IT168 News received a newsletter today. Samsung’s partners in South Korea revealed that Samsung Electronics has suspended production of the Galaxy Note7. According to the report of the foreign media The Verge, the second largest US operator (equivalent to China Unicom) has issued a statement saying that due to frequent security incidents in the near future, it has decided not to recall and sell Samsung Galaxy Note7. Purchased users can choose to refund or replace other models of mobile phones. In fact, it is "other models of mobile phones" is actually the Note7's deadly iphone 7Plus.
The Samsung Galaxy Note7 has been plagued by the "explosive door" incident, which has caused Samsung to pay a huge price for it. According to industry analyst Pan Jiutang’s estimate, Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is planning to have an estimated volume of 15 million units this year (about 5 million next year), plus the impact on the brand. It is estimated that the Note 7 event will affect at least 20-30 million of Samsung’s shipments this year. (Samsung’s annual shipment of smart phones is 300 million+, of which the flagship is about 70 million). In addition, according to incomplete statistics, Samsung’s overall loss in the global market may exceed RMB 30 billion.
This site speculated that the cause of the Samsung Galaxy Note7 explosion, in addition to the battery-related is likely to have internal design flaws. Because the United States has emerged after the user replaced the "security machine" after another explosion. Due to the cumbersome process of investigating and collecting evidence of this explosion accident, Samsung has not yet identified the accident. After the Samsung Galaxy Note7 is discontinued, it is highly probable that Samsung will introduce a new model to replace the handset, and the Samsung Galaxy S8, which will be released early next year, will also become a stand-alone for Samsung.
Have to say that if there is no explosion door incident, the Samsung Galaxy Note7 is definitely worthy of the Android king, even enough to let the iPhone7 Plus innovation is weak. However, the fact is never assumed that the Samsung Galaxy Note7 is concentrating on a variety of functions and features, while at the same time allowing the space inside the fuselage to be constantly compressed. Because of the deviation in the design of which step, in the process of using it will cause incalculable losses.
Samsung's event also sounded a warning bell for global mobile phone manufacturers. Today's smart phones are constantly moving toward lighter and thinner, but such demand orientation is contrary to long battery life and large batteries. Under the background that lithium battery technology is already in the bottleneck, manufacturers can only do their utmost to upgrade the technology, save internal design space, and insert large-capacity, high-density batteries into mobile phones. Lithium batteries with poor stability are liable to cause explosion accidents, which will cause incalculable losses to users.
Consumers need to be reminded that when charging a mobile phone, the mobile phone should be kept away from flammable materials. To avoid the convenience of the diagram, charge the phone under the pillow. In addition, when the phone is abnormally hot, remember to immediately shut down, wait for it to cool down before looking for the source of fever problems.
