wanna ask all comrades, if let say, if eventually, samsung decides to terminate note series, and ask you to return note 7. what will you do? i seriously can't find any phone to replace beloved note :'(

it's sad to see samsung cannot overcome obstacles

Just chatted with mysamsung live chat.
No refund for the 2nd safe green battery batch.
Only applicable to the first exploding batch.
No exchange program so far.

Hi Note7 User,

Anyone still having 1st batch unit that have the battery icon turn to green now?
I notice the 2nd batch unit also white color until the software been update......
feel fishy ....

Maxshit out of stock... no black somemore

If they can design Note 8 to have similar shape , then all the accessories will not go to waste. Imagine the impact on the accessories manufacturers with stocks already produced for the world market.

Note 5 is the longest Note series in production and will continue until 2017. Owner of Note 5 rejoice!

yeah
You will get update longer than any Note Series. Probably way past Android 9.0 

I feel bad for my sister because she took it over my hand

Haiz what next...

it's not a simple manufacturing issue but a failed design.

Note 7 is ok. But 4GB is a letdown.

if Note 7 come with 6gb RAM, it will be greater.

I am waiting for Note 8 with 8GB RAM. Finger crossed.

It's been like that since few weeks ago.

My take on this whole fiasco.

Its not about battery defect.

Yearly release of high end smartphone already becoming predictable, and knowing this year is not "S" release for iPhone (which means its going to be a major release), Samsung marketing team want to pre-empt the funfair with another major release of its own. So they pushed the engineering team to move Note 7 release forward, shorten testing period to meet the new dateline. Obviously something will be going wrong here (watch The Martian for this).

When its started to explode one by one, they started the investigation. and since ip7 is still not released worldwide they took easy way to solve this. Battery malfunctioning of course. And who else to blame easier rather than their own subsidiary, SDI. Its easier to blame their own subsidiary rather than third party supplier.

It's turned out its not battery issue or else the replacement phone shouldnt be exploding as well. The problem might be deeper than that, maybe design failure on other components inside the phone. And its too costly to re-debug the whole components inside the phone looking for the real cause, plus the reputation already dented. Hens they simply terminate it.

What I can see from here the one to blame is the marketing ppl or the top management, not the engineering team. Good thing is the next flagship release from Samsung will be way better to make up for this. Bad thing? How they going to deal with third party accessories companies like Spigen to make up for their loss, not to mentioned customers that already invested into it.

Sorry for my bad grammar etc., this is my personal assumption and opinion.
