Samsung Galaxy Note 7 topped newer Android releases in usage even after being pulled off the market
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 kept its top spot on the global Android usage chart even after the model was taken off the market
How attractive a smartphone is the Samsung Galaxy Note 7? Even though users of the explosion-prone phablet were being allowed to exchange it for just about any smartphone on the market, one report shows that more people are still using it globally than the combined usage of the LG V20, the OnePlus 3T and the Sprint exclusive HTC Bolt. Those three models were released in October, November, and November respectively.
Samsung executives can only look at these stats and imagine what might have been. Reportedly, $5 billion in lost revenue went up in smoke when the Galaxy Note 7 did likewise. This could have been one of the most successful phablets ever released. Ironically, the issues that affected the Galaxy Note 7 might actually lead to pent up demand for the Galaxy Note 8. Originally, it was believed that the cancellation of the Galaxy Note 7 would give Samsung's name a major hit that it might not be so easy to recover from. But once a new Galaxy Note 8 is unveiled next year, all might be forgotten.
