Also this is what you posted earlier "I'll have a short memory about it because one of their phones never blew up on me". So you don't own a Samsung or you do?  |
I had an S4 a few years ago, but even if I had never owned a Samsung phone before that doesn't change the fact that one never blew up on me. We'll see how this goes, but I'll be surprised if it's because they fucked up again and have to recall every replacement unit as well.

Corporations love people like you.

If one of their products brought down a plane and killed everyone on board that would be different.

Sure and they'll lose some business from that but it's not going to spell the end for one of the best selling phone companies in the world. If anything they'll rebrand the Note line and most people will forget about it. If this happened to Apple how many fanboys would actually swear off using their products? Not fucking many.

This did not happen to Apple, this happened to a company with a history of bad quality control.

They lost their spot as top dog because they didn't get with the times, and Apple and Android took it from them. They didn't have some big PR blunder and never recover. Horrible example.

Samsung has been #2 to Apple for a while now but that's going to change pretty fast.

Unless the Pixel phone takes off not much will change. Apple might steal some customers away.

This whole fiasco is definitely going to affect Samsung, but only in the short term.
Samsung is the number one smartphone manufacturer in the world at 22.8% market share. The next one is Apple at 11.7%.
Samsung also has so many divisions (beyond smartphones and televisions) that even if it's mobile division were to take a hit, it wouldn't matter much overall.

Who knows though, there's just too many different Androids out there to choose from -- it could just be all of the other Android makers sharing the pie of ex-Samsung users equally. Quote:

Correct me if I'm wrong but mobile is their biggest division, which is what we're talking about here not the overall conglomerate.

I threw in that division comment because a lot of people are thinking that the Note 7 is going to ruin Samsung.. lmfao
Samsung makes a lot of money off their lower and mid-range phones. While most people here in Canada might have Galaxy S phones, but for the rest of the world, the A and J series are extremely popular.
If I were to bet, I'd say most people switching away from the Note 7 will just either end up settling for the S7/S7E (brand loyalty) or an iPhone (money).
No one is going to be getting the Pixel other than Nexus users that don't already have a 6P. It's been the same in previous years and it will be the same again this year, except this year, the pricepoint of the phone is in the Note 7 and iPhone territory.

My replacement Note 7 working perfectly fine. No overheating issues or anything. I was going to order the Pixel but after seeing the specs and price will not be. Too bad. I've owned every nexus phone since the Galaxy Nexus. Too bad since I sold my 6P already.

After seeing all the issues, just bought the s7 edge when it was on sale at the Samsung store at metrotown. Trade in your old device (broken flip phone from the early 2000s for me) and got $200 off. Final price out the door for a s7e was $756 taxes in. Not bad considering a note 7 would have cost a few hundred more. The battery life on the edge is overpowering.

| A fourth replacement Galaxy Note 7 caught fire in Virginia this morning
Don't know if this is true or not since The Verge is the only news outlet reporting four replacements burning up, but if it is true then the issue is becoming serious.

| Samsung says it's 'working diligently' as fifth replacement Note 7 burns - The Verge
5th replacement note 7 caught fire today. Samsung says they're 'working hard on it' LOL. Quote:
Another replacement Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has caught fire, this one in Houston, Texas. Daniel Franks was at lunch with his daughter and wife when their replacement caught fire while sitting on the table, he told The Verge in an interview. It had been replaced at a Best Buy store in late September.
Franks said that his eight-year old daughter regularly plays Minecraft on the phone and wondered what could have happened if she was holding it or it was in his pocket or sitting on a nightstand.

The only Note 7 fires covered by multiple news outlets were the first two that The Verge reported. The latter three are only reported by The Verge. Makes me wonder if they have some sort of biased interest in all this.
