A second Galaxy Note 7 recall might not be the only headache Samsung could possibly have to deal with. Citing a person familiar with the matter, Bloomberg reports that U.S. carrier AT&T considers ultimately cancelling sales of the defective phablet. The final decision is said to be revealed soon.

Currently, all four national carriers offer alternative smartphones to customers who want to return their Note 7 handsets. After the recall, sales of supposedly safe units resumed around the 25th of September. Alas, an incident in which a replacement Galaxy Note 7 ignited upon boarding a Southwest Airlines Co. airplane, along with other reports of replacement units catching fire, has sparked another controversy.


Samsung has already lost billions of dollars with its Note 7 recall and is now facing a second one, or stopping Note 7 sales altogether. Both scenarios will tarnish the brand and impose signifucant financial tolls. Samsung's major mobile product for the second half of 2016 is unable to compete effectively against the Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, and Google is embarking on a high-profile marketing campaign for its new Pixel handsets. Samsung could very well pay its respects to the Note 7 and move on to its next flagship smartphone, announcing it earlier than expected in order to sustain the brand and make up for the financial losses caused by the defective phablet.

there was a thread like a week ago where a replacement note 7 caught fire as a flight was getting boarded

He knows that. That why he asked what other replacements have been involved in battery explosions. Article is a reach until there is proof the phone is bad.

Doesn't matter how many
All it takes is at least 1 replacement device to show the same signs that triggered the recall and its a wrap. These days its all about liability and the fact that this happened on a commercial airplane is the worst situation that can happen for Samsung.

If HTC had a brain they would step their game up not now but Right Now

It's like 4 or 5 incidents since the last week. A guys caught fire why he was sleep, a chick phone started burning in her pocket, etc. as a T-Mobile employee this has been a headache

Went and got my replacement S7 Edge from ATT today, not even waiting for the recall

Damn. Samsung can't get right
