Market driven demands-the cause of the recall

[Cary Quinn]

The error also should have been caught during each production batch run within a few hundred cells. Still, why Samsung does not have a scanning process to link each cell to a specific battery during final production seems crazy. Beyond hundreds is nuts, yet alone hundreds of thousands or more.

The article seems off target. The design/size is not the problem, but the QC process (or lack of) most certainly is.

Actually I would think they do have such a scanning process, because this issue has not come up with the S7 or Note 5 before.

So, it would appear something in the QC process missed a new type of defect, or something in later assembly caused a problem that was not covered in the previous test phases.

The Note 7 will be a boon for us Samsung users in the future

Much good will come out of this Note 7 fiasco. In fact, I look forward to future Samsung flagships based upon observations in the past.

From the original Galaxy to S4, Samsung reigned supreme, keeping the same overall look and plastic body (which I still prefer, but that is a discussion for another thread). Then came the S5 and profits declined for the first time with criticisms of cheap plastic and little design change.

Samsung listened. The S6 came out with a gorgeous premium body but there were new criticisms, ( no SD slot etc ).

Samsung listened. The S7 came out and addressed all issues except the removable battery, but that had settled down to general acceptance.

The Note 7 came out and Samsung fumbled with quality control. I guarantee, Samsung will do as they have done in the past and they will learn and listen. They will do more quality checks for not only the battery obviously, but other issues like lag, signal reception etc.

We will all benefit greatly later on. Future Samsung phones will have a lot more testing and quality control. No more rushing into production, no more putting futuristic features like an iris scanner whilst suffering the basics such as lesser signal reception and sporadic performance.

I for one look forward to upgrading to a future Samsung phone to reap the lessons of the Note 7.

This was a lesson not only for Samsung (thank God for their deep pockets) but for all companies. I can't wait what Samsung has in stored for us.

Samsung listens........a lesson Apple could learn. I'm switching and won't return to Apple until they decide to add some creativity to their phones.

Me too. I will be excited to see if Samsung really up their game on the S8 and Note 8 and give the public (besides the great displays and features) vastly improved quality control and consistent high standards of basics such as software performance, signal strength, battery life etc.

Sure, some people have good units, but it seems to be a hit or miss affair with the Note 7. IPhones tend to have a reputation of consistent good performance and I can see Samsung aiming for this too in future products.

Samsung already have a reputation for innovation, technology, best in class displays, top of the pile cameras etc. If Samsung can also up their game on quality control and consistent high performance in the basics of smartphones, they will be the number 1 phone maker again.

I thought I was the only one!!!

And the rest of your post is on point as well...i.e. I concur.

Re: The Note 7 will be a boon for us Samsung users in the future

I would appreciate if Samsung would use this as a paradigm in regards to sealed batteries. Sure, sealed batteries force most consumers off a device after two years to buy another, but perhaps Samsung will "reconsider" and go to a removable battery once again. They can still get water resistance and slender builds.

Oh, Bigfoot is for reals, people!

Re: The Note 7 will be a boon for us Samsung users in the future

The big take-away for Samsung should be "bring back removable batteries!"

I don't care if my phone is 1mm thicker, just give me a phone with a battery that I can replace myself. It's gettin' to be re-goddamn-diculous!! My Note 3 has a removable battery, and yet it isn't noticeably thicker than my Note 7. I can only tell when I lay them side-by-side.

Samsung is my driver. Only use their phone and tablet. HP laptop.
Unfortunately I have to use iPad at work. Hate it

I think Samsung has handled this well and there will be lessons learned that will make future Galaxies even better.

Thanks to me, everyone is posting pics of cats. The LG V20 manages to have a removable metal back. All you have to do is put a rubber gasket around the rim like the S5 and there is your waterproofing.

That could work, but some reviews and previews showed potential seem openings besides the cover.

No problem making a device with removable cover water resistant , so not getting the lack of it. Especially if premium priced.

Re: The Note 7 will be a boon for us Samsung users in the future

I think the new Samsung phones look awesome but the outside glass body is not practical IMO...it forces you to slap a case on it. this is why I like the note 4, the back was removable and textured so not completely slippery. I hate cases, I think they destroy the character of the phone therefore my note ran naked for 2 yrs..why make a beautiful phone only to slap an ugly case on it? I held an s7 to test the camera and this thing is like holding a wet bar of soap with no case on it plus finger prints destroy the looks of it.
