R.I.P Samsung Note7

Samsung have taken the decision to stop production of the Galaxy Note 7, as new cases of smartphone explosions occurred in recent days in China, Korea and the United States. And this degradation for units believed to be safe. According to the Korean press, this decision was taken in conjunction with consumer protection agencies.
Meanwhile, US operators have stopped marketing the PHABLET and not offering replacement copies of the first batch of mobile (with batteries SDI) by those of the second batch. Moreover, European consumers who pre-order the Note 7 were informed that deliveries are suspended until further notice. A sign that the general end of commercialization would take place quickly. And this is now the case.

Second reminder to Note 7
In an official press release, Samsung requires all its partners (operators and distributors) to stop selling the PHABLET even the second batch, and organize the return of products. Samsung says that the two generations of Note 7 to overheat and deteriorate with a risk to consumer safety.
The US subsidiary is one step further in detail. Consumers who purchased a Note 7 will have the opportunity to replace their PHABLET against a model of the series S7 (S7 or S7 Edge) with a full refund of the purchased accessories, as well as the price difference between the two moving. Add to this a $ 25 gift card. Guests also have the opportunity to request a full refund of the smartphone, which some will go to the competition.

The worst scenario
This is certainly the worst case scenario for Samsung. First, its flagship launch for the Christmas period is completely compromised. Then branding will be very affected, which will benefit the competing brands like Apple, Xiaomi and Huawei. These two should have a high-end PHABLET in the coming days, a perfectly calibrated timing. Finally, it will have a significant impact on the company's accounts. The first recall will cost over a billion dollars (not to mention the induced losses). The second will certainly worse. If the last financial report is pretty good, the next will logically catastrophic.
