    Default Samsung permanently discontinues the Galaxy Note7

    The decision comes immediately after the company issued a press release asking users to power down all original and replaced Note7 units, and for retailers and career partners to stop sales and exchanges of the smartphone.

    “We remain committed to working diligently with appropriate regulatory authorities to take all necessary steps to resolve the situation.” said Samsung in a statement yesterday.

    The decision to end the Note7 production is the final step in a rather tumultuous journey. After being announced back in August and being met with generally positive reviews, the Note7 first came under fire — quite literally — after reports of units exploding surfaced on the internet. After 35 cases had been reported, Samsung issued an official recall of the device, which sent everyone in a tizzy and airlines and airport authorities calling for an official ban on usage of the device in several countries.

    I knew this phone would be a failure.

    Now it is literally and technically. Don't rush crap to the market.

    Now they might have to rename the Note line or kill it all together.

    I think combined with the issues they're having with some of their washing machines they need to take a serious look at their Quality Control processes. Their brand is getting a beating.

    Same here. I was concerned my front loading washer would have been affected.

    Lol samething when I read.

    I like Samsung electronics. They look good and normally performs great.

    I have a Samsung sound bar, when I have guests over they are always amazed at the clarity and sound coming from it. But their stuff are getting very expensive (I wonder if all companies have to be like this when they get popular) and having less features.

    I recently went to buy TV. Initially was gonna get a Samsung until I read spec of a different brand which had everything I wanted plus IPS screen and it was cheaper by like $150. So I chose the other.

    They should kill the Note and replace with Galaxy Pro. There's too much stigma attached to the Note series now after the failure of the Note 7.
