A Samsung through a supplier linked to the company, he says that South Korea has suspended smartphone production Galaxy Note 7, after reports of explosions in some devices, which clearly caused a discomfort in the brand.
Yonhap a Samsung supplier said the temporary halt to phablet manufacturing was decided in cooperation with regulatory bodies in South Korea, the United States and China. The measure was taken after eight cases of fire in devices that were delivered to consumers in South Korea, the United States and Taiwan, to replace models that had already presented the problem.
According to the measured information, it also includes a Samsung factory in Vietnam that is responsible for global shipments of the Galaxy Note 7. Samsung started selling this smartphone on August 19, but shortly afterwards announced the withdrawal after reports of fire cases in several countries. .
The company has yet to comment on this news, but it is taken for granted that this decision will affect sales of the new Galaxy Note 7 models in India and Europe that would resume on the 28th. Some analysts' estimates have calculated the cost of the withdrawal en masse of the Galaxy Note 7 from stores around 898 million U.S. $.
