SAMSUNG COMPANY STOP'S GALAXY NOTE 7 SALES DUE TO BATTERY EXPLODS
Samsung officially unveiled its sixth-generation Galaxy Note phablet, the Galaxy Note 7, on August 2 2016 in New York, USA. The latest Galaxy Note has skipped a number as Samsung allegedly wanted to keep the name consistent with the Galaxy S7 flagship series.
Things aren't looking too great for the Galaxy Note 7 right now. Following its expected enthusiastic launch and reception, little problems are starting to split out of the woodwork. First we heard how the Galaxy Note 7's S-Pen stylus could become jammed in its containment slot, and then reports started bleeding out that the handset was catching fire.
"As of Septmber, a total of 35 claims were registered with Samsung's service centers at home and abroad. Only 24 units on a scale of 1 million were affected by the battery problem. By putting our top priority on customer safety, we've decided to halt sales [of Galaxy Note 7] and offer new replacement handsets to all customers."
So yes, you can get a replacement handset. According to reports, Samsung designed the Galaxy Note 7 battery cell, but the production was delegated to third parties, it's claimed one of these third party manufacturers has produced the batteries present in faulty units.
