[Poll] Should Samsung stop selling the Galaxy Note 7?

After the immense success of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, the Galaxy Note 7 was expected to offer Samsung an upper hand against Apple’s iPhone 7 devices.

There have been multiple reports...

Official Samsung statement doesn’t rule out a safety issue with the supposedly safe Galaxy Note 7

Samsung has been running a replacement program for the past couple of weeks for the Galaxy Note 7. It has promised to replace all initial units of the Galaxy Note 7 with new, safe handsets. These new units were supposed to be safe and devoid of the battery cell issue that caused this entire debacle in the first place.

Sadly, the information included in the filing doesn’t reveal anything about the device.
