The problem being that if you google S7 EDGE burns, you'll likely come to the conclusion that the S7E burns / explodes just as frequently as the replacement Note7 - at this point, my best guess is that the S7 series, which has almost identical innards as the N7, suffers from the same design flaw. So far, the media has been going after the N7, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the S7 series had to be recalled as well.
Funny how the media doesn't go after such things like the iPhone and s7 edge having fires also. ADoubt it. If that was the case, the media would be all over it. They'd be crushing Samsung more than they are now. I got tired of all the aggravation with the Note 7. I love the Note series of phones. I've owned th 3, 4 and 7. I'm just going to wait and see if they come out with a new Note. I'm sure that I'll go right back to it when they actually fix what ever is wrong with the current Note.
The n7 is getting the attention because Samsung announced a global recall, which the media reported. Now any phone fire is linked to the n7, even if it isn't a n7. It is assumed a n7 untill it is proven otherwise, and the media never corrects the report.That's the first I've heard that and I seriously doubt it. If the S7 was catching fire as much as the N7, it would have already had a recall.

Yes, but the n7 gets the media called every time now since its the one in the news and had a huge recall. The n7 over shadows the rest right now.It seems to be 4 instances total across 3 different devices. Granted, small sample size - there are very likely more out there - but with 3 devices, if they're as bad as the Note 7, we should have around 10,000 examples.
They did for me.Will they do a refund instead of exchange?
It won't be long.They wouldn't negate my Next contact without an official recall. The store reps would have me buy an alternative phone I don't want.
Keeping mine till it explodes or doesn't. The Pixel XL looks too much like an Iphone and not even close to the Note 7. The LG V20 is ok but not water resistant and no wireless charging. So short of someone coming to my house and physically taking my phone back I'm keeping it. I'm on AT&T next program and bought my Note 7 and had it replaced at Best Buy 3 weeks ago.
wouldn't be so sure about that - if you google "S7 EDGE" and "burns", the number of results is quite staggering - I'm not sure why nobody has been addressing it. I guess it's because it hasn't happened on a flying airplane yet?
The patterns seems to be exactly the same as for the Note7 - devices spontaneously going up in flames while not being charged. To me, things are clear: there's currently no safe Samsung S7 series device - I won't be buying Samsung for the foreseeable future.
Does anyone know if AT&T still giving us $25 bill credit for choosing another Samsung device? I know they were doing it with the recalled Note 7, but what about the replacement Note 7? I am probably going tomorrow morning to replace it with S7 Edge.
