Hi,
I purchased a Samsung Galaxy M30s phone about 1.5 years back, on 10th Aug 2020 . After a recent OS update (security patch update), my phone started freezing and auto-restarting every few minutes. On looking up the internet, I was shocked to see, that a large number of people were facing the exact same issue, and all the failures were attributed to the same motherboard (Exynos 9611). This has been reported by reputable news channels such as Times of India, India Today etc. (Links attached below)

I have also attached a link to a complaint raised by a person with the same issue, to which Samsung responded that they were awaiting a larger number of reports to act on it. Here you have it, Samsung.
This issue is large and widespread enough to be reported by multiple big news channels.
On ignoring this issue, the only possible end result would be losing goodwill and faithful customers who believe in the quality provided by Samsung to other brands.
Kindly do the right thing by providing a free of cost fix for this, as people respect a company that owns up to its mistake, and provides a solution friendly to the consumers.
Thanks in Advance.

Updated by Adhersh RV Kindly note the correction in the first line of my complaint above "I purchased a Samsung Galaxy M21", although this issue is persistent in the model M30s too.
*Since last week i have been facing auto reboot problem,
*I took the mobile to the service center. They suggested that there was a motherboard issue and needed replacement which costs almost 7600 rupees.
*After that i googled it about this issue so many people of various models of samsung have been facing this issue after a software update pushed by samsung and also after the warranty period.
*Due to a faulty processor and a bug-filled update, the phones are to be repaired.
*Why should a consumer pay almost half of the cost to repair in 1 year due to an issue from the company. This is your manufacturing fault so you should take responsibility to repair it or exchange it with a new good one free of cost.
Please accept this complaint and take action ASAP.
