No. Where did you get that? It doesn't say that anywhere.

So i shipped my phone back to samsung last thursday after the update bricked my phone wednesday. They emailed me a shipping label and received it monday. Just got another email that they have shipped it back, so it took them less than a week to fix it, with any luck i get it before the weekend but not getting my hopes up

anyway the problem as listed in the email to me was "bad bga component." i have no idea what it is or what it does but there it is for what its worth
