The contract requires repair shops to "immediately disassemble" devices that have parts "not purchased from Samsung."

Samsung have gotten better with updates. In 2021, they promised all new models would receive four years of updates (which helped the industry because other brands started matching them), and they bumped it to seven years with this year's S24 series.

Samsung and LG appliances are interesting things. Some are horrible like their fridges (which are some of the worst available today), but some are fantastic like LG's washing machines (which rank #2 in reliability behind Speed Queen).

I have a Samsung fridge I'm happy with but I specifically avoided the in-door water/ice dispenser because I've heard awful things about them.
