Galaxy Note 7 recall: F.A.Q.
Wait, what happened again?

Samsung has discovered an issue with the battery of the Note 7 units it has shipped so far. By Samsung’s count, the issue has caused at least 35 incidents where the Note 7 dangerously overheated or caught fire while charging, or soon after charging.

The problem is estimated to affect one device in every 42,000 units. Samsung says it shipped around 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7 units so far, so if the estimate is correct, only a few dozen phones sold worldwide are at risk.

Samsung is recalling every Note 7 unit it has shipped and sold so far out of an abundance of caution.

This sounds bad. Should I be worried?

If the “one in every 42,000 units” estimation is correct, the risk of your Note 7 being defective is very, very low. While it’s good to be cautious, there’s little reason to be worried about your phone exploding, catching fire, or even breaking.

Why do phones even catch fire or explode?

Smartphones (and other modern electronic devices) from all manufacturers have been known to catch fire, usually while charging (often through a third-party cable or charger). These incidents are relatively rare, but with hundreds of million units being sold every year, they are bound to happen occasionally.

OHH for feck's sake!! Come on la people.. Stop all this scaring tactics sh*t! While the whole battery situation is pretty serious, what's the point of showing all these pictures which in reality might not be related to the Note7?? And you guys really believe every single news that they publish on the Internet?? So instead of having constructive discussions about the device, the whole thread has become a channel to scared the sh*t out of each other?

First time I heard a widespread issue of a particular phone is burning or exploding. Admittedly, there are cases where phones caught on fire or exploded but it is not as widespread as this.

Next gen iPhone is launching very soon. Sometime competition bring bad too.

Hopefully phone last until end of the month without incident, then those pre-order should be considered quite lucky instead (safe for the hassle and initial scare). We get to use the phone so much in advance, and then get a second new unit plus extra freebies. I applaud Samsung for their thoughtful service recovery

Totally agree with this. I also agree this is related to safety, but no need to keep showing the photos. By the way, the fire extinguisher shown in the photo, foam type or water type or...? Pressure got enough? haha!
