The Galaxy Note 7 Smartphone Dies Early Due to Many of Them Going on Fire Randomly

On August 19, 2016, Samsung released its newest smartphone, the Galaxy Note 7. Unfortunately, there was one major problem with the phones. They kept overheating and going on fire. If the owner was even more unlucky, the phone would explode and they might even get seriously hurt. As a result, Samsung urged their customers to return the phone and get either another phone of theirs or a refund. They were even banned from going onto airplanes! Evenetually Samsung sent out the Galaxy Note 7 phones again, only this time they were supposed to be fixed and replace the ones that were defective. Unfortunately, they suffered the same fate as the previous versions. When Samsung couldn't figure out why they were going on fire, especially when they were testing out the phones and none of the Galaxy Note 7 smartphones that were used in the test went on fire, Samsung made the ultimate decision to completely stop producing anymore Galaxy Note 7 phones for good. Customers who still had them even got fireproof boxes to put the smartphones in when they returned them just in case they did catch on fire in them.
