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.
