The Note 7 has a serious exploding problem. afaik no other major phone had a global recall due to explosions.

 

There is no (easy) way for anyone to know if a note 7 is original or a replaced one.

One of these days, the iPhone is going to be on the FAA banned list and Samsung users are going to be like, "we've had this feature for years".

The exploding phone will feature in the next 007 movie. 

 

If the Note line becomes tarnished beyond repair, may be a good opportunity to snag a really good phone at reasonable cost due to lower demand. Kind of callous, but something worth bringing up regardless.

Yea apparently Galaxy sales have gone through the roof over at ISIS.

 

Jokes aside, the Note 7 is still a really good phone and if this debacle lowers the resale value of it then I might get one just for fun.

Im actually really really glad I dident buy this phone... I still have my old Note 4. Note 7 pisses me off because theres no removable battery and other things that made the note 4 special. And now they are exploding. Why buy a phone with a battery you cant replace because the battery will be junk in 2 years because of charging cycles and then you will have to get a new refurbished phone. My battery on the Note 4 finally IMO went after 2 years of use and I ordered 2 extra new batterys and the battery life is amazing again. The Note 4's hardware is actually still quite good even today.

While not removable in a quick sense, with time and tools, most phones (even iPhones) can have their battery replaced with little drama. 

 

If I could find one for cheap, I'd probably buy a recall unit, pull the original battery, and replace it myself when they become available.

I don't know if it can be considered a blow to the note brand or to samsung itself. As with all these cases I make my judgement on a per device basis, so I don't care in the slightest as long as the new models don't, in fact, explode. Much of the general public however is still in a state where the only distinction between phones in their mind is samsung or apple. If they get the impression that a samsung phone will probably explode in their hands they are just going to buy an iphone.

Well they can make the argument that the Note 7 is a dangerous device, since that S-Pen can be turned into a lethal weapon, in the right hands ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
