Samsung Note 7 Explosion, Sales Terminated
Who even hates a device so wonderfully toasted?

Samsung has finally decided to let go of Note 7 

Now it's official, Samsung has officially decided to terminate Note 7's production and has again recalled every Note 7 device on earth citing, the same reasons that have damaged Samsung's reputation a bit too much. Also to mention that replacement devices to Samsung Galaxy Note 7 have also exploded due to the battery fault (or whatsoever it is).
 

Exploding Note 7 - But Why?

We are being a little too punny here, which is unneeded, and for that we apologize (we're not Apple fans). Why did the batteries explode? We are no battery experts, but as far as we know that there are two types of ions in every battery, cathodes (positive, optimistic ions), and anodes (negative pessimist guys in the corner). These ions, depending upon the battery status that can be charging or discharging, move or move back and are separated by some material stuff so they dont touch one another (just as we do with power cables). But in the case of Samsung, they did, and the rest is the end result. Though Samsung calls is a rare manufacturing error, but you never know what it actually is (psst, bad designing?)

Where Has Samsung Note 7 Exploded Yet?

The question would have been easier for us had we were asked if at what place it didnt explode. Samsung Note 7 has exploded in commercial aircrafts, that led to airlines banning the device from entering the aircraft. It has exploded in homes, hotel rooms, cars, in the pockets of people, and numerous places to talk about (and not to talk about too). It didnt become a meme for no reason, after all. 

Conclusion and Aftermath

Samsung Note 7 is, in all manners, a nightmare for Samsung. Though Note 7 was said to be a high performance, legitimate competitor to any flagship device and was hailed as one of the best devices by many critics, but things took a turn for Samsung whose phablet share for the year will now be stolen by the iPhone 7 (another device that is said to be exploding). It's just not about the market share, it is also about the damage to goodwill as it will actually be haunting Samsung for at least a couple of years. The estimated damages caused by the Note 7 mount over 17 billion US Dollars. And not only that,  Samsung's shares also fell 8% today, making it the biggest damage to their stock prices in 8 years. And now to wash the stains the exploding Note 7 has left, Samsung will have to work REALLY hard to rebuild its brand image.
