Chitchat Samsung to discontinue the note 7

[Jah_rastafar_I]

SEOUL—Samsung Electronics Co. said Tuesday that it would permanently discontinue production and sales of its embattled Galaxy Note 7 smartphone, pulling the plug on a much-hyped premium smartphone whose botched product recall has deeply damaged the brand.

Samsung said in a filing with South Korean regulators that it would permanently cease sales of the device, a day after it announced a temporary halt to production of the smartphones.

“Taking our customer’s safety as our highest priority, we have decided to halt sales and production of the Galaxy Note 7,” the company said.

The move comes on a day when Samsung shares tumbled 8%, its biggest one-day decline in eight years, amid increasing pressure after a new string of reported smartphone fires in the U.S.

Samsung’s global recall of 2.5 million Note 7s began more than a month ago after batteries in some phones overheated and caught fire.

Wasn't there a recent thread here extolling (short of advertising) the merits of S7? Now conspicuously silent as S7 has since gone to the grave

Probably true because it is that dangerous. Have cases where the Note 7 caught fire when the phone was powered on as well as when it was powered off. When it was being charged & while it was just sitting on the bed side. Cannot predict when the phone will catch fire. The plane is the last place you want to have a fire.

Some people suspect that it was lithium batteries catching fire that caused the missing MH370 to crash?
We may never know since they can't find the planes debris.

After nearly 8 weeks Samsung is still secretive about the details of the problem. Maybe they have no clue as to the cause since they were too busy with the PR & cover up People should be cautious about Samsung products. Read about their exploding washing machines. I was looking at replacing my refrigerator with a Samsung but now Samsung is off my list.

I don't think Samsung can be trusted & suspect that many consumers will feel the same way. There are many other consumer brands out there so it's no big deal.
