"the Marriage occurs always and everywhere, but the market average with an acceptable level of less than 1%, and Samsung for individual lots the rejection rate exceeds 7%", — told the President of "Euroset" Alexander Malis. According to him, the share of marriage is more or less uniform throughout the range of devices. Generally, the problems arise with the software and the service centers of "Euroset" correct them, but mostly for the money, explains a top-the Manager. What exactly is meant by "marriage", he said.

the difference between the total amount of "Euroset" indemnified buyers of defective Samsung smartphones for several months, and guarantee payments from Samsung, according to Malis, already more than 180 million rubles ($3 million).

On a similar situation to talk with the representatives of "Coherent" and "VimpelCom". As noted Malis, Samsung does not respond to calls to fix the situation.
