samsung galaxy s5 mini hangs and locks up(probably because of whatsapp notifications)

Well, that is sad. My old htc phone would once in a while restart itself ever since i started using whatsapp. Every once in a while there were a few whatsapp notifications and my old htc phone would restart.

This morning i almost overslept because the alarm clock of my new samsung galaxy s5 mini phone did not go off. When checking why it did not go off, it turned out my phone was hanging and locked up. I could not get it to restart with the power button. The led would flash once every few seconds, just as it does when i have a missed call or sms or whatsapp. Only after removing the lipo battery, i could get it to restart again. And it showed that i have a whats app message. The battery was more then 90 % full.

My old htc phone would always restart to a fully functioning phone.
It seems my new samsung galaxy phone just hangs and locks up.
Any else experienced this ?
I feel i can no longer trust the samsung as an alarm clock.

Is there some problem with whatsapp, android or is a samsung issue ?

The two common variables between the two phones are WhatsApp and Android. Were I you, the first thing I would do is wipe the cache and see if the issue persists. If it does, nuke WhatsApp and test again.

My guess is WhatsApp is the culprit.
