That's why you have warranty! Back to the shop for another one.

I've had brand new things have glitches.

That's why I take it back or work with the maker. In your case it seems you decided it's why no one should try these devices.

Just take it back to Samsung and get a new phone, simple as that! If it is under warranty, they won't argue.
