Samsung Galaxy Note 7 recall projected to cost $1 billion
According to estimates compiled by Bloomberg analysts, Samsung may spend as much as $1 billion to replace all of the 2.5 million Note 7 it shipped in the two weeks that the handset's been on sale. 1 in 24 devices of so is possibly carrying a deffective battery unit that's prone to catching fire and exploding while charging.
Unfortunately, the recall has ruined the timing advantage that the Galaxy Note 7 had over the upcoming iPhone 7. Although the Note 7 garnered favorable reviews and benefited from Samsung's strong-arm marketing, its early sales were reinforced by the absence of new iPhones. But now, Samsung has halted sales of the phablet in 10 main markets and the Note 7's reputation has been tarnished.
