Little bit late to the news on this one (: 

 

They released a video about it last week, though it seems to be unlisted for some reason.

samsung fucked themselves so hard with this, two different battery malfunctions in a single product series? let this be a lesson to all company's to not cut corners on consumer safety.

So are they going to try again with the note 7, or just go straight to the note 8?

The Note 7 is dead. There is no way to market it or anything by that name. Note 8 is the next chapter.

just like last year with the S7 release; first they will bring out S8, then they will bring out a larger version with a S-pen, call it the Note 8, and charge ~40% more for it

Samsung isn't really to blame. It was very unfortunate, yes, but they didn't even produce the second battery.

The Note 7 was marketed and sold. Why would they name it the Note 7 again?

Generally there are a lot more changes than just a pen...

??? how is the company that sold explosive phones under their brand, the company that is responsible by law for consumer safety not to blame?

[AlTech]

Thanks to the exploding success of the Galaxy Note 7, people have suddenly remembered that Quality Control and Quality Assurance is a thing!

You made it sound like it's their fault that the battery was malfunctioning. They didn't produce it. It was two different issues, it wasn't like it was the same mistake made twice. Same component, yes, different problem.

I'm pretty sure the other companies don't test their batteries as extensively as Samsung does now. So it could easily have happened to any manufacturer. So to say they cut corners is also false.

It sort of was their fault. It was built to Samsung's specifications. They also took responsibility for that. 

The fact, that the battery manufacturers didn't tell Samsung off for proposing a battery design that couldn't possibly fit in a crammed space with such a high density, is another matter.

it is their fault because they are end responsible. they sell the product, they have to check this. it doesn't matter what other company's do, if it happened to them i would blame them just as much. this stuff shouldn't go past QC, they cut corners. universal to any company that lets that pass trough QC.

Indeed , we obviously can't hold responsible the company selling this premium product with barely any quality control and asking for a shit load of money, obviously.

True but im supprised they haven't sued the second manufacturer because if you knew that there was an issue in the first battery why not check the second battery so that it dosen't happen again.

Took a flight last Tuesday, domestic only. They're still making a point out of mentioning the phone is banned for flight. I am at this point not sure if it wasn't the biggest publicity stunt ever seen since the other, non-face-melting models seem to be selling just fine.
