6 funny reactions to Samsung's unfortunate Galaxy Note 7 battery issue

It's a bad day for Samsung. The company is recalling its Galaxy Note 7 because the handset represents a potential health hazard.

Following various reports of Note 7 batteries that exploded while charging, Samsung wants to prioritize customer safety, thus it's recalling all Galaxy Note 7 units released until now (already sold, or just shipped to carriers and retailers) - about 2.5 million of them. Until the battery issue is resolved, Note 7 sales are halted around the world (except for China, where the device comes with batteries from different suppliers), while customers who already purchased the handset can ask for a new device, or a refund.

The issue is certainly going to have a negative impact on Samsung's future earnings and overall image, but the company is strong enough to get over this. Samsung's quick response, and the promise to fix things as soon as possible, are firm steps in the right direction.
