Yes, exact same here, even down to where it broke and how it broke. I shook the phone until enough came out I could grab a hold of and get it out.

Must be something with fast charging. I used the fast charger I got with my N7 and no charging. I plugged it in to a usb port on an outlet adapter and it charged. I thought that I had a dud as well.

I took this just to see how good the camera was.

I noticed it as well. It is also mentioned here..... https://community.sprint.com/t5/Samsung-Note-Series/Note-8-Pre-launch-Info-and-Questions/m-p/971223#M1

I had the 2 piece Tech21 case for my N7 and liked it. I think I am going to try this one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074XZ16ZH/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=IACP9B86Q1K76&colid=MIWOJN0UZR8U&tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5939297 Same 2 piece design that was kind to screen protectors. I will...

Re: Stupidity or Incompetence? Factory workers weren't behind this. If they were, the lot numbers would give it away. Samsung could have traced it back to the date/shift/factory as to what the batches were. Instead the bad batteries have been made by different companies at different times...

Other industries use removable batteries with a water resistant design. The problem is that removable batteries add thickness. They also negate some of the time that Samsung figures for planned obsolescence. Samsung could easily engineer it to be removable and still be a premium device. It...
