>Russian site Hi Tech Mail.ru reports about a source which claims that the South Korean manufacturing giant is considering the abolishment of the “Note” brand, due to the most recent events of the Galaxy Note7 being recalled due to battery explosions, twice.
>We have to face it, the reputation of the Note brand has been destroyed, not to mention all the negative attention Samsung has been receiving because of the faulty smartphones. The Note brand will never be looked at the same way as it used to. One of the industry’s best-selling phone lineup has been laid to rest for good and Samsung has to keep looking forward.
RIP Galaxy Note. Press F to pay respects.

SAMSHIT IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT
they'll just replacement with a phablet with a different name
Scrote maybe
>Literally fucking up so bad you have to kill off an entire brand
Impressive.
Though let's be real here with how fucking phablet-sized their Galaxy phones are anyway the difference is basically just the stylus. The Note brand was doomed the minute "muh screen size" became the main selling point of flagship phones.

Interestingly, the S7 Edge is larger than the Note 1 and the same size as the Note 2. The Note 7 is literally only a mere .2 inches larger than the S7 Edge.
They could just merge the Note into the mainline and put a stylus into new mainline phones, and it would probably be seen as a benefit.
Who cares? They'll just make the edge the new note. They'll continue making phablets because there is a strong market for them.
Serves them right for not testing their batteries.
“The problem seems to be far more complex,” Mr. Park said in a phone interview. “The Note 7 had more features and was more complex than any other phone manufactured. In a race to surpass iPhone, Samsung seems to have packed it with so much innovation it became uncontrollable.”
>try to innovate like Apple
>builds an uncontrollable bomb
Article seems a bit melodramatic. I like the Note phones enough that I'd pass on this one in faith that they learned from their mistake for the next try.
It was pointless anyway, the S7 Edge has almost the same size.
But if they're going to make a new line of 5.7 inch phones, I vote they call it the Bloat.
great opportunity for Samsung to launch Milky Way, Andromeda, and Magellan brands

Good. Why don't they abandon the Galaxy brand too while they're at it?

>russian site reports about a source which claims
Good, so nothing to back it up.
Time to start a social media hashtag movement to save the Note brand.
#NoteLivesMatter
#NoteDidNothingWrong
Maybe instead of a stylus the next one will come with a little fire extinguisher?
>>57062589
I'd rather it have a safety pin and a lever

They're Samsungs. They could do anything they wanted save for blowing up. Most Samsung owners don't know or give a shit about what's in their device
