But it seems this incredible smartphone from Samsung may have some issues. We will come up with a fix as soon as the investigation is finished.
Exploding batteries isn’t something Samsung counted on with the release of its new product.
Samsung has delayed some Galaxy Note 7 shipments in South Korea for testing after reports that batteries in some of new smartphones exploded during charging.
The Galaxy Note 7 is the latest version in a series that features a giant screen and a stylus.
Samsung Electronics shares took a hit after it admitted delaying shipments of its new Galaxy smartphone due to some consumer reports of handsets catching fire due to exploding batteries. The stock closed 2 percent lower in the previous session. Meanwhile, most phones sold in China are going to have battery packs from Chinese company Amperex Technology. Now Samsung’s plans for the super-premium smartphone are being delayed after several reports from customers that the device “exploded” while charging. The problem batteries have been supplied by Samsung SDI Co., a battery making unit of Samsung Group.
The phone, which launched in South Korea and other markets on August 19, retails at 988,900 won ($887.23) in South Korea.
With Apple all set to unveil the iPhone 7 on 7 September, Samsung will be hurting badly over the inevitable loss of sales with Note 7 following the shipment delays in the current scenario. Even though the company has not yet made an official statement, industry watchers say some defective batteries may have caused the explosions.

Be Civil – It’s OK to have a difference in opinion but there’s no need to be a jerk. These incidents both have one thing in common, both users were apparently using a microUSB to USB C converter while charging, however, we don’t know if it was Samsung’s official adapter included in the box, or a 3rd-party adapter.
