It's hard to draw broad conclusions from anecdotes. My LG front-loader lasted 13 years with one minor failure (drain pump, which was easy to replace thanks to good design) prior to its final fatal failure. It was serving a family of 5 so it got a lot of use during that time.
Samsung and LG are both Korean, so I would expect they have similar approaches to design and quality control. ALL modern appliances have gone overboard in terms of adding gizmos, touch screens, WiFi, remote control from your phone, etc. I actively avoid models with those features, just adds cost and is one more thing that can break.
