Anonymous, 06 Oct 2016It could be, it could not be. Just be safe. Don't buy Samsung.This phone is amazing, but maybe the Z Force would be a better option (it has the best Android benchmarks yet, Moto Mods, Moto Pure stock experience, most resistant screen ever made for smartphones and so much more)

      Like i said in another post, people should totally avoid note 7 and other samsung smartphones to be safe, especially now that android has two other legitimate flagships in lg v20 and google pixel xl.

              Drago25013, 06 Oct 2016Samsung makes good phones fool.Samsung makes good phones?
              Samsung is only good at marketing and hence they able to lure dozens and dozens of uneducated or non-tech customers into buying their so called "good for nothing" phones. Their phones are literally nonsense.
              HTC and LG makes better phones than Samsung.

                WoW, just wow, and people call iphone users isheep... i cant believe people still thinks its fake, its a hoax, a black propaganda, the government has a hand in this, and all those conspiracy theory crap. it is what it is, just accept the fact that the note 7 is a flop because of the battery problem. samsung just looks forward to note 8 and redeem the damage done by note 7

                  This smells phishy. It could've been a pre-recall Note 7, and he could have managed to find a post-recall Note 7 box. It is not like it is super hard to find one. Maybe it was a concurrent that paid him and gave him the box and the defective Note 7? Or maybe even it was not linked to the battery? Maybe it was a lame copy? I hate people that jumps to conclusion and will say ''Oh man the Note 7 is dangerous OMG I'm gonna change to iPhone and Samsung is lame'' without thinking for a second (or even a split-second). In a super lucrative market like mobile devices, the only rule is ''Don't get caught''.

                    AnonD-507364, 06 Oct 2016Good news. I hope Samsung die as soon as possible. No r... moreSamsung makes good phones fool.

                      I think AT&T is at fault this time.

                          That's right. Don't let Samsung get their hands on it first. Who knows what they would do to avoid further damage to their reputation.

                                Zealots and PR groups out in force to do damage control, nope not gonna work. Note 7 is an epic fail no matter what Samsung does now. The damage is done. What they can do is listen to common sense have removable battery designs from here on out. Unfortunately that's asking too much common sense from braind3ad MBA type execs who are calling the shots.

                                  It's not news, the so called safe version have 7 fire cases in mainland China and 2 in Hongkong, when early cases came out Samsung and Korean media even accuse the users fraud or Inappropriate use.

                                      They should never have jump the number 6 to 7. Karma, the 7 is still a 6. 6 is a bad luck number in Korea. Sounds like this will be the end of the Note family.

                                        ithehappy, 05 Oct 2016I smell Apple.More like Pixel crap smell, this time.
                                        Considering the timing.
                                        But hey, Samsung is the biggest threat for the US stock meaning economy. SKorea is small country. Why should they be dominant in the huge US market?
                                        And why should Samsung take the biggest slice of the US based Android worldwide?. And why scare to death the US favorite Apple?
                                        It doesn't matter if Samsung are the best in the technology and innovation. US must strike back. Even if use the authorities, the media, and the President.
                                        And this Note line( family)...that no one in the World can make such device! How dare they??
                                        Note family must be killed for good.
                                        Samsung go home!
