Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (previously Note 6)

Had a call from Vodacom regarding my e-mail. They confirm that all stock has been returned to Samsung, They expect to fill the pre-orders by end September 2016.
 
I've been contacted by Samsung South Africa to get all my details and the phones details. They said they would let me know during the course of the week what will be happening but I will definitely be getting a replacement.

I wonder if this whole recall is going to push the price of the devices up... So they can recoup all the billions lost now

Samsung will probably be sending a very large invoice to the battery supplier to cover those losses.

It is their batteries that at fault, not the Chinese manufactured ones

"SEOUL— Samsung Electronics Co. ’s global recall of its newest smartphone after some of the devices caught fire has put a spotlight on the technology giant’s battery-making affiliate.

Samsung SDI Co. said Monday it was a supplier of batteries used in Galaxy Note 7 phones, which the world’s biggest smartphone maker pulled from shelves in one of the smartphone industry’s biggest recalls, announced Friday. "

It's their own battery factory that made the batteries. They will be sourcing batteries from another manufacturer for now. Someone's going to be in a very hot seat...

To confuse things, the bad batteries are from Samsung SDI, which is a completely separate entity from Samsung Phones.

Samsung is currently under heavy scrutiny due to the failure of its newly released Galaxy Note 7 due to serious battery problems that cause the device to burn up during use. Reports have now circulated that Samsung will drop the batteries used in the Note 7. Thus, Samsung SDI, Samsung's battery supplier and sister company, will no longer manufacture batteries for Samsung's premier devices.

Samsung SDI is responsible for supplying 70 per ent of the batteries that are used in more than the 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7 units that are out in the market today. On the other hand, 30 per cent of the batteries of the Galaxy Note 7 are supplied by ATL, a Chinese battery maker.

The Relationship of Samsung and Samsung SDI

Now, this will result to severing the bonds of Samsung with Samsung SDI and instead dwell on future investments on ATL. If supplies will still fall short, then another option is for Samsung to consider negotiations with LG Chem to mend the possible shortage of battery supplies for the recalled Galaxy Note 7, knowing that that flagship phablet has been recalled.

New evidence suggests this wasn't actually ISIS, it was just poor Abdul plugging in his brand new Samsung to charge for the first time :p
