big time ask any Note 4 owner after it's final update
Final update = nail on the coffin. My question to Samsung is WHY?! And I would like the public to voice their outrage so that Samsung will make an official statement.

Never let a good dead go unpunished. Bad PR and marketing by Apple legal tams vs tech side? Look at how long the issue with Note 7 took to uncover why.
If it was a CPU, ARM or Intel, reaching thermal junction point you expect throttling.
If Samsung could have jumped in and throttled the Note 7 until they sorted it out safely - i think they would have.
iPhone users are quick to jump to a conspiracy. Software always puts heavier demands on resources. And yes, sell upgrades.
I had two 6S Plus phones. The first had poor battery but wasn't part of a known batch that we're 'defective.' The 2nd, bought a year later as Apple refurbished was excellent. And iOS 10 was a better fit than 9.2.x was.
I find GPS sucks when u root and rom.
My Note 3 FLEW on whatever ROM I was using. Then I broke the vol button and got a refurb that had been updated and could not be rooted on vzw. My Note 3 is still pretty fast but I use it factory format without latest update primarily on wifi only but occasionally I throw in a sim and use it for the dayThere's also some performance problems. I remember rooting and installing a custom ROM on my old HTC MyTouch 4G. Phone was much slower. Also, there's app incompatibilities as well, especially on Google Play store.
So if you update with official OS, you're pretty much screwed? So is hacking the way of the future now?
So funny...
After about a billion posts on forums incorporating the term "Samsung Lag" in the title, and all of the calories burned by intelligent, helpful Samsung owners trying to get less knowledgeable owners to understand how to keep their Samsung phones running fast/smooth, Apple goes and overtly, intentionally, slows down their phones.
Anyone else see the irony here??
Will this be the start of a billion posts incorporating the term "Apple Lag" for the next 10 years or so?
History says it should be.
But somehow, I think the "Lag" spotlight will inevitably, and undeservingly, swing back over to Samsung. Leaving uninformed Samsung owners to continue to chase their "Lag" tail.
I am tired just thinking about it.
well if you have an iPong, crapple will slow it down for you over time, you don’t have to do anything yourself, they have admitted it publicly now
NO... I actually think root/rom is in the past for lots now, but back in the Note 2/3/4 days there was a big unleashed potential in the notes...that Samsung didn't give us.. but independent developers did, my note 3 was a beast rocking 2 full days of life with 10 hours of on screen time, that was unheard of back then and was thanks to the great dev. guys on xda.
I wouldn't bother with root/rom on my N8 but if I hadn't sold my N4 I would have had fun... mad fun.. making it greater

Samsung came out and said they don't throttle phones.
But they'd have to actually update the software to actually throttle phones. /dumboverplayedjoke
Yep, exactly, a coincidence. I still have 2 perfectly-working Note 3s. I just wanted a smaller phone, a newer version of Android and a fingerprint scanner, but the Note 3's, aside from the batteries, are like new (plus updates).However, why does Samsung phones crap out after 2 years? I don't understand why the laptop (which is designed to last longer than phones but has more complicated moving parts) still functions perfectly fine (as long as you don't install junk and useless Windows updates) but a phone cannot. Isn't it a coincidence that the Note 4 suddenly died exactly when the Note 8 was released?
