Samsung has already stopped the Galaxy Note 7 production; they are offering full refund to customers who bought the Note 7. The company has asked Note 7 users to stop using the device and return it back.

For Note 7 customers residing in the US, they need to pack their handset in a special fireproof box as a precautionary measure. Since federal regularities prohibit using Air Shipments for recalled devices, the devices (Note 7) will be shipped via other means.

Note 7 customers can either get a full refund or buy any other galaxy devices, like the Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge. Samsung is also offering $100 credit if customer exchanges the Note 7 with any Galaxy device. This is the end of Note 7 and probably the end of Samsung Galaxy Note series.

The Galaxy Note 7 listing has now been removed from the Samsung India website and the store.

Cause of fire / explosion on Samsung Galaxy Note 7

Samsung engineers are still trying to figure out the real cause of explosion / fire on the Note 7. They tried all possible situations in their lab but were not able to replicate the fire / explosion. The replacement units were actually using batteries made by third party vendors, but that also did not help.
