It's Official – Galaxy Note 7 Is No Longer Going to Be Produced

It was definitely a difficult pill to eat, and equally much as Samsung hated to do it, it was for the safe of its loyal customers. Samsung has officially announced that it is no longer going to be producing its Galaxy Note seven, citing an end of the sales chapter for the flagship phablet.

Samsung Would Now Benefit From Focusing on Its Upcoming Galaxy S8 Rather Than Pestering on Near Its Galaxy Note 7

Samsung made the following argument in a filing with South Korean regulators that information technology would permanently cease sales of the device, which is just a day after it announced a temporary halt to production of the smartphones.

"Taking our client's safety as our highest priority, we accept decided to halt sales and production of the Galaxy Notation vii."

Samsung's global recall of 2.5 one thousand thousand Note 7s began more than than a calendar month agone after batteries in some phones overheated and caught fire. Even after the devices were replaced and Samsung claimed that the smartphone didn't pose a threat to users, consumers received another surprise and not in a good way. Nosotros covered ii incidents where a replacement unit of a Galaxy Note 7 caught fire; ane in an plane, and other where the owner of the phone was really hospitalized.

There are several reasons why Samsung might be committed to ending production of its Galaxy Note 7. The numerous number of lawsuits that the visitor would accept to tackle would eventually become a nightmare for the manufacturer, and information technology would do everything in its power to avert that. Additionally, information technology was reported that Samsung as well sold a clamper of its stake in a variety of tech companies, virtually likely to raise cash for the upcoming Galaxy S8. If this move was the company'south original intent, then it is one of the well-nigh prudent decisions the company has taken in a long time.

Raising cash would allow the company to farther improve the design of the upcoming handset in order to go far extremely user-friendly. The only gripe users may notice is that it will not sport an S-Pen accompaniment, which in my opinion is not something to crib about. Samsung was reported to expedite the announcement of its Galaxy Note 7 in lodge to get a lead confronting Apple's iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus and while the plan did go the visitor's style, the outcome apparently didn't.

Allow us hope the company does not make the same fault with its Milky way S8.
