Samsung smartphone always had some kind of small problems, there wasn't a perfect Samsung device ever built, every series had its share of problems but this year's Samsung Note 7 tops them all.
Bringing a Samsung Note 7 on a plane is now strictly illegal!

Bringing a Samsung Note 7 on a plane is now strictly illegal!

After first exploding phones, Samsung issued a recall to replace the defected batteries, apparently, the phones still managed to blow themselves off and Samsung ended Note & production altogether, probably for good.

The explosions are SO violent that Federal Aviation Administration of the United States decided to make a crime for taking a note 7 inside a plane. I'm pretty sure this is the first smartphone in history to reach such an achievement!

It's not looking good for Samsung smartphones as a whole, sure the Galaxy S7 is still a great phone and with the recent death of note 7, Samsung decided that some of Note's cool features should be updated and transferred to the S7, giving users a nice treat.

What do you think would be Samsung next step? Will a note 8 be release or is the Note line done forever?

That is a really good question. I was wondering the same thing. What if someone gets on a plane with a Samsung Note 7 say in the UK and flies to the USA?

YOu can use Samsung Note 7 as a frag grenade in Counter Strike. I'm sure that I've seen this mod somewhere.

They weren't able to fix their problem with the battery so that's why are considered a flight hazard and flight companies forbids them on board. I know that DHL also refuse to deliver the phones with their planes / trucks.

It's pity because the phone had great specifications and was worth the money. Samsung made an announcement that they stopped the production worldwide and they will reimburse their customers or present some alternative.

OMG that image is hectic, I am going to assume that is you being silly Cristian and not a real Samsung Note 7 exploding LOL.

I am glad that the Samsung Note 7 is not allowed on planes anymore. This is a good move if what I have been hearing about this phone is all true. You're not allowed to take a bomb on a plane so you shouldn't be allowed to take an exploding phone either.

It really is disappointing that Samsung has come to short with this phone. I am sure this whole saga has been so damaging to their company.

Fire in the HOLE! Galaxy Notes have been considered grenades for the past 2 months or so. I think the note is done, if they re invent it you will see a huge decline in sales. People are just afraid they they will get hurt or blown up using them now. As you mentioned they replaced the battery issue and then they still managed to explode. the icing on the cake is here, now you cant even travel with them on a plane. It will take a ton of paper work now for Galaxy to get the next note cleared for travel. I think the fact that they have moved features over to the regular galaxy 7 is prime proof that they are abandoning ship. This is a great topic needed to get covered thanks for sharing.

I was not aware of that. Considering the substantial number of cases that were reported I think that it was a good move actually. Personally I am not inclined to purchase a samsung device anytime soon or ever again to be honest. Apart from these explosions I do not think that Samsung offer good quality devices. Both my tablet and my previous samsung phone had battery problems in that the battery was depleted really quickly, and it took several hours to charge fully.

The policy of airlines to prohibit the bringing of Samsung Note 7 on airplanes is for the safety measure due to the reports that it has an exploding battery. I have read that Samsung had already acknowledged the problem and attributed the exploding battery to the battery manufacturer which is s third party. Nevertheless is it Samsung that is the main responsible because it is the brand of their phone that is at fault.
