>Tech giant Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (005930.KS) touched two-week lows on Thursday on concerns for mobile earnings after it delayed shipments of its premium Galaxy Note 7 smartphone amid reports of exploding batteries.

>The firm announced the delays for quality control testing late on Wednesday and also said Galaxy Note 7 shipments to South Korea's top three mobile carriers had been halted, rattling investor hopes for strong second-half mobile earnings.

>Quality control problems, if confirmed, could deal a major blow to the world's top smartphone maker, which was counting on the Galaxy Note 7 to defend sales momentum against new Apple Inc (AAPL.O) phones expected to be unveiled next week.

>A decline in Samsung's smartphone average selling prices and profits appeared inevitable given the current problems with the Galaxy Note 7, he added.

RIP Samshit.

Also, exploding batteries??? LMAO!

Not only is Note 7 getting demolished by a last year's iPhone, they can't even keep batteries from exploding.

Why do Samsung phones have such a low build quality and QC issues? It's not like the phones are cheap. And even cheap chinkphones don't have these issues.

It's good to see Samsung are doing something about it within days of the problems arising.

Apple would still be in denial mode.

>might have been circumvented if battery was replaceable
This is yet another reason of an infinite reasons to have removable batteries. Fucking retards.

Literally the only reason I didn't get a Note 7.

Not only this, but Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices have been reportedly bricking themselves, which is also most likely the result of bad practices i.e. the lack of documentation regarding the in-house Exynos chips, a fact that is also probably the case internally within Samsung which lead to this fiasco.

Serves the fuckers right. If the Note 8 doesn't introduce a removable battery I'm getting the next iteration of the LG G Stylo.

Samsung is currently killing their own fanbase with shittier phones each generation.

My sister has used a Samsung phone since the SIII and even she, with little to no tech ability can tell shit has gotten worse in terms of bugginess.

Samsung might just fuck themselves hard enough for users to start putting LG, HTC, Sony and the like back in the spotlight.

Here's hoping.

>>56371258
Exploding batteries can (and does) happen with all phones. Can't 100 % prevent it. Just if you use low quality batteries it happens more often.
>>
Have you guys not heard of the exploding iPhone 5C? All you need to do is shove something in the 3.5mm jack.
Saw a few videos, the explosion could potentially kill or seriously injure you.
>>
>>56366778
Never bought a Samsung phone and boy am I super glad I never did. All of my friends' and family members phones were Samsung and they all just randomly started to break and give them problems. They took care of them very well (I know because I saw how they use their phones, they even use bought a lot of protection for them), but they just inevitably break. The planned obsolescence about Samsung products is not a meme, avoid Samsung as much as you can.
>>
>>56371804
>All you need to do is shove something in the 3.5mm jack.
Yeah, or smash and bend the battery or try to open it with a knife.
And if you put in the pen the wrong way in one of the Galxay Note variants, it would get stuck and potentially destroy your phone.

How horrible.
>>
>>56371804
>shove something in the 3.5mm jack

I don't see why would anyone do this, unless you want to break your own phone.
>>
>>56371898
uhh, headphones?
>>
>>56371829
I haven't had any problems with my Samsung phones.

Mind you, I only bought two. The Note and the Note Edge.

Maybe I shouldn't say I haven't had any problems though. My Note stopped working. It doesn't charge so it won't turn on. It could be the battery, which is over four years old now, so I'm going to try a replacement. Battery life up until then was fine though so I don't know why it would suddenly die if it was just the battery. It draws about half an amp when I plug it in but it just doesn't charge the battery, or the phone doesn't see charge from the battery.
>>
>>56371330
Am Korean here, this shit is real and Samsung will announce their plans for a possible recall tomorrow.
>>
>>56371902
uhh, no. I've never heard of iphones exploding when someone uses headphones with them. I'm pretty sure that guy meant shoving a nail or something into the port which wasn't meant to go into there anyway.
>>
>>56371869
>it would get stuck and potentially destroy your phone.
That's an outright lie. It would just stop detecting when you remove/insert the S-pen, which wasn't a huge issue unless you turned on the don't lose my S-pen option that would bug you about the S-pen being missing.

It was a shitty design decision, but don't overstate the consequences.
>>
>>56371903
Yep, same exact issues. Phones got fucked so bad that the firmware somehow got corrupted and I needed to flash it with newer firmware from samsung's website when their phones broke. Among a multitude of other problems with the battery, the phones getting slow for no reason (I even formatted the entire phone and removed everything, it still ran like a slug). I never trusted Samsung and seeing this just rises my distrust in them even more.

>>56371931
that sounds like a user issue, how the fuck do you corrupt the firmware?
>>
>>56371956
Probably rooting his phone and fucking it up.

You can't corrupt it otherwise. You have no write abilities for those areas unless you use odin or root it.
>>
>>56371956
>that sounds like a user issue

I thought that too, I asked my friend and he just said "it literally just turned off by itself and gave me this screen telling me to use Odin". We went to a guy who was a specialist in this kind of shit and he said that the processor randomly stopped which I don't really understand. It literally just stopped working, according to both of these people. My friend also never tried to root or use a custom ROM on his phone.

>"it literally just turned off by itself and gave me this screen telling me to use Odin"
User error.
>>
>>56371989
lmao sure it did.
>>
>>56371997
Trust me I know this guy, he isn't exactly the kind of person to mess with his phone a lot, he just uses it to view email, answer calls and watch youtube videos.
>>
>>56371989
Samsung keeps documentation regarding their processors relatively recondite and isolated, even within Samsung. I don't doubt it's exactly because of it that the firmware is shitty and bricking devices.
>>

Alright, if you say so. I trust you.

>>56372018
Everyone lies when they fuck something up.
Official devices won't tell you to use Odin. The Odin software we use to flash devices is not official.
If the processor "randomly stopped" then it wouldn't be saying to use Odin because the processor is required to display that information.

It sounds a hell of a lot like he fucked up flashing it.
>>
>>56371898
>>56371912
Yea but still, it goes to show you how easy it is to break any battery.
>>
>implying samsung will ever kill
They are like 1/3rd of the South Korean economy.
They make phones, TV's, soap submarines, medical equipment, tea, cars, books, trains, etc. If they make a slight loss, they can easily offset it if they believe something still has long term prospects.

>geekbench updates to be more favorable towards apple devices by weighing SHA more highly and scaling based off iphone results

Geekbench is beyond a joke at this point.

>>56372081
"Official devices won't tell you to use Odin"

It literally said "access recovery mode and use Odin or Kies in order to install new firmware" when the phone broke down, that's the screen it had for the rest of the day.

Other people had similar issues too here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Th2Jy9QXhxo

I don't know if he's lying or not, but the fact that hundreds of people out there have the same issues and even the pajeet phone specialist at the mall said the same thing, makes me trust him more than a bunch of shills on /g/.
>>
>>56372115
roasted smashit shill detected
>>
>>56372118
Yeah, it literally doesn't say to use Odin because Odin is a third party tool which uses the download mode on Samsung devices (which is called Odin).
>>
SAMSHIT HOUSEFIRES
>>
>>56372256
Different guy here. Some Samsung devices will display a message telling the user they are in "Odin Mode" and to restore using a factory firmware. This is probably what he's talking about. Samsung Devices have an Odin mode. Then there is a tool called Odin which uses that mode to flash firmwares. You're both retarded.
