Iris scanner? Now that's new to me. I would never thought of that could related to the explosion problem. Mind to explain your views on this, bro?

Regarding the possible root cause of the Note7's problems, one of the Korea newspaper (韓國先驅報) did point out 3 possibilities.

It's in chinese version. So let me sum it up for you who cannot read chinese.

1. IP68.

2. Fast charging

3. Software (they did mention the Iris scanner in this part)

Do you still remember where people used to say that IP68 is impossible for Note series since it got S-Pen? But at the end, Samsung did it in Note 7. So may be the IP68 technology in Note 7 is different compared to S7/S7 edge. As for the fast charging part, Note 7 is the first samsung device that using USB Type C. That's another difference between Note 7 & S7/S7 Edge.

Now this is interesting. The only one thing I don't understand is why SDI is different with ATL, as the pics suggesting? The edge design should be the same between these 2. unless they are talking about the battery design....Oh well, can't really understand since they are all in Korea words.

ah....Bro. As I said previosuly, Samsung HK already ordered the users to switch off the phones and returns the phone to them. I already provided the facebook link in my post for you to refer. You didn't check it out?

Bro, it was a joke. An owner (I forgot the name liao) made that up for fun.

Phone arena released a translation article for this.

The 'symmetrical' Note 7 design might be precisely why its batteries were failing

Investigators Suspect New Battery Flaw in Samsung Note 7

In first wave of explosion they blamed SDI. Now after the 2nd wave of explosion, they blamed ATL. Is it me or Samsung is still kicking the blaming ball around?

CNN latest news.



From the clip, apparently, most of the Korean users are still having some faiths in Samsung.

Also, at the end of the clip, there's a surprise for everyone (if you are Malaysian).

if you don't mind, let me give you a short summary.

SME finally announced the refund/exchange/compensation plan.

Some owners are not satisfied, some said just accept it and move on. Hence arguments.

Some owners are planning to do a complaint campaign to push SME to give them a better compensation/alternative choice.

As long as you claimed that you are the Note 7 owner, they won't touch you la.

Oh wait...you are actually an ex-owner. Haha.

Just kidding. No hard feeling ya, bro.

Oii...you are so jahat! LOL. But I must agree, this is an evil genius plan.

here's my 2 cents worth.

For owners themselves, yes. There's no right and wrong.

But for public awareness, people surrounding the users, big difference.

We can no longer say it's Note 7 user issues, the irrelevant people please stay away, etc ect kind of speech. Whether you already realized this or not, to this day, Note 7 already became a "hardzardous" item in the eyes of publics. It's not a personal issue anymore. It's a global issue where the people, medias, governments will pay attention to.

Anyway, for owners who wish to keep the phones, probably they will only use it alone in their own home/office/car, or keep the phone in store/drawer for collection item purpose. It's still ok I guess. But if they bring it to public transport or public places, then it will be a different story to tell. You can stop people from disallowing you to use. But you can't stop the people from watching and being cautious at you. Some may scare and shout or take certain action on the users. Hence the conflicts. Users will take the consequences if anything happen. The risk is there. That's the fact and nobody can deny that.

Samsung Doesn’t Know Why Their Galaxy Note 7 Caught Fire

http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/samsung-doesn...ire-12-10-2016/

Here’s why Samsung may drop the Note brand

http://www.sammobile.com/2016/10/12/heres-...the-note-brand/

If this really happen, then Note 5 will the last Note generation that is still "walking" on the earth.

Don't think it will be cheap. Last week I checked at KLCC Samsung store. RRP is still at RM2699. Of course it will be cheaper if you buy online.

The news I posted last night was still a suggestion/speculation.

Todays news said there's a source from Samsung Russia claiming that Samsung indeed is going to drop the "Note" name in the future.

Samsung said to kill off Note brand

What to do? Every phone that have edge screen will be automatically recognized as related to Note 7. That's what is happening now.

Come to think of it, Note 7 fiasco is not only affecting the Note 7 itself, it also affected the Note brand, all the other Samsung devices, other phones that have edge screen...etc. This chain reaction is much bigger than we could imagine.

May be we should get some kind of sticker and cover up the logo. LOL (Just joking).
