Samsung has announced it's ending production of the Galaxy Note 7 around the world, pulling the plug on the phone after a months-long controversy over its defective, dangerous batteries. "Taking our customer’s safety as our highest priority, we have decided to halt sales and production of the Galaxy Note 7," said Samsung in a statement. The announcement follows yesterday's news that the company is recalling all Note 7 devices, including the supposedly safe replacement phones.
I have Samsung's previous-gen phone, the S7 Edge -- glad I didn't upgrade to the Note 7! Ouch! :blink:
Apparently the issue goes beyond a batch of defective batteries, since some phones with the replacement batteries are also catching fire.
