These are the issues affecting the credibility of the brand right now.
1) s20 plus users facing display damage after software updates. There have been 30 plus posts about this very same issue on this platform itself. 
Some links :

2) The infamous Exynos 9611 mass failure. Hundreds of people have already reported the restarting issue due to motherboard failure here. Many are still reporting it almost everyday.

Now it's not about issue alone, it's about the way the company treats the customers who approach them with manufacturing issues. They are not acknowledging the problem. Service centers are trying to pin the blame/fault on the customers.
One cannot accept the situation where a flagship customer is forced to spend 15k to repair the device just after one year of purchase.
Similarly people who bought exynos 9611 based phones are budget users. It's atrocious to ask 8k from them to repair the devices just after 1 year of purchase.
These issues are evidently due to software defects/manufacturing defect. Why should the customers pay the price for company's fault?

It's sad that the responsible people are not even responding or giving proper replies. It's such a messed up and difficult situation for both the customers who are facing the issues and the company as well. I hope Samsung comes up with a fair solution.

Nb: Some of you who knows me might be knowing that I am someone who usually stands up for the brand in the face of illogical criticisms and mocking. But this here is a serious issue. That's why I am posting this in support of the fellow members who are facing these issues.

Same reason, i still kept s20+ at ui 3.1.
My old sony xperia z5 was much better in terms of software, camera and built quality.

Earlier updates brought new features and better performance to phone.
But now samsung use it to make device useless and compel upgrade every year

I am thinking about extending the warranty given the current scenario.

But even that is costly....they charge around 5-10k depending on the model.
