    Samsung is very sorry, but they builded a special version for Kim Jong Un, unfortunately because a mistake this version was build and sold for the whole world. The problem came by a computer crash, because the crash a additional problem with the version number was created (Note 6 or Note 7), but all the documents are lost, so Samsung is very sorry for the bad decision.

      I have had the note since the released date when I charge my phone it doesn't even get warm. My note 4 did. So I say the people that made the party charger should stop there production and see if it's their issue....

          Im having note 7 for 2 weeks now, it's not even get warm while charging the feel cool while charging... most of the phone I got b4 got very warm while charging though...

            think bigger, like samsung used to do. today samsung thinks apple, and that is why they fail on the hardware but focus on design.

As simple as that. Don't you get it? Use a super high specs on Note7, what is there to expect on Galaxy S8? 8gb ram? 500gb internal? 24mp camera? I don't think so.

                Anonymous, 31 Aug 2016There seems to be a lot of haters on note 7 The isheep are... moreim a samsung user, but yeah i hate the note 7. worse battery than s7 edge, and horrible in battery tests. even note 5 beat it, with its 3000 mah battery. only 4gb ram when 6 was the plan. only exynos 8890 and not 8893 as planned. and not 2 editions, flat and curvy as planned.

                so as a heavy phone user, i would say that note 7 is as big a flop as s6 was. the gear s3 looks nice tho.

                  Savor , 01 Sep 2016Damn it, Samsung! A recall because of exploding batteries! ... moreWhen was the last time you used an iPhone? I haven't had to rely on iTunes in years...

                    I blame this on all the idiots forcing Samsung to switch to unstable USB Type C. Use a third party charger then it explode. USB Type C is the stupidest thing ever being forced on Samsung. Samsung even said the market is not ready but still due to pressure they made it anyway.

                        I am not stuck picking an INFERIOR flagship.

                        iPhone 7 is crap. Don't want to be stuck using iTunes every single time I want to delete a photo in an album. When I connect a phone to computer, I want it to read the internal storage. Not open up stupid iTunes that crashes on 90% of computers because it isn't a Mac. I also need my Bluetooth data transfer, torrent apps, and file manager.

                        Nexus looks crap too. Boring stock Android. Never elite in any other area like camera, battery life, or display. Nobody buys Nexus except Android purists and they ate overrated by their owners since you will sacrifice hardware for better software.

                        LG V20 has an ugly camera hump. LG has failed in design with the G5 and V20 with these ugly visors. It has removable battery but VR is crap on LG. No water-resistance. The Samsung flagships still look better.

                        NONE of these other phones interest me. If this gets too serious, I guess I will have to settle for the S7 edge. Damn shame, Shamesung. You made the best 2016 flagship for me only to cripple it with a faulty battery.

                                  so it can happen to all phones with bad chargers.

                                        "New", it's the S7 edge with pen people! Samsung is heavily downsizing on RnD these days.

                                        They have started to release the same product again and again (S7 edge in turn is a tiny modification of S6+ EDGE), they finally took a page from the way Apple does business and it's the one that does the most harm to the consumer ... oh well.
