To be fair, the Samsung that makes appliances has very little connection to the Samsung that makes phones or TVs, aside from the name.

But I otherwise agree. My Samsung washer & dryer will be the last Samsung appliances I ever own.

My last Samsung phone had an annoying habit of hanging up as soon as the proximity sensor decided the phone wasn't up against your face. Turns out that was somewhat common. They did replace the phone, but shortly thereafter I abandoned my Android allegiance and went with iPhone so I wouldn't have to tinker with a device I use as an appliance.

Why would hanging up based on the proximity sensor be a thing? That'd make using the keypad for phone menus nearly impossible, unless you put the phone in speakerphone pre-emptively.
