Samsung Says Turn Off Galaxy Note 7
-
My in laws just had to have their refrigerator replaced because after six months the Samsung repair man couldn't even get a part for it. Brand new and under manufacturer's warranty it was unfixable! Computer problems.
-
This was like Friday, just happened.
-
And, I was going to purchase one of those, too!!
Oh well, I will have to see what other smartphones are around and their specs.

I had an LG phone and really enjoyed it. I have a Motorola phone right now but they were purchased by Lenovo so not sure I would get one again.

Dang, that's right. That leaves a long list of....
Google
to get Android phones from. -
Well, HTC is making the Google Pixel, so who knows if they will put out their own HTC branded phone or not? I suppose they could become a player in the US market again.
-
Looks like it has been permanently discontinued:

Well, that's what the get for attempting to count like Microsoft and their versions of Windows.
-
There are rumors that Samsung didn't actually replace/fix the batteries, instead that perhaps they only did a software update that limited the charge to 80% capacity.
This doesn't explain the phone burning up on the airplane. Supposedly it wasn't being charged or even used. It was in the user's pocket, getting hot, he pulled it out of his pocket and tossed it on the floor and it burned the carpet as well.
Definitely bad news for Samsung - How do you trust any Samsung phone now?
-
@Dashrender Let others buy them first, lol.

Well I guess that solidifies my descion for my iPhone lol 14th day to return is right here

Sadly...I turned mine off for good. I have a Pixel XL on order. Currently using a Moto G4 until the Pixel arrives.
I have been offered to use and have an iPhone 7+ 256GB model as my daily driver but I just can't go iOS. It purely a preference than an prejudice. Plus, I like having file access upon plugging it in via USB. I don't like the whole iTunes Sync thing. I know I can copy photos from the phone to my PC for my main photo storage but can't simply delete from the file system.

And believe me, that iPhone 7+ is calling my name but will try to be patient for a week until my Pixel XL arrives.

It is most certainly blind prejudice then because what you say you cannot do works
perfectly.
