a Few days ago a manager from the Samsung said that the Galaxy Note 7 will be back in european stores at the end of November. Instead, users will not have to wait so long. The Korean manufacturer has officially announced that the phablet can be purchased from October 28. From China comes, in the meantime, another report in relation to the explosion of a phablet, but this time it’s a Galaxy Note 7 replaced.
The new smartphone from Samsung has received great reviews, due to the quality of the components used, in particular, the display Super AMOLED 5.7-inch screen with a resolution Quad HD (2560×1440 pixels), and is considered by DisplayMate as the best ever. Unfortunately, the batteries made by Samsung SDI, and built into some units have the tendency to overheat and explode while charging. The manufacturer has started a recall campaign in the 10 states where the sale had already begun.
Samsung has revealed that in Europe, the 57% of the Galaxy Note 7 faulty it was replaced within a week from the start of the recall campaign. The 90% of the users has asked for another Galaxy Note 7, 3% chose another Samsung smartphone, while the remaining 7% claimed the refund of the money. The manufacturer provides that all the old Galaxy Note 7 will be returned to the beginning of October, for which the sale will resume regularly on the 28th of October.
All the new models include a battery manufactured by Amperex Technology Limited, and, therefore, should be exempt from the problem. Some users koreans, however, have reported that the temperature increases excessively during the charging and the charge level is not maintained. A chinese user has been more unfortunate, as the Galaxy Note 7 "the safe" is exploded, causing burns to the hand and damage to his MacBook.
Samsung has contacted the customer to ask for the return of the phablet, in order to examine and determine the cause of the explosion. Two other accidents had happened in China in the past few days, but in both cases, the explosion was caused by an external heat source.
