Samsung Electronics Co. announced Tuesday that it will completely terminate the production of its Galaxy Note 7 smartphone. The high-end Note 7 smartphone has been plagued with problems. In September, Samsung announced a worldwide recall of 2.5 million Note 7 phones after reports of battery-related fires. Although Samsung quickly advised users that the original devices were too dangerous to use, it was unable to provide replacement phones to many customers for weeks after it announced the worldwide recall. Some of the Note 7 customers who did receive replacement smartphones continued to experience the battery fire issue. South Korea's Yonhap News Agency first reported a temporary Note 7 manufacturing halt on Monday, citing an anonymous official from one of Samsung's manufacturing suppliers. On Tuesday, Yonhap reported that Samsung officially announced a full recall of all Galaxy Note 7 devices, and a permanent halt to Note 7 production. "Although the company controlled supply of the Galaxy Note 7 in an effort to strengthen quality and to further probe into the problems of the Galaxy Note 7, the company officially decided to halt the production of the model after the halt of the sales," Samsung said in an official statement reported by Yonhap. Samsung has also asked all phone carriers to stop sales and exchanges Note 7 smartphones. AT&T and T-Mobile announced that they would no longer carry the devices on Sunday evening. Sprint employees were told that the device could no longer be sold on Monday, however Note 7 display models were still present in Dallas Sprint stores throughout the day. The official U.S. Note 7 website was also still live on Tuesday morning. Samsung advises Note 7 users to immediately power down the devices and return the phones to their mobile carriers. A recent update to the Note 7 flashes a notification when the phones are plugged in that advises users that the device is too dangerous to use. "We are working with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to investigate the recently reported cases involving the Galaxy Note7," Samsung said in a statement. "We remain committed to working diligently with the CPSC, carriers and our retail partners to take all necessary steps to resolve the situation." Phone explosion reports Last Tuesday, a Kentucky man reportedly suffered smoke inhalation injuries after his Note 7 phone exploded while he slept. The man told reporters that the phone was not plugged in at the time of the incident. The following day, a Southwest Airlines plane at Louisville International Airport was evacuated due to a smoking Note 7 phone. The plane had not taken off yet and was evacuated before anyone was injured. On Friday, a Minnesota teenager reported a minor burn injury after her Note 7 phone melted in her hand. All three incidents reportedly involved replacement Galaxy Note 7 phones. The Note 7 fires are linked to malfunctioning lithium ion batteries. These batteries have caused fires in many other types of smartphones, including iPhones, although no other smartphone line has experienced fires on the scale of the Galaxy Note 7 problem.

Vodeći američki i australski mobilni operateri u ponedjeljak su prekinuli prodaju i zamjenu Galaxy Note 7 , dok su zrakoplovni prijevoznici ponovili da zabranjuju putnicima korištenje tih uređaja, nakon što je prošloga tjedna evakuiran jedan zrakoplov u SAD-u jer se u njemu jedan zamjenski model Note 7 počeo dimiti. Vodeći svjetski proizvođač pametnih telefona priopćio je u ponedjeljak kako je zatražio od svih globalnih operatera da prekinu prodaju uređaja Note 7 i zamjenu originalnih uređaja zamjenskima, dok s regulatorima ne istraži taj problem. ‘Korisnici s originalnim ili zamjenskim uređajem Galaxy Note 7 trebali bi ga isključiti i prestati koristiti’, priopćio je Samsung. Odluka tvrtke da povuče Note 7 s polica po drugi put u dva mjeseca pokazuje koliko Samsung ima poteškoća s rješavanjem problema pregrijavanja uređaja. Samsung je 2. rujna najavio globalni opoziv 2,5 milijuna Note 7 na 10 tržišta, uključujući tržište SAD-a, zbog neispravnih baterija koje uzrokuju zapaljenje telefona. Međutim, nova izvješća o zapaljenjima i na zamjenskim uređajima otvaraju pitanje, kažu analitičari, o procesu kontrole kvalitete u Samsungovoj proizvodnji. Problemi sa zamjenskim Note 7 modelima otvorili su, također, novo i potencijalno skupo poglavlje tog globalnog skandala koji je naštetio ugledu najvećeg svjetskog proizvođača pametnih telefona. Također bi mogli predstavljati nove opasnosti za potrošače. Američka komisija za sigurnost potrošačkih proizvoda (CPSC) poručila je da je Samsungova odluka o prekidu prodaje i zamjene Note 7 dobra. ‘Dok traje naša istraga o izvješćima o pregrijavanju i zapaljenjima telefona, korisnici bi trebali ugasiti uređaje i prestati ih koristiti. To je najsigurnije rješenje’, poručio je čelnik CPSC-a. Korejska agencija za tehnologiju i standarde također je poručila korisnicima da bi trebali prestati koristiti Note 7 te istaknula da će surađivati sa Samsungom u rješavanju problema. Samsung je svoj novi model Galaxy Note 7 predstavio na tržištu u kolovozu i taj je uređaj trebao biti glavni konkurent Appleovom iPhoneu u borbi za udjel na tržištu pametnih telefona. Kritike su bile povoljne, a Samsung je u početku imao problema s isporukama jer je potražnja bila velika. No, nekoliko tjedana nakon što je Note 7 lansiran na tržište, na društvenim su se mrežama pojavile fotografije pougljenjenih uređaja. Analitičari kažu da Samsungov prekid prodaje Note 7 predstavlja daljnje produbljenje krize, a u utorak ujutro cijena dionice tog tehnološkog diva potonula je 5 posto.
