00:00 intro
00:43 in mexico lots of people buy grey market phones
01:03 these are not stolen phones
01:20 error messages on phones that previously worked
02:20 samsung locked the entire phone but allowed it to continue turning on
03:03 not surprising, samsung is not a great company
03:38 The government wasn't asking samsung to do this
03:58 Mexican government sided with consumers
05:00 dont buy from these companies
05:40 if you're ok with this..
05:58 samsung talks about battery voltage and charging safety
06:10 Samsung uses same battery voltage in every region and doesnt include a charger in the box anymore
06:34 Samsung is full of crap
06:50 Samsung claims they're being green
07:08 they'll probably get away with it
07:27 This isn't for your safety or security
