Why not buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 even after the … – Tecmundo

Important: this article brings together the points that show that the purchase of the Galaxy Note 7 may not be a good idea, but it is important to make clear that the arguments shown here are not directed to other models of Samsung. It is worth remembering that the Galaxy S7 remains as a great option for all consumers.

In August, Samsung unveiled the details of its latest top of the line in the international market: the Galaxy Note 7 — the successor to the Galaxy Note 5 in the segment of smartphones-phablets high performance.

With a processor of high performance and other hardware components able to place the device at the top of the rankings of the benchmarks, it still promised to be a TouchWiz renewed and much more quality for consumers.

Then just make the account: hardware, cutting-edge, beautiful design, resources, promising and improved software… The result could only be a true sales success. And indeed it was so early on, but the problem is that the launch of the device has been quite a — pardon the pun — explosive.

As it is… As you already must be knowing, many units of the device have exploded around the world. This made bodies of aviation to forbid it from being used on flights. It was there that came the recall to fix the problems, but there are signs that this is not enough. And that is why we have brought several reasons why you should not buy the Galaxy Note 7.

Release explosive

Since the first batches of the device were sent to the market, there have been claims that the Galaxy Note 7 would be presenting problems of overheating and explosions. It looks like something serious when we speak this way, because really this is not something as simple as a failure of the firmware — that can be corrected with updates.

A problem in the manufacture of batteries is the big villain. The own Samsung has revealed: “Based on our investigation, we learned that there is a problem with the cell of the battery. A heating end of the cell of the battery happens when the connection to the ‘anode-to-cathode’ comes in contact, that is an error that is very rare in the manufacturing process”.

The high number of cases concerned consumers from all over the world, making with that the Samsung had that position on the case several times. This lasted until the company announced a recall global! Meaning: the owners of the equipment would have to send their devices back to Samsung for that the adjustments to the hardware were made and guaranteeing the security.

Then all was well, is not even? Unfortunately not!

the Recall does not guarantee 100% safety

Even after the recall of Samsung, there are some devices that are still having problems in the market. At the end of September, several consumers have reported problems of overheating on their devices. With this, several of them became concerned, wondering what could be a hint that the new batch might explode.

Although Samsung say that this heating is normal and should not worry anyone, a chinese consumer has not had the same luck than their colleagues. This is because your unit of the device exploded less than 24 hours after he arrived at his house — and, according to the shop that sold it, was it a secure drive.

are these isolated cases or the recall will not be enough to prevent new units of the Galaxy Note 7 will suffer with battery problems?

You will never use it on the plane

This may seem silly to some, but the Galaxy Note 7 is a smartphone designed for those who use the device for work. And if you are a frequent flyer on business trips, knows very well that the devices can be very useful in the resolution of problems during flights.

THE FAA has already recomedou to airlines that do not allow the use of the Galaxy Note 7 on flights for the brazilian

Because if you use a Galaxy Note 7, you’ll have hours of impossibility during your travels. This happens because the various agencies of civil aviation international are preventing consumers from using their devices inside the aircraft — which includes the FAA, which recommended to the airlines that prohibit use.

Difficulty retail

Maybe you don’t buy a smartphone thinking to resell it, but this is a very common practice. Are many consumers that take advantage of the good condition of your appliances to "pass them forward" and to get some money in time to buy a new product.

Because you must imagine that the image of the Galaxy Note 7 is not the best in the world. Soon… can You imagine someone who accepted to pay the price that a Galaxy Note 7 used will be drawing on here a year or two? In fact… would You buy a used copy of a unit that suffered so much at the beginning of your sales?

Galaxy S7 can be a great choice

Okay that the Galaxy S7 or the Galaxy S7 Edge are not exactly the same thing that the Note 7. They have smaller screens, fewer resources professionals and did not bring the pen integrated, the S Pen. Even so, the stability of the system and the good features it can be an excellent choice to all consumers. In addition, it is good to say also that the S7 arrives in stores with prices much more affordable than those that are expected for the Galaxy Note 7… So if these arrive in the brazilian market, is not the same?
