*ORIGINAL POST*
Well, if you are thinking of buying a Note7, you're gonna have to wait a bit longer.
Samsung has suspended shipments of the Note7 for "quality testing". No word on what this specifically tests, nor how long the delay will be.
Given some reports on some Exynos 8890-powered models falling into an LG G4-esque bootloop and 2 reports on the device exploding while being charged, it looks like Samsung may have something on its hands. Hopefully it's not something too serious for existing users.
On the exploding Notes, though. I still recommend using the original wallwart and cable combo as those work best with the device and details are lax on whether the ones that exploded were using the original cable (though the post on the second one seems to indicate that it's probably on a third-party combo).
