      In Malaysia, Note 7 has a reputation of #Brickgate
      But certainly not as good as the #Explodegate in Korea.

            This is worse than Apple's iPhone 4 signal / iPhone 6 bending problem

            http://news.naver.com/main/read.nhn?mode=LSD&mid=sec&oid=016&aid=0001110968&sid1=001

            According the this latest news in Korea
            Samsung stopped the entire production of Note 7 in South Korea
            and decided to recall the entire 400000 units from customers

            They will disassemble the phones and replace the batteries but theres will be no refund or exchange with a new unit

            Nice one Samsung, how about us here in North America?

                apparently its something to do with a battery
                those note 7 just released in china got a different ones lol
                also released a quick software patch related to battery in south korea
                dont think that will do the trick for a long run though they will have to recall to replace the batteries

                  All those users (at least 3 from south korea) was indeed using their original charger
                  cause its not Samsung's first time blaming on their customers when something goes wrong with their product
                  apparently one of them was exploded while it was just sitting on a table while many people were around

                    Anonymous, 01 Sep 2016its not news.... thats why even gsm arena is not reporting ... more"News is packaged information about current events happening somewhere else."

                    It's not happening then? Or are you just making excuses to defend a company you don't even own/work with?

                    Also if you're a (perfectly) sane person, there's absolutely no need to repeat a phrase THREE times.

                      Exploding during charging??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? How did the charging process output converts that enough volts to make explotion? This is probably a charger fault or these people are just making a false complain or they probably just working to Apple or other company that wanted Samsung to down a hill! Even if the charger can produce 20 volts of output power into the phone, I dont think that's enough to make an explosion or the charger just blows up first for that process and stop the output power since some small parts of charger can't handle those volts!

                          There are faulty note 4 that are brandnew. Not limited to used ones.

                                  i bought note 7 only 2 days then it stuck with samsung logo and always restart every 2 min
                                  damn samsung

                                    A Note 4 user, 31 Aug 2016You forgot: - lags and poorer performance than Oneplus 3; ... moreWhy you still pretending as a Note 4 user? I bet you only buy a secondhand Note 4, if you still complaining about the pricing then go buy chinese crap and praise them every time you want. People who bought Note7 because they want a beautiful screen, great camera, great battery life, nice after sales service and of course the S-Pen.

                                    Note7 beats the buggy crap OP3 not only performance but in many way from the display, battery life, camera etc.
