[Resolved]  Samsung — Samsung M31 restarting and freezing after software update

In November 21, I installed software update on my Samsung M31 phone provided by Samsung. After which It started freezing and restarting very frequently and sometime even gets stuck into restart loop. I visited Samsung service center and they asked me to pay[protected] for mother board replacement. This is completely unethical and strongly doubt that Samsung is damaging mobile phones after warranty so they get additional business/revenue.

I reached out to different communication channels via service centre, CEO's desk but they are ready to bear only 25% cost of repair and asking me to bear remaining cost as it is out of warranty. This seems all well planned where they will damage out of warranty phones and they get business.

There are numerous complaints on internet where Samsung M31 and A series phones are freezing and restarting after system update.

I request Samsung to take responsibility and give free of cost repair to all M31 and A series consumers who are facing this issue after software update.

I am starting with Consumer complaint and if not provided with free of cost repair then will reach out to consumer court.

In order to safe guard our digital instruments, It is being advised to keep our handsets software/systems up-to date. These system upgrades generally gets provided by mobile handset manufacturers. What if these system/software updates starts breaking/damaging our phones instead of keeping safe from cyber crimes. Who is responsible for the system/software updates which are being provided to us?... If handset manufacturer then should not handset manufacturer be liable to provide free hardware/service to repair our handset ?
Ideally, we expect any system/software update offered to us is well tested for particular handset hardware and is safe for installation. Please advise if it is wrong expectation ?
