Apparently some rare manufacturing fault that put pressure on internal poles, short-circuiting the battery: https://www.cnet.com/news/why-is-samsung-galaxy-note-7-explo...
Still unclear why some replacements (which have batteries from a different supplier) are exhibiting a similar failure mode.

They already did that with the s7 and edge. It's a bit thicker than s6 and the battery is humongous.
The s7 does not have a user-removable battery. http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/skp/faq/1102126

While the stories are all over the media, the truth is that there are less than 100 failures out of something like 3 million devices. I don't know about you guys, but if a bug only appears in my code in 0.003% of the time, I know I have a really hard time finding it.

Read the context - I was merely echoing what was written there. I wouldn't have initiated such name-calling, but I do think the OP's reaction is over the top and silly, given the context.
That doesn't excuse repeating it. You could've easily gotten the point across that you agree with their assessment without going with those words.
I guess I just bought the right yet boring phone .. the iPhone 7. The Note 7 looked crazy innovative besides full waterproofing, iris scanning..it be turned into a deadly weapon that could be used for mass destruction :-/ On a side note such a phone that floating around could be used by terrorists on planes. How will airlines handle this?
Having said that, this is a pretty small incendiary that we are talking about, and aircraft are several layers thick everywhere that a passenger can access. How would a terrorist actually use this to put a hole in a plane?

I don't like getting into word definition argument but doesn't that information about Samsung fall under the daily important news rather than the breaking news ?
Yes, it does. That's why I'd like to see a link to a free source (that doesn't require one to pull ostentibly illegal tricks to read the contents) rather than an advertisement.

I'm quite happy with my Samsung TV - picture quality is great. The remote is a terrible piece of shit, and I disabled the "Smart" TV features the moment that thing showed be a goddamn ad, but as a front end for my Apple TV/Playstation 4 it's quite good.
Holy shit, your appliance you paid for shows you ads. I thought ads on phones were bad 7 years ago. Wow.
So... Slightly OT but not 100%... For those of us wanting a phablet, what are the options right now? Pixel is, IMHO, too expensive. The Note was top-end too, but at least had Wireless charging, which I like. Now it's gone. I don't 'do' iOS. What's left? Most of the other phablets have got smaller, the Moto Z looks quite good (no QI, but otherwise great). People rave about the OnePlus 3 but the screen is low-res compa…
I'd love to see a V20 with a stylus, but I don't see that happening.

As a person that owns both a Samsung Washer & Dryer (they just did a recall on top load washers I believe), a Samsung Refrigerator, and at one point a Samsung television, I can assure you all of their products (that I have owned or currently own) are poorly designed, and more so, poorly manufactured garbage. I will never knowingly buy a Samsung product again. I replaced the TV after it came out about their efforts to…

If you don't mind me asking - how did you assert the quality of the picture? Did you use professional calibration or run some tests yourself?
