#note7 recall

The introduction of the Galaxy Note7 was also well-received. Barely weeks after the release of the Galaxy Note7, reports of devices exploding (more like bursting into flames) were already circulating in the media. More reports came in and in less than a month, over 70 reported cases of Note7 exploding is hard to deny. Airlines started banning the use of Note7 handsets in flights and more advisories were released. Eventually, Samsung admitted that there was some manufacturing defect in some of the batteries that were shipped with the Note7. That would have been a minor hold-up but since the battery on the Note7 is non-removable, the entire phone had to be replaced. The “antenna-gate” and the “bend-gate” that hounded Apple a couple years back pales in comparison to what Samsung had to endure with the Galaxy Note7, much less the financial setback this type of recall is costing them. Reports estimate the recall would amount to about $1 billion for the 2.5 million devices shipped since the initial release.
