As most of you know, Samsung had to discontinue the product because an unusually high number of units overheated or flamed out due to defective battery designs.<\/p>\n<p>While Samsung apologized for this tragic misstep, it took a clumsy route to that destination. The product had to be recalled twice, the second time because a promised fix failed to actually eliminate the problem. Only after a second round of failures did Samsung throw in the towel.<\/p>\n<p>It may be that the Galaxy Note 7 was rushed to market to beat the iPhone 7. It appears the manufacturer didn\u2019t take enough care in designing and testing the batteries, thus resulting in those frequent failures.
