If that's really it, I wonder why you never see ads or reviews saying
"This 32 core, 6GHz device with a 6" 4x HD screen can corrupt your
data up to four times faster than the closest competitor"!

Seriously, why is this not part of the compatibility test (I realize
it maybe a difficult thing to detect, but it's users' data at stake).

Some of us still shiver from all the data storage issues that the
original Galaxy S had.

Curiously, I'm also getting - admittedly rare - reports of shared
prefs values randomly changing, including some in files that the user
can't touch in the app's UI.

On the other hand, if this is flash memory going bad on some specific
devices (as opposed to device models), then how does the user run
chkdsk / fsck / surface scan / whatever to detect it?
