The Galaxy Note 7 is dead

Samsung has announced it's ending production of the Galaxy Note 7 around the world, pulling the plug on the phone for good after a months-long controversy over its defective, dangerous batteries. "Taking our customer’s safety as our highest priority, we have decided to halt sales and production of the Galaxy Note 7," said Samsung in a statement. The announcement follows yesterday's news that the company is recalling all Note 7 devices, including the supposedly safe replacement phones.
