Samsung note 5

Reception issues with samsung note 5.
purchased a note 5 recently which has high reception issues(call drops, connectivity issues..etc) went to a service center in UAE they are asking 1000AED to replace the motherboard. mobile is less than 4 months old and they denied warranty because i purchased the devise from malaysia. Is there anyone else facing this issue with this devise?

I have no problems with my note 5. as far as your warranty issues, you found one of the problems with purchasing phones in other countries. sometimes if you raise enough fuss they will cover it but they really do not have to.

The problem is with motherboard as per them. I have to shell almost 40% of the phone cost to get this repaired. Mobile is less than 4 months old. So fa i have been thinking it as the problem with the mobile operators.
