I love my note 5 but im wondering if these problems may have been around during that generation as my battery overheats like crazy especially in Pattaya with the ambient temperatures

The battery seems the main problem with many phones .

i used to do account admin for a seller of secondhand and ex lease IT equipment, we had a ton of refurbished apple equipment, shitloads of batteries and most if not all were fucked, things used to swell up to double and triple the original size, the problem now is that most batteries are now unremovable so cant switch them out easily like earlier generation smartphones, just a ploy to make more money through unescesary repair and warranty jobs, too many companies getting greedy, looks as though samsung totally dropped the ball on this one though as they had to do a total recall, no extra money through warranty services and the like
