Samsung, carriers pushing update with safety alert to un-exchanged Galaxy Note 7 phones

Things must be really bad if Samsung puts out an official statement that a vast majority of users have opted for a refund.

But I think Samsung is big enough a company to bounce back from this.

"A Samsung spokeswoman notes that the "vast majority" of Galaxy Note 7 consumers have opted for a refund, or a different Galaxy-branded phone."

Either way, Samsung has its work cut out to relaunch the Note 7.

I'm still wondering whether Apple has the Pencil for the iPhone on its current roadmap; a niche that probably doesn't justify the added cost across a couple of hundred million devices.

There are reports in Korea that the replaced galaxy 7 notes are draining the battery really fast and the phones are getting too hot.  I'm so glad this despicable company is going down.  They had denied that causes of hundreds of workers in their semiconductor fab who got leukemia were work related for years.

This is one of those cases when you might want to link to an actual source, and especially considering this is your first post.

I did a quick search and found nothing, and no, as a matter of fact, I don't like Samsung either.

It'a breaking news in Korea and the reports are in Korean language so I thought no one will be able to read it but I guess you can use google translate.  Here is the link.

I searched for "Samsung denied workers poisoning", as I remembered the story.

Yeah, we all remember that story about worker poisoning. I'm looking for the one about reports that the Galaxy 7 is draining the battery and getting hot, which is kind of germane to the topic.
