The s5 will have to last me the next couple of years. Baby on the way.

Good luck. Made in China.

My S2 is almost 4 years old, and it still works like a charm. Just replaced the battery a couple of days ago.

My wife's S plus is now my daughters toy (it's about 5 years old).
My bosses S3 is still working perfectly, Some of the silver has come off the edges and that is it.
Also, many people here still using the S2

I think i'll be good

Chinese manufacturers make luxury goods too you know. They just follow their clients' instructions.

My S3 is nearly two years old and is going just fine.

 

[AstroTurf]

Also, Chinese so must be ***? That is a very late 80's early 90's mentality.
You get what you pay for.

If you're out to make a quality product then China isn't the first place you would look. Out to make some plastic and cheap though ? Sure.

Name something that does not have at least one part sourced from China

China is always the first place you look if you want economies of scale. No one can tool up, hire people, source parts and raw materials and commence shipping faster. Not all luxury goods need to be handmade in Switzerland. Apple has stated in the past that the majority of their products are made in China because no one else can do it.

You're right. Perfection doesn't exist.

You're right. Perfection doesn't exist.

That statement makes me think it's less about the product and more about xenophobia...

Does not compute. The Chinese manufacturing ethos is devoid of quality related ethics for the most part. Let's not pretend that statement is controversial.

Why do you hate China so much? They can manufacture products much faster than anyone else - that's just how it is.

Chinese manufacturers would have major problems if their quality control wasn't up to snuff, like any large manufacturer would.

I dont hate China at all. I dislike hive mind.

:erm:

Eish... not bright are we?

The iPhone is made in China too.

 

[AstroTurf]

huh?

Never noticed this hive mind thing when I went to Shenzhen, Donguan, Wuhan or Hong Kong. There was a bit of the communist thing going for Wuhan I must admit but even there people were just people.

Back to the big X I think.
