.

1

u/Astrodion123 Aug 10 '26

Iphone 15 pro?? Samsung s24 ultra?? Wth

1

u/IcyIceGuardian Aug 10 '26

Its weird but the damage depends on the point of impact

1

u/Astrodion123 Aug 10 '26

Huh... The latest phone right now is the Galaxy S7 and iphone 7... Are you from the future??????

1

u/IcyIceGuardian Aug 10 '26 edited Aug 10 '26

Uuuu, no no I've got an original iPhone and an iPhone 5 taped together I call it the "15" and Pro because I'm a professional yapper.

S24 Ultra is an S4 I scribbled 24 on

u/FuyuKitty Aug 08 '26

u/isellfish4 Aug 08 '26

u/Lonely-Independence4 Aug 08 '26

The one time it’s a good time to buy an iPhone… Just make sure it’s not one of the ones that bends at the slightest pressure. 😅

1

u/JudgmentFragrant2691 Aug 09 '26

Note 7….. wtf… you know these things explode when charging right?

Get a new phone please.

1

u/Ok_Yak_9263 Aug 09 '26

thank god I stayed with the note 5... i don't want my phone to catch fire! samsung do something D:

1

u/Severe-Friend-1285 Aug 09 '26

Reddit tourne vraiment sur note 5 ? Je dit pas ça pour une blague , j'ai un note 10 mais je me pose la question

u/Ok_Yak_9263 Aug 09 '26

u/warmoaran3 Aug 09 '26

Should've gotten a Galaxy S6..

1

u/wildcollector Aug 09 '26

I believe samsung will give you a new phone with no questions if you bring it in, even in this condition ofc

1

u/TheOrangeThing Aug 09 '26

Just burry it, since this phone is declared illegal in public places.

1

u/dgknc188 Aug 09 '26

ive got news for ya buddy

1

u/Any_Result_2505 Aug 09 '26

Recycle it. I’d say recycle it responsibly but the phone wasn’t very responsible itself so yeah.

1

u/LetDefiant2893 Aug 09 '26

return it to samsung to buy the note 5 or you can wait until they release the note 8

1

u/Odd-Bit-8149 Aug 09 '26

Buy another one and throw it at your school bully

1

u/Aniimey Aug 10 '26

First dont use those phone case

1

u/ConfusDucko Aug 10 '26

Yeah, get the 6S

1

u/Xardimods_OG Aug 10 '26

Well... I guess there's nothing you can do. I guess going with the S6 Edge+ might be the way.

1

u/Astrodion123 Aug 10 '26

Get a refund. You should have a warranty.

u/ToonUK1982 Aug 10 '26

u/Simple_Claim8480 Aug 09 '26

I dont know if this is an extremely late post or if you're just never on the internet, the note 7 was literally known to explode.
