Damn that sucks because they've been having such a successful run and while they may not be my favorite competitor, they certainly raise the bar for Apple.
Also hoping this isn't traced back to a supply chain issue that interweaves the iPhone component line.

If you record vertical videos you deserve your phone exploding.

I switched to the Note 7 and have had it since launch day, my first Android Phone in years and I love the phone, I have had no issues with the battery, but I use the wireless charger and it seems that may help.

Well, at least they're trying to address it in a timely matter, although it's not like they have much of a choice. As others have noted, hopefully none of those batteries end up in the new iPhone 7's.

well of course you had no issue with the battery, the time you have it will also be the last time you use it.
Defaut phone they will be using when they redo the TV series Burn Notice

Edit: Wow. Just watched that vid. Vicious.

I don't why but in general most Samsung smartphones batteries suck. My boss has the Note 5 and he had to get the battery replace after 1 year of use. My friend's Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge battery life was TERRIBLE! By mid afternoon his phone would already be at 5% already.

Also, maybe they could market it as a feature! "In the most dire of situations, the Note 7 can even function as an emergency fire starter. Goodbye magnesium shavings, hello lithium battery."

When customers gave feedback and said they wanted a hot phone, Samsung took it literally.

Last year it was the S-Pen getting stuck, this year it's exploding batteries...
Not always the best to rush things to market is it Samsung?

10 bucks says Tim makes a quip about this next week "... 10% longer battery life than the 6S, which already lasts longer than the competitions!"
You must not visit Macrumors often. This site gets as many Samsung apologists like yourself as they get Apple supporters.

Why do people fanboy? Is it just self reassurance for the product that we spent several hundred dollars on? Can't we just have a product that we like and have high expectations of any company that we give $600+ to? Why do we have to bash other consumers?
