Samsung scraps Galaxy Note 7. Refunds available

Samsung today  confirmed that it is permanently stopping production of the Galaxy Note 7 smartphone.

The firm said it had made the decision to stop production for the sake of consumer safety after it was involved in dozens of fires and explosions worldwide.

It said in a statement: “Putting consumer safety as the top priority, we have reached a final decision to halt production of Galaxy Note 7s.” A spokesperson confirmed that the suspension was “permanent”.

Samsung said customers will still be allowed to apply for a full refund or to swap their Note 7s for other Samsung products. It also advised all customers with an original or replacement Galaxy Note 7 to “power down and stop using the device” immediately.
