Samsung Galaxy Note 7 recall News
Samsung Electronics has suspended production of its Galaxy Note 7 smartphone, a report said Monday, a month after a recall prompted by battery explosions and a day after two major overseas distributors halted replacements.
The third-quarter profit beat market expectations of about 7.4 trillion won thanks to brisk sales of semiconductors and display panels.
Samsung has made a fresh attempt at salvaging the reputation of the Galaxy Note 7 by relaunching the device after taking corrective action with the defective battery in the handset.
Since Samsung started rolling out replacements last week, half a million users in the US have exchanged handsets. About a half of 420,000 South Korean users reportedly have done so, but some are complaining of delayed delivery of new phones.
