Samsung Note 7 is Officially Dead!

Well this is one of those huge blunders, is this the chance other phone makers have been waiting to exploit?

Note 7 officially recalled (again) and officially dead as Samsung will not be reissuing any more

As a nearly hilarious side story from the so-crazy-it's-funny, Samsung is issueing instructions on how to return their devices in FLAMEPROOF BOXES so as not to bomb the US postal service.

Just wow.... anyone worried about their Galaxy S7 now?

Oh and just as a WARNING do NOT try to bring your Note 7 on an airplane.

The US has banned them already and Canada is probably soon

Did anyone on here actually buy one? $1000 phones are not my forte

Can you imagine that?! Showing up at an airport and they tell you that you have to leave your phone behind. Some frustrated travellers I'm sure!

I heard that is a time limit while you can return the phone. Also i don't know if is true but they say that Samsung either give you an upgrade version of S7 /edge either you tell them what phone to buy and they will buy it for you. They say any phone including iphone of course in the range price 😛

Good post . I like the image. it's amazing.

That's a tiny little truck.

@shrimpdude I suppose it's cheaper to use a little truck just in case the phone blows up!

It's just too bad. The phone was really good.

@TroyDaBes don't worrie. They will bring the new version. It's still sad that for the first time in samsung history they start making profit. Before note 7 they always lose money but as soon as Samsung is one of the biggest technology innovator and the biggest boat builder they can afford that.:)

@shrimpdude loving the tiny truck comment

@Ionut this is going to set Samsung back, as Note8 is far from release ready... or they just throw in the towell and let competitors rejoice

Ionut — Wed, 12 Oct 2016 21:24:34 GMT

@kav2001c agree. But i think they done this with the return policy proving to customers that they are a serious business and care about their customers. If iphone had this problem sure will find a way to blame customers. Incorrect charged, modified adapters etc:))

@Ionut hey we could spin this as a reason why removable batteries are superior. Samsung is screwed at this point.

I really hate Apple but one thing they have always done is consistant user experiance.

Maybe Samsung will stick with user replaceable batteries from now on...

Re: Samsung Note 7 is Officially Dead!

Rockdaddy22 — Thu, 13 Oct 2016 00:11:02 GMT

That most likely wouldn't solve the problem, considering the phones that have caught fire had different batteries in them. Switching batteries didn't help, something is inherently wrong with the design of of this phone.

I heard even the replacement note 7 ( green battery) explode. I've seen they already start working on note 8. They say that the new iris scan is much accurate, CPU is much stronger, reduced the size and funny thing battery (4500 mAh)

Bringing the Note7 on a US airline will cost you

Passengers who bring a Note 7 onto a plane are "subject to civil penalties of up to $179,933 for each violation for each day they are found to be in violation (49 U.S.C. 5123)," and could be prosecuted, which could "result in fines under title 18, imprisonment of up to ten years, or both (49 U.S.C. 5124)."

ah It's too bad.

More business goes to Apple looks like.

I just hate being tied to craptastic itunes though.

Looks like Samsung really wants their note 7's back:
