I completely understand that there is a good amount of consumers that will be hesitant about making the Note 7 as their new mobile phone purchase for the upcoming holiday season. Yes, 2.5 million units were recalled globally by Samsung because those units were manufactured between a certain time frame. Samsung took measures by flagging all of those units as being "affected." If I recall correctly, in the United States alone, there were roughly 50 reported cases of the faulty Note 7s causing property damage as well as personal injury. So let's just say that Samsung received 2,500 reported cases internationally which would be around 0.001% of the total devices. I know that there is the possibility that more Note 7s could have exploded but we're never reported, and that is why I rounded up quite generously. In my opinion, when you really think about it, that is a very small percentage. I actually had two Note 7s prior to exchanging it for the revised safe version that I have now. I would say that I'm a power user, so I'm literally on my phone ALL THE TIME. And I was never presented with over heating nor did I experience any lag or sluggishness. The media continues to relentlessly put Samsung and Note 7 in the spotlight as if the devices are exploding left and right daily. Many sources are even putting Samsung up on a cross by saying that this dilemma has and will forever tarnish the South Korean tech giants image.
Samsung Electronics produces a wide array of consumer products. I can't even begin to fathom a number of how many mobile phones they produce annually, ranging from their high end flagship Galaxy S and Note lineup to their extremely low end, non Android lineup. And now imagine adding in all of the other products they manufacture and sell globally. I will admit that I am quite bias towards Samsung products, but the situation has been completely blown out of proportion. Yes, Samsung will be haunted by this recall. And yes, Samsung has lost quite a bit of money too. But they aren't going anywhere. They will continue to move forward regardless of whatever happens to the Note 7 at this point and time. Everyone will soon forget about this when the S8, and Note 8 take the stage when 2017 rolls around. Heck, I will even go the route of saying that Samsung will definitely make everyone forget this hiccup when they release their folding display galaxy device in the near future.
End rant.
I also thought I would throw this out there as some food for thought. Does anybody remember when Toyota was under fire because of the infamous unintended acceleration recall? This affected several of their model lines that added up to around 10 million vehicles in total. Which resulted in property damage and personal injuries even including deaths. Toyota may have been scrutinized but they're still at the top of automobile manufacturers.
