Quote

Taking our customer's safety as our highest priority, we have decided to halt sales and production of the Galaxy Note 7

 

analysts cited by Reuters estimate that the whole fiasco surrounding Note 7's global blunder will cost Samsung  around 17 billion USD

Samsung initially estimated a sales figure of 19 million units during Note 7's lifetime, so far it's estimated they manufactured arount 4 million devices - Samsung will have to pay out of their pockets 1.6 trillion WON to safely dispose of the phones

 

will there be a Galaxy Note 8?

Now if only Samsung actually made the batteries... then we could be making jokes about the Military Division sneaking into the mobile division and making them into personal holy hand grenades!

well, would you be surprised if I told you the original problem with the Note 7 was blamed on the Samsung made batteries?

Samsung sourced batteries for their Note 7 from 3 parties:

• Samsung SDI
• LG Chem
• Amperex

Samsung has a hand in almost anything you can think of. They even have an insurance company.

not a repost at all - this is new info as only few hours ago

I chose to make a new topic and not post it in a previous one since GoodBytes chose to go with TheVerge as source for his new topic rather than using Reuters original source I linked - won't make that mistake again

if mods deem this as a repost, so be it

Your WSJ source is literally the same source as Samfisher, who used the Androidcentral quoting WSJ.

 

This is literally a repost in every sense. You referenced the same article as him, albeit indirectly, and his is locked.

That doesn't mean anything, you're literally just trying to change the subject

 

And don't tell me you didn't even look at the topics list, it looks like a quarter of the posts are about the note 7

I do searches by tags, is that hard to understand?

in forum view, topic aren't listed by creation date, but by last post date

 

two of the topics you quoted me are started by GoodBytes, aren't they reposts also!?!?

don't know what this "carl" is.

if it starts with a "i" and it's from apple, it's going to be crap

anything else from apple that doesn't start with "i", then the world ends
