Samsung had a really good year this year. It started with the new Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge that introduced further refinements to the already well-received Galaxy S6, S6 Edge and S6 Edge+. Sales figures were off the charts and Samsung seems to be on a winning streak for the last 2 consecutive years.
The introduction of the Galaxy Note7 was also well-received. It was supposed to be an affirmation that Samsung remains to be the “King of Android” that can easily slug it out with the iPhone and Apple’s massive cult-like following.
Then the unimagined happened. Barely weeks after the release of the Galaxy Note7, reports of devices exploding (more like bursting into flames) were already circulating in the media.
A couple of reports might just be isolated cases. Every now and then, we’ve seen reports of iPhones also bursting to flames too. But this one was different. More reports came in and in less than a month, over 70 reported cases of Note7 exploding is hard to deny.
