SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 7- DISASTER - REVIEW

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 7 - DISASTER- COMPLETE REVIEW

The Galaxy Note 7 was originally released mid-August, and    

by September, devices were being pulled off the market 

due to numerous reports of explosions and injuries. After 

recalling 2.5 million devices worldwide, Samsung spent a 

few weeks retooling the devices, and on October 1st, it 

resumed sales of the Galaxy Note 7. Once sales and 

exchanged devices were out there, reports of explosions 

resumed, too—Samsung didn't actually stop the phones from 

blowing up. Just yesterday, Samsung announced a second 

recall for the devices, and instead of just a recalling 

specific units in certain territories, it called on "all 

carrier and retail partners globally" to accept returns 

and stop sales. How it blast?

Samsung is expected to issue a worldwide recall after 

more than 35 Samsung Galaxy Note 7 units reportedly 

exploded. While the global recall  become official, a 

fresh unit in Australia has exploded leaving the owner 

with a huge AUD 1,800 (roughly Rs. 91,600 or $1,400) 

damage bill. This is the first case of a Samsung Galaxy 

Note 7 explosion reported in Australia, and the blast 

happened while the smartphone was charging.

The owner, going by the name Crushader on Reddit, relayed 

the entire experience. He says that the Samsung Galaxy 

Note 7 was kept on charge (with the original adapter and 

cable) in his hotel room. He woke up to find his device 

in flames. The explosion managed to char his hotel 

bedsheet and carpet as well. When he contacted Samsung, 

the customer care representative replaced his device with 

a temporary Samsung Galaxy J1, and also promised to take 

care of the huge hotel bill.

Furthermore, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

is also looking to issue some preventive measures for 

flights following reports of smartphone exploding. The 

FAA is considering to ban all recalled products from 

being taken on flights. "If the device is recalled by the 

manufacturer, airline crew and passengers will not be 

able to bring recalled batteries or electronics that 

contain recalled batteries in the cabin of an aircraft, 

or in carry-on and checked baggage," the FAA said in a 

statement.

The FAA will only be able to make this ban official for 

the Galaxy Note 7 after Samsung involves the US Consumer 

Product Safety Commission (CPSC) - something the consumer 

safety agency has already argued in favour of. 

Presumably, this is required before the FAA can legally 

ban the device from flights.

 The issue has been narrowed down to a fault in Samsung's 

own SDI batteries that are housed in more than 70 percent 

of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices.
