Yet another "replaced" Note 7 caught on fire on a 13-yo girl's hand while she was holding it, she wasn't harmed.

I'm probably one of those guys who are on the fence to check out this thread to see if it's available.

I really don't mind they bump the thickness a little bit to accumulate the battery inside (for battery safety reason perhaps?) or maybe even reintroduce the swappable battery, that would be the most, most, most perfect phone in 2016!

Well, after 5 explosions on replaced devices, Samsung decides to stop production on Note 7, temporary.

QUOTE
According to South Korean new agency Yonhap, Samsung has temporarily suspended production of Galaxy Note 7s. In the last week, at least three replacement Note 7s have reportedly caught fire, leading AT&T and T-Mobile to suspend their replacement programs for the phone.

I guess we'll probably be seeing the Note 7s on their "good old days" launch date?

agreed. note7 didn't get best android phone (currently) for nothing... it deserved it because it's that good.

that's why when i started to think abt what phone to get if there's a recall/ refund... i cannot think of sth that really matches the note7. and like some here... i might just go back to my old phone and then wait for the next Note.

but i really do hope they can the curved edges. watch movies pun not so fun coz cropped at top and bottom (when viewing in landscape). then smart select... if i need to select the edges... my goodness... so difficult and i ended up using finger instead.

if really refund... i hope this time Samsung MY be more generous and let us keep all freebies. like what TMo announced for their customers -- can keep the Gear Fit, etc... and even get cash voucher or sth...

There are probably a few worthy devices that are more capable than Note 7 but it sounds like you need the S-Pen more than anything else.

Do consider Google's Pixel, S7E or maybe LG V20.

I come from S7edge to Note7. Really there is not much flagship that can match Note7. Google Pixel is ugly af. LG V20 design also so so only. Note7 the best really. Or maybe will jump ship to the fruit world...... Just saying

Hey I too consider the fruit side, I was on queue for Maxis express the other day, I was checking out with the device but I decided the fruit side wasn't really gonna do for me since I rely on Google services a lot.

Note 7 is really the jack of all trades on Android. smile.gif

But shame really, if they didnt skip the Note 6 numbering, they have the reason to relaunch the brand to Note 7 with a bumped spec, say 6GB ram like the chinese version. laugh.gif

i m using my N4 now and planning to move to N7. Will see if any updates on the N7 2nd batch, or else might need to settle down with iphone 7  blush.gif

I picked Note 7.

But with the negative news and production halt, I'm not even sure now.

Probably S7E, iP7 or maybe, LG V20.

I wonder if it is refund, would Samsung offer any compensation for the customers. This is merely because most customers already buy some accessories for their phone such as casing, screen protector, microsd card and so on. Apart from that, the time that the customers spend just to get all these sorted out.

Now that you have mentioned, I wonder how would the accessories maker feel about the news? Surely Note 7 will be release again?

ya, note7 curve not that bad... but i still found it useless... i watch a lot of videos on the phone and i browse a lot of websites. movies... you know la... the curved edges spoil the mood. for websites, they should design better la... but some sites that maximise the page... i end up having to turn my phone to the sides a bit to read.

then there's smart select. i recently wanted to crop out something from the website and when i used the pen and had to crop from the edges... it was near impossible. in the end, i used the old screenshot method and then cropped with fingers. it was from here that i realised my main use for the pen... i can now easily do with finger.

plus... curved screen... really cannot use any SP. what a pain.

On the scale of 10, how has the curved screen affected your daily use of the phone?
