I came from a long line of Droids which I liked overall well enough until their recent iterations where they just kind of went downhill. So I got a Note7 - The first phone I can say I ever truly loved. Then I had 2 S7E's, because of a bunch of random problems with them. I hoped everything would be fixed with the S8, but no such luck. The wifi and bluetooth randomly and frequently disconnect (both issues well known by Samsung and similar to the S7E), Smart stay doesn't well, stay, they randomly don't charge some current Samsung wireless chargers (same with the S7) and several other things I can't think of at the moment.
I've gone full Sansumg with the Gear S3, their new router and Gear VR, but boy are they frustrating. They make great phones, on paper, but my reality has been quite different. They do tend to have the best specs, but I've had problems with every Samsung phone I've owned (except for my 3 N7's which never did set me on fire). As I kept saying about my S7E... I've never had so much hate for such a great phone. I sure hope their Connect Home works well when I finally open the box and try it in my new house next week.
I refuse to get an iPhone and I'm dubious the N8 will solve the problems, not to mention its huge size. I don't want to leave what should be a cohesive electronic ecosystem, but Samsung is kind of pushing me out repeated unreliable products. Anyone else feel the similar?
