Samsung halts Galaxy Note 7 sales after battery explosions

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- Samsung suspended sales of its Galaxy Note 7 smartphone on Friday, just two weeks after the flagship phone's launch, after finding batteries of some of the gadgets exploded while they were charging.

Koh Dong-jin, president of Samsung's mobile business, said customers who already bought Note 7s will be able to swap them for new smartphones, regardless of when they purchased them.

Samsung is issuing what amounts to its first global recall of the flagship smartphone because it has not found ways to specify exactly which phones may endanger users.

Oh right... Like it was "their" decision.... :lol:




The halting of sales would have happened all by itself.

On my flight to San Francisco this past Monday when they asked that computers be stowed and phones set to airplane mode, trays, seats, etc... they also specifically asked that all Galaxy Note 7 phones be turned off for the duration of the flight.
