"A new report from product Q &amp; A site FixYa found that the iPhone was more reliable than smartphones made by Motorola, Samsung and Nokia.\nThe study looked at data from 722,558 problem reports listed on the site, and combined that information with market share data from StatCounter to create an ultimate reliability score for each smartphone manufacturer.\nApple scored a 3.47 on FixYa\u2019s Reliability Reporter \u2014 187% more reliable than Samsung\u2019s 1.21 \u2014 and 25 times more than Motorola.\n\n\u201CSmartphones are consistently being compared on a case-by-case basis, but no one has looked at the overall trends across a manufacturer's entire smartphone line,\u201D said FixYa CEO and founder Yaniv Bensadon in a press release announcing the results of the study.\n\u201COur newest FixYa report looks at lines like the iPhone, Galaxy, or Lumia, and through a careful analysis of issues versus market share, we\u2019ve been able to directly compare manufacturers using a reliability score. The result is an accurate and fair method of a scaled approach to fairly compare these top companies to truly see who is the most reliable, and who is barely even competing.\u201D\nDeeper than just comparing one model of phone to another, FixYa\u2019s report looks at the brands' product lines as a whole, noting common complaints for each one.\nApple users, for instance, complain about the device\u2019s battery life, lack of new features and customizability, and issues connecting to Wi-Fi.\nSamsung smartphone users have entirely different problems, with issues surrounding the microphone and speaker on the phones as well as battery life. Samsung customers also complain that their device gets hot.\nDevice temperature was also an issue for Nokia customers, who complained about not only the device getting hot, but also laggy response time, a poor app ecosystem and poor battery life.\nMotorola owners, who ranked the least satisfied with their handsets,  were the only ones who didn\u2019t complain about battery life (perhaps due to the fantastic battery on the Droid Razr and Droid Razr Maxx). Instead they had issues with the device\u2019s camera and speaker quality, as well as problems with the touchscreen. Motorola owners were most dissatisfied with the apps that came preinstalled on their devices.\nYou can check out FixYa\u2019s complete report now on its website.\nNote: FixYa originally claimed the iPhone was 300% more reliable than Samsung smartphones, a number which was inaccurate and not representational of its study. We have corrected this post to reflect the actual study percentage.\nImage via iStockphoto, krystiannawrocki"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
