Note 7 exploded in hands of a 6yr old-now has serious traumas

[RexinOridle]

Let's be the Devi's advocate:

   1. Why would a 6 year old play with such an expensive equipment?

   2. Why would you use this device after knowing it's dangerous?

   3. Samsung has already executed a worldwide recall, why would you use it?

It wasn't actually a galaxy note, it was a different Samsung phone.  Also heaps of people let their kids play with their phones, six year olds actually are capable of not ruining things.

The boy's family initially told the New York Post that the exploding phone was the recalled Samsung Galaxy Note 7. But CBS 2 in New York reported later that the boy's mother clarified that it was not the Galaxy Note 7, but instead was an older Samsung model, the Galaxy Core.

SO it may be that the bad battery syndrome could be over multiple devices!!!Yikes!

Ignorant to give a 6 year old a phone while also ignoring Samsung's warning's the past few weeks? Yea, totally Samsung's fault.

It wasn't actually a galaxy note, it was a different Samsung phone.  There weren't any warnings or anything.

 

Seriously, is there any for the correction to be stickied to the top of the thread, or can @Djole123 edit his title with the correction?

Kids? They're six, how many six year olds do you know that watch the news. At that point it was whoever gave the phone to the boys fault.

If you'd have bothered to have read ahead in the thread you'd see me arguing it is also Samsung's fault, but the fault trickles down to whoever gave the phone to the boy in the first place.

I originally saw it on the news, not LTT.

sorry but no. your assuming that the person knew about the note 7s problems. they didnt know the fucking phone type! its samsungs fault. end of.

1 my 5 year old plays with both my phone and my ipad. she has since she was 2. there is a tone of kids apps and you tube has loads of good videos for kids. 

2/3 they didnt know the model type.....you expect them to know about the recall?

 

 

[RexinOridle]

By you, I meant the parents, obviously.

 

As I said, let's be the devil's advocate.

[Devin92]

As @Spartan Jack 17 said its a totally different handset. Can OP edit this or One of the mod can fix this?

the parents could simply not have been watching the news, lets not jump to conclusions on this.

I personally got a text explaining the issue from my carrier

I think this is less about the info getting out and more about people being ignorant. I mean, its been all over the news both TV and Internet and on Facebook and Twitter. Its not like Samsung can send a person out to everyone's house to say "Hey the phone is being recalled". People are pissed because they have to wait a month or more for a replacement. Well too damn bad. Samsung has done right, they issued a recall very quickly and have stopped production. I mean shit, you want to be pissed at some one how about General Motors for that stupid ignition switch that took them a decade to fix. If the manufacture of a device say "Stop using it because it may explode", then you stop using the mother fucker. People do not heed warnings and then blame Samsung for when the thing explodes. Unless you have been living under a rock you should know about the recall. Because A) most people that are part of the older generation still watch the news. B) the new Generation uses social media, C) if you live under a rock then you dont have a Note 7. 

 

Samsung is going to pay big time with this recall. I mean they are talking 1 Billion dollars to settle the recall. Then you have to think about the millions of dollars from law suits, then add the damage to the Samsung name. I wonder if the Note name will continue or will they choose another name for their larger devices?

Looks like it started in China as well...

When I was 7 I got the brand new iPhone 4 at the time. I was responsible and has never dropped it, the display is prestine until I dropped it in late 2015. 7 year old me handled a iPhone better than 13 year old me, with a cracked 6s+.

Then it's the grandmas fault. Why does a grandma have a smart phone too?

In theory she's a responsible adult... why SHOULDN'T she have one? Depends on the grandma of course but I don't see the problem in principle with an oldie using new technology...

It's probably just a character trait, I'm also extremely careful with my tech - even more so if it was expensive. One drop can happen unfortunately, you can't really check every second that it isn't slipping out of your pocket, but as a general trend I've noticed so many people breaking their phone's screen regularly when breaking it ONCE for me would feel like a catastrophe.

That's why every device that has a high capacity not-so-stable battery should have a "weak spot" both on the battery itself and the body. That way if battery shorts out it makes a freally hot and painfull sparkler but won't explode. Making devices like phones airtight with front and back reinforced by not easily breakable materials should have one strategically placed spot of weak material for just that purpose. Doesn't cost anything to implement such a thing but I guess most companies don't care about such stuff enough.

That's a great idea until you put it in your pocket and have your leg barbecued...

ISIS claims responsibility!

[TheReal1980]

It seems ISIS got a Samsung S7? News broke today from RT.

I do from the bottom of my heart, but I'm a fucking idiot and do dangerous shit with it. Surprisingly I've only dropped this large slippery phone once so far. I almost do check every minute or so if my phone is actually in my pocket, I always feel like its not in my pocket.
