SAMSUNG TAIWAN ANNOUNCES REPLACEMENT OF GALAXY NOTE 7|Note7電池爆炸.著火頻傳 台灣三星:無條件換新機

Samsung's latest smart phone Galaxy Note 7 rolled out in mid-August, and 40,000 phones have been sold in Taiwan. However, Samsung has confirmed that globally there have been 35 incidents of fire or explosion due to faulty battery. Samsung Taiwan has suspended sales. People who have purchased Galaxy Note 7 can receive a replacement before the end of this year, starting mid-September. In a YouTube video, a user said that the new Samsung Galaxy Note 7, which was just released in mid-August, caught fire and became charred only two weeks after purchase. Galaxy Note 7 is Samsung's latest flagship mobile phone. However, there have been 35 worldwide cases of fire or explosion caused by the phone since its launch. Samsung Taiwan admitted that a similar incident also happened in Taiwan and has confirmed that it was a battery problem. ==LIAO A-HUI, Tech Expert== My guess is that certain batches or brands of battery have problems. That's why they are recalling the phones. According to tech experts, there are usually several suppliers for smart phone batteries. Similar incidents also occurred in the past for other mobile phone brands, but Samsung has taken an unprecedented step to suspend sales in an attempt to save its reputation. Market analysts believe that even though Samsung has dealt with the problem in a timely manner, the news is still a great blow to the brand. ==LIN HUNG-WEN, Market Analyst== iPhone 7 is about to be launched, so this is certainly good news for Apple. Analysts also think that the landscape of top-selling flagship smart phones may look very different in the second half of this year. Samsung Taiwan has issued a formal announcement on its official website saying that its customers can get a replacement for their Galaxy Note 7 between mid-September until the end of this year.
