    AnonD-203347, 06 Oct 2016They want to destroy Samsung.No, no, no, they just wanna sell some jack-less iPhone7 and Pixel crap. And keep up with shaking stock prices. They can not kill Samsung no matter how hard they try .
    Well....They own the best propaganda media, Wall Street and one of the best and biggest market,
    But Samsung own the high tech and the innovation.

      Good news.
      I hope Samsung die as soon as possible.
      No respect for this company that pay for fake reviews and build phones with cheap quality materials just like Xiaomi phones.

                If Samsung decided to sealed the battery inside a smartphone since after Note 4, they must make sure the battery inside need to be top quality, top priority and fundamental. Or else, they can go F themselves.

                    how are we sugar coating it?

                    Not surprised at all. There's been complaints about replacement units heating up also.

                        "Burnt Note 7 is in the hands of the Louisville Fire Department’s arson unit for investigation and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission is opening an investigation into the incident".

                        That's good. Do not send the unit back to Samsung without investigation first.

                                  Bet you right now that Samsung wished it didn't put the Galaxy branding on its Note line. Some of the mainstream consumers will probably now associate this disaster to future Galaxy S flagships as well.

                                    People can be in denial about all this but FAA and Southwest Airlines don't have a dog in this fight. Apple's marketshare is about 45% in the States and 13% globally. How does FAA and Southwest gain out of this by backing Apple?

                                    Check the news on it. Not just Apple loving sites called The Verge or Gizmodo. This isn't just a black eye for Samsung. These are two black eyes and third-degree burns. And now I hear Galaxy S8 will remove the headphone jack?

                                    Either LG V20 or the jack-less iPhone 7 Plus which still has an adapter packed with it and loud dual external speakers which the Note7 is weak at. And at least the V20 headphone jack won't act like a chimney like the Note7 will.

                                    This is really, really bad for Samsung no matter how you look at it. Yes, Note7 will now be dealing with double standards but you can't deny the criticism Samsung will get from it either. One month to correct this and still a problem.

                                    Safety first. Not just for me but everyone else. The more there are Note7 owners around you, the higher chances these freak issues might occur. Rather wait in line outside the Apple Store than wait in line at the hospital...
