What are three "cool things" that you wish the 7+ had, which the Note does?
I mean, what's next? Exploding TVs?
I demand that you delete all of that evidence immediately. Anti Apple evidence is what we like here.
That's the last time I take a Samsung washing machine onto an aircraft. As hand baggage.
I've heard that it has to do with their implementation of fast wireless charging. Supposedly the original SGN7 fast charged to 80% and for the replacement all they did was change the firmware to stop fast charging at 60%.
Whatever the case, if further replacement SGN7s spontaneously combust then it's bad for the whole industry. Apple needs Samsung competition to keep the iPhone as great as it possibly can be. Or I should say, iPhone users need Samsung to keep that fire under Apple's arse burning hot.
If this is what the replacement devices do, it may be time for Samsung to just scrap the Note 7 all together.
Forever? Idk. Cars killed people and the world got over it.
Ironically, I have not seen the Note 7 commercial since the incident first debuted. Now I have seen the Edge 7 commercial being played frequently, it appears in its place. If you think about it, what other options does Samsung have at this point.
Yeah, Maybe it was powered down, maybe not. There's a strong incentive to lie in this case. However I would agree that it's a little too early to draw conclusions.

That gorgeous screen. Just that alone would have sold me in a 7 plus.
Now all a terrorist needs to do is bring a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on a plane. Thank you Samsung, you SUCK! But seriously, they need to be banned and outlawed from this country before its too late.
I hope not. I really like the note 7. Waiting on my replacement, but now thinking maybe wait longer...
Wow, maybe Samsung should stick to making washing machines
My washing machine caught fire yesterday.
It will. The fact this was supposed to be a "safe" phone as well, they're in trouble. A lot of people will never trust them again.
Tim Cook will be laughing in his office.
You sure about that? Their washing machines are exploding too! There have been reports of the Edge 7 exploding as well. I'm wondering if my Samsung curved 4kTV will explode. Half tempted to return it as a safety precaution more than anything.
"Green’s Note 7 is in the hands of the Louisville Fire Department’s arson unit for investigation. He has already replaced it with an iPhone 7."
Yeah, that doesn't sound suspicious.
Yeah, that doesn't sound suspicious.
Samsung America president and COO Tim Baxter apologized to customers in September.
Tim??
Very Samsung way to run the business.

Wow, an actual voice of reason and logic on MacRumors, I'm impressed!
Well a couple of names here that would eventually claim this as a "modern feature" come very easily to mindImagine what would happen if a new iPhone had this problem.
