Seeing is believing but it is happening as is. Samsung has decided to alert everyone who owns a Galaxy Note 7 to turn it off immediately. After yesterday, when we learned that the Korean manufacturer has ceased production of its flagship, a few hours ago it came to the fore to alert anyone who has a Note 7 to turn it off without thinking.
In an official announcement, Samsung has also mentioned that it will ask all operators and establishments to stop sales and distribution of the Galaxy Note 7 while continuing to investigate the cause for the explosions and fire. His other words are these: «Consumers with an original or replacement Galaxy Note 7 should turn it off and stop using it«.
An unprecedented fact for the Korean manufacturer and that achieved that the shares in the stock market have fallen 5% since they opened in Seoul. Samsung launched the Galaxy Note 7 with a 5,7-inch screen in August to anticipate the launch of the new iPhone 7. But everything was blurred when users who bought it began to see almost in their flesh how their phones were turned on or exploded.
The manufacturer moved tab and explained that it was the fault of the batteries that they overheated the device so that they finally caught fire. In early September, Samsung recalled 2,5 million devices worldwide.
Samsung offered new Note 7s to replace the defective ones, but these also have the same problem; even they caught fire without being loaded. Now it is the Korean company that joins the alerts so that a smartphone such as the Galaxy Note 7 is allowed to be used.
Something unheard of what is happening with a high-end product that is supposed to be on the cusp of technology. One should also wonder if those batteries that have barely evolved in recent years have a limit when it comes to reducing the thickness of the phone.
