Why release this so close to S8..(assuming it will be out early next year?)
There are rumors the S8 has been delayed by the investigation into what caused the Note 7 to fail. Regulators will want answers before approving another new design.
 
Cool, that'll let the flames show up much better against a black background!

Samsung better hope that there's no such thing as bad publicity....

"Attention Passengers. The FAA has banned the Samsung Galaxy note 7 from all air travel, both in the cabin and in checked baggage."
 
One thing is for sure, they either have no sense of humour, or a pretty wicked sense of humour.

I wonder what they will actually call it? Here are some suggestions for them:

Moonless Night black
Dark River black
Moody Coal black
Refined Bitumen black
Unrestrained Capitalist black
Appleisian Greed black
Photocopy Toner black
Very, Very black
Burnt 7 black
Shiny Inky black
Sarcastic White
Troublingly Unsatured
Extremely Non-chromatic

You must be a FB user --- NOTHING but misinformation and misdirection ... Samsung is looking at a late 2017 Q1 release.

Haven't been banned on flights in Europe - only stipulation is they have to be powered off and not in checked luggage or in bags in overhead bins.
 
They are so pathetic ... it started back when they used to copy Sony they have always done this and got away with it that's why I won't buy anything Samsung .... love my sony tv's!

Too bad that Sony uses LG and Samsung panels.

But remember Samsung Mega Drive! Loved mine when I was a kid in the 90s...

In other news, Samsung has announced in a press conference that they plan on discontinuing all Samsung products to focus on those technologies in which they control the ecosystem entirely. It was stated also that this is in no way similar to the announcement made by Apple to discontinue the airport devices and move engineering into the "lockdown sector" of Apple. It was stated that in fact Apple had copied Samsung when they created a different size phone, because that is what we had done first.

Have you guys listened to yourselves?

How many black thing are sold in the world by different companies.

I can get a black car from probably every car maker.

Yes Samsung have blatantly copied Apple before. But colour, black is fair game.

Why is this news?

They're releasing a different colour. Who cares.


It sure is / was big news when Apple announced the Jet Black colour and then Apple were crucified by their fans because they only offered the JB in the higher capacity models.

When I had Apple stocks, I used to be upset about Samsung copying. Since I sold all my shares, I couldn't care less.

These days as a consumer, I think Samsung should copy as much as they want. Competition puts pressure on margins. And Apple have massive ones.

MacBook price is a joke.
 
Waiting for Apple next year to introduce the Vanta black edition. Can't get any blacker than that!
