Galaxy Note 7

I vote for Note 8.

They already skipped 6. Might as well leapfrog Apple while they're at it.
 
IMO Samsung should just discontinue the "Note" branding, it's "burnt" now anyways.

Just have the Galaxy S8 (Edge varient only) and have a new S8+ (not to confused with the "Plus" from Apple).
 
Is there any news as to when the phone is going to be re-released? I am more interested in this phone after the explosion fiasco, lol.
 
Only news I've seen is apparently Samsung is having other unrelated production line issues due to an earthquake shutting them down temporarily. So. ... more delay. ..

Talk about being kicked when you're down...
 
S7 has been on sale for months now, almost half a year. Probably would've heard something before now if there was something up.

Phones explode all the time, from different brands. This is really bad for Samsung as they are in the spotlight now.

Agreed 100%. Would be interesting to know if they sourced other batteries from the plant that made the Note 7 batteries, or it that was their first run,

Saw an article that had a graph showing Note 7 use still increasing (or at worst plateauing) since the recall. I'd wager a lot of people don't want to hassle with getting a temp phone or trading it for a new one, and are just waiting for Samsung to release the updated models.

Has mainstream media caught on to this? Haven't been following the news much, but i'd wager once CNN or the major news outlet start covering it sales would plummet.

Sales have already stopped, but the data looks like existing users are by and large still using their phones.

It's been all over the news, and carriers and Samsung have been sending out emails/texts. I don't know how someone could be ignorant of it.
 
It's been all over the news, newspapers, TV, radio...etc... I don't follow mainstream news and even I heard about our on the radio.

I have been trying to keep up with this on the Android Central forums and it does seem that there are alot of people still using their Note 7's....
 
I'm going to call it, the a Note 7 is dead.

Don't know how SS is going to work around it, but sales will suck, and the brand is damaged.
 
From CPSC:

Part of the CPSC report today said that Samsung has received 92 reports of Note 7 batteries overheating, with 26 reports of burns and 55 of property damage.
 
Their website still says "voluntary" exchange program. Uhhh, shouldn't they be saying MANDATORY to save their butts from any future lawsuits?
