To be fair, my Galaxy S3 is only a year old and that hasn't faired too well... eMMC issues, dodgy USB port (which has been in for repair but despite the replacement it didn't work). My only hope seems to be getting it replaced under the insurance due to the faults. :-/ (Generally I've been happy with Samsung phones, my original Galaxy S was fine, 2 years old and still worked fine until I tried to replace the worn casing and broke it myself).
