Even though Samshit deserves this. At least they have the decency to make these steps. Unlike Applel where my touch disease issue has been completely ignored by customer service. Ill prolly just get a oneplus or some shit

I like Mandelbrot wallpapers.

Didn't USB type-C have problems relating to this?

Bet my friend who proclaims doom for Apple every time there's some kind of bad press won't be sharing this bit of news to his Facebook timeline. Especially after fawning over the Note the other day.

Right, Steve?

>>56387513
They could say that only a few have had the issue, and the company doing recalls for customers is a good thing.
Still curious what the cause is.

>>56387531
If it was only a few, isolated incidents, they wouldn't be doing a world wide recall. They must've run the numbers, checked the part supplies, and determined a fuckton of these will be exploding sooner or later.

>>56387604
This. So how do we actually go about getting the phones replaced? Taking it back to the store where it was purchased?

Yes, the same company that funds the entire South Korea is bankrupt.

Yes.

>>56387710
It will either be that or through the Samsung representative in your country.
Stay tuned for updates on your region's site.

Samsung is literally one of the biggest conglomerates in the world. They don't just make phones. Even if they did, this isn't the only phone that they make. They're the largest phone manufacturer in the world. A recall of a few thousand phones won't affect them hugely. They do so much other stuff. For example, they're the largest insurance provider in Korea.

Try 2.5 million.

Fuck them. My S5 isn't getting Nougat and isn't supported by the new gear VR even though I bought it less than 2 year ago. Some flagship.

>>56388220
Meanwhile Xiaomi stills updates the Mi2 after 4 years of being released.

>>56388171
i doubt they've made 2.5 million of them. even so, they're such a huge company that it won't affect them. changing the battery in a phone isn't even that difficult

>In the coming weeks it will offer customers a new product for free to replace all 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7s that have been sold.

>>56388414
well thats fair enough, anon. however, they can refurbish the phones with new batteries and resell so they don't lose so much money. it's a minor setback financially to them, but not much more than that.

Theyre recalling ALL phones?! Shieeet

Samsplosion!

These people got Samsploded.

>"There was a tiny problem in the manufacturing process, so it was very difficult to figure out,'' the president of Samsung's mobile business Koh Dong-jin told reporters.

>"It will cost us so much it makes my heart ache. Nevertheless, the reason we made this decision is because what is most important is customer safety," he said.

>"It will cost us so much it makes my heart ache"

An almost literal 'oy vey'. You shouldn't say shit like this to the press, people's phones are becoming explosives in their own homes and you're whining about corporate profits. That's a terrible image. Are the Asians that autistic?

You're the autistic one here buddy, he obviously meant it as "we know this is going to cost a shitload of money, but we're going to do it anyways because We Care About Our Customers™"

>>56387604
Not necessarily. It's also possible they recalled them all because there's a "chance" more could this. I'm not defending Samsung this is extremely serious. It would be a little different if the battery just dies abruptly. This can cause physical harm or perhaps death. This is something you want to be 100% sure about.

>phones blow up because of bullshit from samsung so manufacturer replaces it
>somehow this makes them good guys

apple hater kiddies are dumb as hell

As an iFag, I don't see why people actually think this is the end of Samsung. You must be really dumb to think that.

The Note 7 is a nice phone, the software being a glaring exception. Once this gets worked out, it'll go on to sell like hotcakes, just like the iPhone does every year.

You guys get way too into your feelings over products.

So 35 phones have had this issue out of fucking millions and they're finished?
How hard are you sucking on Apples cock OP?

>>56391086
If you think this incident won't drastically impact their flag ship sales, you're sadly mistaken. Nobody genuinely believes Samsung is finished, but this definitely hurts them.

>>56391127

Where can I find the global recall information for iPhone 6 touch disease?

>>56387034
They sold more than 2 million Note 7 phones. But only part of them have that type of battery that fries the phone.

Objectively 800$ for a bomb with a curved screen is a good deal.

-Department of Pyrotechnics

>>56387034

The biggest problem is that this isn't an issue on every battery, Samsung has several battery manufacturers and it seems some of them have this issue.

But they can't just replace the phones with those batteries and hope that the issue doesn't crop up later in other ones, so they need to replace all 2.5 million they sold.

>>56391363
It's a recall on that number. The number of phones that have had this happen is 35. Samsung is being (financially) responsible because the lawsuits of any further issues would push their shit in. You're the one who's a fucking retard here friend. Learn to fucking read

>recall millions of phones

didn't applel have to do this with the iphone 5

Reminder that if Samsung would have used removable batteries they would only have to replace those, not the whole fucking phone

>>56391780
Yeah, but not because the phones were literally going to kill you.

>>56387017

How bad is this for Samsung? Having to recall all your flagship phones because they're fucking exploding seems like an absolute disaster

Sometimes I'm wondering if some corporations have agents who work for them and go to other manufacturers and manipulate the products. I mean, Samsung and Apple are wealthier and more powerful than many countries in the world and every fucking country has intelligence agents.

What does /g/ think? Are cases of such things known?

they say buy a new one or trade it in since it is a old manufacture bug that happens over time.

I use a galaxy s6 should I be worried?

So when are the memes about Samsung actually causing house fires going to start

>>56387097
Apple ignores all their hardware issues until most machines have been thrown out by their owners.

>>56387017
Samsung contracted with several battery manufacturers.

Some of those battery manufacturer's batteries caused these problems not all of them but Samsung decided to just recall everything just to be on the safe side.

>>56391086
Most iSheep think Samsung only makes phones but unlike Apple, Samsung doesn't put all its eggs in one basket.

Samsung has so many different kinds of businesses like hotels, insurance, construction, chips, SSDs, etc that Apple can't even compete.
