The company also reported that this is a rare manufacturing error. Samsung ended up 4.23 percent at 1.527 million won Tuesday.

More broadly, though, the clamp-down on Note 7 has been swift.
A 6-year-old boy suffered burns to his hands when his Galaxy Note 7 exploded. Samsung are now offering all customers a replacement for faulty Galaxy Note 7s as they dispatch safe units, with Australia to receive its first batch of safe replacements next week. “Our number one priority is the safety of our customers”.
National Broadcast and Telecommunication Commission (NBTC) secretary-general Takorn Tantasith said Samsung had not yet imported its flagship Galaxy Note 7 model into Thailand. “We sincerely thank our customers for their understanding and patience”, Koh said. While the Note 7 was well-received and gained critical acclaim, it quickly turned into a nightmare as reports of explosions while the phone was being charged, became more common. It additionally warned travelers not to store the devices in checked luggage. That move came after Samsung’s investigation into reports of fires found that rechargeable lithium batteries manufactured by one of its suppliers were at fault. He and his co-workers have been handling complaints from Note 7 consumers. The CPSC are in process of calling a full recall of the product line in coordination with Samsung.
But the board members said in a statement “the time is now right” to nominate the junior Lee as a board member “to allow him to take a more active role in the company’s strategic decision-making”. It might be that same Samsung fans will hesitate to purchase the Galaxy Note 7 when sales will restart and actually hold off their money until Samsung announces the Galaxy S8, sometime next year. “There is no way to recover this version of the phone…”
“Having the pen available for this phone is huge for me”, he said.
The Galaxy S7 Edge is not listed in Samsung’s massive recall effort that only includes the Galaxy Note7, adding further concerns about just how many Samsung products are affected.
“Based on a thorough inspection, we are now confident that the battery issue has been completely resolved in the replacement devices that will be arriving in Europe shortly”, he said.

“So we would be looking for this story to maybe build in the next couple of days and as the headlines reach a crescendo we would look at this as an opportunity to get into a huge company that’s doing an bad lot of other things right”.
