Samsung Galaxy phones are worse quality than rival Apple iphones, according to a survey of more than 44,000 people based in Samsung's homeland.
South Koreans prefer Apple devices to Samsung phones, according to a survey.
South Koreans reported higher customer satisfaction with Apple products than home-grown Samsung phones, with fewer people reporting problems with their iPhones than their Samsung Galaxy devices.
A consumer survey of 44,168 people aged 16 to 64 years old found that iPhones have fewer failures, with only 17 per cent reporting a problem with their Apple smartphone compared to 31 per cent who had issues with their Samsung phones.
Battery charging was the biggest problem with Samsung Galaxy phones, with 20 per cent reporting the issue. LCD scratches, image or picture quality and call performance were also a concern for many South Koreans with Samsung devices.
Apple's iPhone, meanwhile, was more likely to have problems related to touch and button malfunctions, according to the survey.
Despite Apple's apparent popularity, the iPhone maker has seen a recent decline in market share in South Korea, going from 23.2 per cent in 2010 to 3.2 per cent this year.
