Samsung to remotely kill Galaxy Note 7

Scary. Good in this case, but scary thinking they can purposefully make your device slow and lagged in a bid to force you to upgrade.

Yeah this.

This is a very scary thought that cellphone companies can do this

More scary if someone else got their hands on the tech. Imagine someone​ shutting down all the Samsungs like some sort of Snake Plissken nutjob.
 
Hmm a remote kill switch via update. I wonder what the law will say about this.

Yeah, would be interesting.

Imagine you have an emergency out in the sticks and you battery runs flat followed by plugging it in to you car charger and nothing, somebody dies.
 
They can do this for faulty phones but not due stolen phones?
