Samsung galaxy note 7 exploding.

Reports from the US and South Korea had it that the Samsung galaxy note 7 battery was exploding during charging or after, these reports lead to some information that samsung would be stopping shipments of the galaxy note 7, as a result of the reports on the galaxy note 7's explording while charging.

Samsung said for customers who had gotten the galaxy note 7, would still be able to swap it for a new one.

Samsung had already sold alot of units of the smartphone 2.5 million units infact.

President of samsung's mobile business Koh Dong-jin told reporters "There was a tiny problem in the manufacturing process, so it was very difficult to figure out''.It was confirmed that some 35 samsung galaxy note7 devices had this particular problem,this has resulted in a complete world recall of the devices so this issue would be fixed.

 Although it seems that users could solve the problem by just replacing the battery of samsung galaxy note 7. The Tech giants actually stated that this battery exploding only affects roughly 0.1% of the samsung note 7 users.

 This is quite unforunate for Samsung, because with this news of the battery problem, even if it does not affect a very good number of the devices.

Truth be told, Samsung has been excellent the way this whole issue was handled, by putting a recall on time. This is coming up just when samsung's biggest competition is about to drop its

much awaited device. I personally hope this doesn't affect the sales of the Samsung Gear S3 smartwatch.

This is the view of BBC's Zoe Kleinman, BBC technology reporter

"This is an extraordinary decision for a tech giant to make based on so few reported incidents - Samsung says it is aware of only 35 cases worldwide.

It's bad timing so soon after a big product launch and especially given that Samsung's rival Apple is understood to be preparing to unveil a new iPhone.

However, the firm says it has discovered a problem with the battery cell and is halting sales while it inspects its suppliers.

People who have already bought the device - which is only available to pre-order in the UK - will be issued with a replacement.

Stories about exploding smartphone batteries do make the news from time to time - lithium ion batteries are flammable but very widely used."

Concluding, this is was a honest mistake by Samsung happening to a very few number of devices, that not withstanding very dangerous. If this influences your decision on getting yourself the galaxy note 7, you would never blamed. Although this issue is not common it should be taking seriously. Samsung has started investigations and taken apporatate actions.
