Samsung is really fighting their smart-phones batteries it seems. When we see other reports by next year, let’s see if the Galaxy Note 7 will still figure prominently, meaning people still refuse to return it.

Industry sources say that the premium smartphone market, which was depressed this year with some variables, such as high sales of low and middle priced smartphones and discontinuance of the Galaxy Note 7, will rebound next year. The LG V20s is actually sold in more countries worldwide than the Note 7 ever was. Samsung has faced a tough new market after its shutdown and recall of the Galaxy Note 7 line. The company previously indicated that it would release its findings to the public before the end of 2016.
Samsung has reportedly delayed the launch of the Galaxy S8 and made a decision to not rush out the product.
Samsung received 92 reports of batteries overheating in the United States, including 26 reports of burns and 55 cases of property damage.
Samsung is forging ahead with plans for its next Galaxy Note smartphone.
The Galaxy S8 is said to come with a dual lens camera, improved display and Samsung’s first ever virtual assistant tool. But Samsung’s own latest statement said that so far 90 per cent of Note 7 smartphones have been returned to the company, which means that some users are still holding onto these phones.
Although the Note 7 accounted for under 0.05% of new flagships, the Google Pixel and Pixel XL are both only just above that mark, according to the published data.

Research firm Apteligent has claimed that the number of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices now in use far exceed smartphones LG V20 and OnePlus 3T, and are only marginally less than the Moto Z smartphone, 9to5Mac reports. It’s worth mentioning that this deal will reportedly go in effect by the time Q3 of 2017 rolls around, so it doesn’t look like the Galaxy S8 will get the new batteries.
