I wish everyone would stop saying it has a head phone jack.
As numerous others have already pointed out, its an exhaust port.
Got a tip for us?

the day of recklessly throwing a bunch of new features and see what stick for "spec war" is over for Samsung.

Can you post a link to the internal docs that said Samsung specifically ignored safety concerns in their rush to bring the phone to market?
Does anybody know ( for sure ) if this battery is from the same manufacturer of the batteries in the iPhone ?
It can multitask by catching fire and ruining Samsung's reputation simultaneously.
A lot of good that does.
t's no longer on the market, in the market or near the market.
It got one of these:
Samsung today announced that it is officially asking its global partners to cease all sales and exchanges of the Galaxy Note 7 while it further investigates claims of ongoing safety issues with replacement devices.
As of last week, there have been several reports from customers who had their replacement Galaxy Note 7 smartphones, which were deemed safe by Samsung, catch on fire. The devices were supposedly using batteries Samsung said were "not vulnerable to overheating and catching fire."
On Wednesday, a flight from Louisville to Baltimore was evacuated when a Note 7 began smoking, and on Saturday, a 13-year-old girl in Minnesota received burns from a defective device while a man in Kentucky suffered from smoke inhalation after his Note 7 caught fire while he was asleep.

Two additional reports of replacement Note 7 fires rolled in on Sunday from Virginia and Texas, plus there were reports of fires from Taiwan and South Korea.
By Monday morning, all major carriers in the United States had already announced plans to stop sales and "safe" replacements of the Galaxy Note 7, and now sales will temporarily end worldwide.
According to Samsung, customers with an original Galaxy Note 7 or a replacement Galaxy Note 7 should shut down their devices and stop using them right away.Earlier today, reports suggested that Samsung has stopped production on the Galaxy Note 7. Samsung said that it is "temporarily adjusting the Galaxy Note 7 production schedule in order to take further steps to ensure quality and safety matters," with more information to be available in a month.
For customers in the United States who still have a Galaxy Note 7, all of the major carriers are now offering to replace the defective devices with another smartphone, such as an iPhone 7.

Karma is a b%^*@
Note 7 can light your grill, so what ? How many more useless features do we need ?
It could be his Note 2 that's smoking, since there have been reports of those catching fire as well.
The kool aid is strong with this one...
That's true but that's an unfair comparison. iPhone is a device for media consumption and socialization. The Note 7 is an innovative C4 substitute. Two different markets, really.
It's the same manufacturer Amperex Technology Limited that's also exploding iPhones.

I don't know why I am so happy about hearing this. I guess I am a really bad person.
The very last sentence in that article makes any fan of Samsung want to vomit. "Replace the phone with another smartphone, such as as the iPhone 7"
Better vomit than a flaming fireball.The very last sentence in that article makes any fan of Samsung want to vomit. "Replace the phone with another smartphone, such as as the iPhone 7"
YMMV
This would probably be a good idea. GM canned the Corvair, Ford the Pinto. IMO, the Note name is done. It's going to be a huge task to get customers to return.
Can you imagine Ford releasing the Pinto 2 the following year? "Don't worry! We totally fixed it"
