QUOTE(benny888 @ Sep 2 2016, 08:58 AM) I had no intention of even keeping it long simply because of its size. However though is the best Android i had used i dare not recommend it now due to the quality issues reported Potential buyers should wait possibly another 2-3 months until Samsung had make an official statement and solve the current issues. BTW I read only Korean made sets had explosion problems due to its Korean outsourced battery. Our Msian sets are made in Vietnam and using China outsourced battery and hopefully unlikely will have such problems. My next potential buy would be possibky ZTE Axon 7 , Mate9? ZTE would be my first try of it. Needless to say the second batch of N7 will be eifher in their warehouse awaiting shipment to their stores worldwide.i dont think Samsung will hold back their stocks either as launch is already delayed to September. |

Samsung is preparing to announce a massive and global recall of its brand new Galaxy Note 7 smartphone, according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency. The Korea Herald also reported earlier that Samsung is "considering" a recall. The drastic and unprecedented step would be a direct result of Samsung's ongoing investigation into reports that the Note 7's battery has exploded while charging, and Samsung could announce a recall as soon as this coming weekend.
Just yesterday, it was reported that Samsung had decided to delay Note 7 shipments while investigating the claims, and it would appear that the company might've found a serious cause for concern. A Samsung spokesperson confirmed to The Wall Street Journal that shipments have been halted, though couldn't comment on whether the release would be affected around the world. The Verge has reached out to Samsung and all major US mobile operators for comment.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- South Korean shipments have been haltedYonhap claims that Samsung is currently in discussions with carriers that have already launched the Note 7 — Verizon Wireless is mentioned by name — about how the recall process will be handled. The company has also reportedly ordered UK carriers to halt the Note 7's planned launch in that region next week. "Results of the investigation and relevant countermeasures will be made public this weekend or early next week at the latest," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. This unnamed Samsung official told Yonhap that the battery issue impacts less than 0.1 percent of Note 7 devices sold thus far, but clearly the company is unwilling to take chances.
A widespread recall of the well-received Note 7 would deal a major blow to Samsung's mobile business at a time when many view the company's latest smartphone lineup as its best yet. When questioned about the recall rumor, a Samsung spokesperson didn't provide a direct conformation or denial, instead giving The Verge the following statement:Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Recall

QUOTE(Max2006 @ Sep 2 2016, 03:59 PM) Just want to share the news with you all. The 8th explosion case reported today. Also in Korea. A recall by Samsung is imminent. No wonder they delayed the launching of the phones to September. If they are to replace everyone's battery/phone, its going to cost them a lot.

QUOTE(yuhhaur @ Sep 2 2016, 04:07 PM) 200k units pre order in Korea oh wait~  Around the world....?  QUOTE(Max2006 @ Sep 2 2016, 04:08 PM) Actually those explosion cases were happened AFTER they delayed the Global launching to September. Now they announced that the shipment will be delay once again. The dateline is TBA. I think they would have known the issues already. If not, why would they delay the launch of the phone, since the Iphone7 is already on the shores of lauching. Samsung is probably trying to find a solution to it or pushing their luck. |

QUOTE(sunyen @ Sep 2 2016, 04:58 PM) especially for VR. Blowup right in front your face! You suddenly reminded me that this could happen as well as the phone is plugged in to the VR. I think my Note 7 is going to have to take a rest for now. |

I'd gladly send in my unit, but hope samsung give me brand new unit  I would think that it will be like Apple replacement units @ seed units.  |
