karma at its finest.

#explodegate

Apple has been forcing Samsung to make moves. The note 7 was intended to be released around 1 month before apples flag ships as predicted. They wanted to try to stay ahead of the game, but now their phones are facing a dangerous issue. Exploding phones, my gosh, negligence on Samsungs end.

                  Perhaps Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe is alternative to N7.

                  Asus, please don't repeat the mistakes in pricing like in N7.

                      - lags and poorer performance than Oneplus 3;
                      - unwanted curved screen that scratches easily;
                      - really inflated 850 EUR price. Should be up to 500 EUR, especially assuming it may burn while charging.

                        There are five explosion so far from this phone
                        4 from South Korea and 1 from oversea

                        Fix the damn thing Samsung but we know you are too cheap to do any kinda of recall even if you do

                                Welll, first i wanna say people just don't stop jumping on the "hate wagon".
                                And the issue is just for korea and neightboiring countries, hell even samsung stopped selling it and decided to fix the issue, isn't that enough resonsible for you? I agree that Samsung may have rushed the release of the Note 7, but at least they are taking actions and didtributing free replacement units.
                                People have to understand that Samsung, and their products, have changed, but when people see that their favourite bashing and shaming sheep, is no longer that bad, the just hold on it and keep bashing their imaginary "Shamesung".

                                AND the Note 7 has good performance , and was not intended for stupid performance ravers who think a milisecond matters between its performance and the Iphone. I mean, of course the Iphone will be faster as a matter of optimisation due to their closed system and few products, but Android is intended for people who are not afraid to INNOVATE and try new things ( i am not bashing Apple hear as i love IOS and the App Store design).

                                And for people bashing for the S pen getting stuck, Samsung is already offering free replacement units.

                                No brand or product is perfect, but Samsung is very good at what they do: trying to ofder the phones that will appeal to most people.

                                + The Note 7 is really selling well in the market and is intended to people who love designing... especially owners of Note 3/4/5.
