Noel, 13 Oct 2016It will be a mistake to walk away from the Note name..the N... moreSamsung has long given up the line.

It used to be late year's flagship. A better equipped, better looking Galaxy S.

These days it was merely a rehash with old specs (by then) with incredibly large price. Since the line was dead already it's good to know that the naming follows/followed.

    Good, the note line was dead with Note 5 anyway. Just because you add a pen to a galaxy S it's not turned into a pro phone, it's still a galaxy S phone.

    The Note line was/is long dead, time to remove the name as well. Who knew, after all, this whole debacle had some use...

      Very disappointed in Samsung, they can change it's name (clothes) but underneath it's the same subpar phone.

          They should change it to Galaxy Ghost... it comes back from the dead and haunts us more.

                  It will be a mistake to walk away from the Note name..the Note brand is Sammys baby. The Note stands tall in the eyes of many Android fans. It has spurred many Android OEMS to follow suit and create this class of very productive large phones called Phanlets.
                  When Apple had problems with their iPhones, they didn't go for a name change..they figured out the problem and soldered on.
                  Yes Samsung might have cancelled the Note 7 but that shouldn't stop them from making Note 8 next year. They shouldn't try to over do it feature wise or alter the chipset to attain certain results as implied by some. I love my Note 4, Note 5 looks great hasn't had any issues..I am sure the Note8 will be great as well and please the throngs of Note fans.
                  When u falter, don't give up get back up stronger and power on...Go Sammy.

                      If the come out with a new name to replace Note, they better come out with much improved innovations as well.

                          I'm looking forward to the next best Note from Samsung. I don't care whether it is called Note 6 , note 8 or Note7 life . It will be the best smartphone in the market.

                              The Note series is one of the best smartphone ever made if not the best. This fiasco happpened because of the greedy corporate executives of Samsung.

                                I think these 2/3 yrs Samsung had been cutting corners here n there which lead up to note 7 problems. If Samsung doesn't deviate from its earlier objectives it will still continue to be a premium brand for yrs to come. Samsung should instead investigate the cause of the problem n ensure that this doesn't happen again on next the note model.

                                      The name isn't important , what's important is that Samsung finds out what really happened they made the note 7 heat up like that, a name change is just for marketing but a real investigation would help any future Samsung mobile regardless of its series, and I agree that this won't affect the note sales just, but Samsung mobile in general that's would Samsung should save the rest of the year in its other product lines, cause mobile market took a huge hit no doubt
