Some of the units of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 are exploding and crashing down. It has been a tragedy to Samsung and this time there is another issue on Samsung Galaxy S8, S8 plus and Galaxy Note.
The company was forced to check the units of Galaxy Note 7 due to the incident. However, despite this failure and issues, Samsung is still leading in the global smartphone market. It is still close to Apple as its top contender. Samsung has a 20% market share according to Inquistr.
There must be a huge development on the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8, S8 Plus and Galaxy Note 8. Samsung is now leading the race as the newly released iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus was not so popular. There is a heavy competition of these two smartphone giants.
On the official twitter account of Scott Budman, he sincerely apologized about the battery explosion of Galaxy S7. Before the month of October ended, the representative of Samsung spoke with CIO. He discussed that they did not announce any information about a new note line up. All the rumors that refer to a new note device were not true.
Loyal purchasers of Samsung are still convinced that Samsung is not ready to give up its Note line. However, Samsung announced that owners of Galaxy Note 7 in South Korea will have a chance to upgrade on Samsung Galaxy S8 or Note 8. The cost of this upgrade will be half of its original price. It is expected to launch next year.
Affected customers in South Korea are offered a 100,000 won or $88.39. They have to choose whether they want a refund or they just have to exchange for Galaxy S7. This is only exclusive to South Korea consumers.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is set to launch on the second quarter next year according to Vine. It will be the successor of Note 7. Samsung are doing their best to cover up the issues on Note 7.
