SEOUL, South Korea - Samsung Electronics is terminating production of its troubled Galaxy Note 7 smartphone, according to a person familiar with the decision, in a major and embarrassing about-face for the South Korean electronics giant.
In a statement filed with the country's stock exchange late Tuesday, Samsung said it had made a "final decision" to stop production. That means the company will no longer produce or market the smartphone, said the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because Samsung did not publicly disclose further information about the decision.
LOVE my Note 7. Ordered an black iPhone 7 Plus 32GB which will hold me over until Samsung's next big SAFE phone or iPhone 8 Plus. Oh well, at least I got 3 free 256GB SD cards to sell.
If you can't work that out, there is no point discussing. Just because you don't need one (neither do I for the matter), it is clearly obvious why people MIGHT prefer SD cards over the cloud. But alas, ignorance is rampant these days.
They're relishing the fact that a company that has been rivalling Apple has made a major slip up but this doesn't change the fact that the S6/7 and S6/S7 Edge phones are selling like hot cakes and in around 6 months time the S8/S8 Edge is going to help erode IOS's marketshare even more when it's released and this story has been all but forgotten.

You're like the people whining why the phones don't have removeable batteries. You don't need them. The phones wouldn't be the most beautiful on the market if Samsung were forced to make them with removeable batteries to satisfy the loud minority that want to hold technology back. Same with SD cards.

So you buy a new $700 phone when the battery only holds a 50% charge after 2 years?
Personally, I couldn't care less about a removable battery, I will just solder a new one in like my ipods, but I at least understand why someone want's it.
Why would you want less features in a phone? The cloud compresses images and videos unless you are willing to pay a monthly fee for increased quality/storage. As mentioned above, cloud = less security and needs internet access.

More likely holding back awesome piece of technique to get customers to dump their phones every 2 years.(my wife's HTC M8 is ready to be dumped because battery is not enough to get through one day of light usage and changing battery involves dissasembing pretty much all of it - down to screen and some parts of motherboard). What sort of benefit does non-removable battery hold apart telephones being stupid thin? Just so you know my fater in law has a CAT phone withremovable battery and SD card (and 3.5 mm headphone jack for that matter) which is more waterproof/dustproof than any of the popular smartphones on the market.
The same people that defend companies removing SD card slots and removeable batteries are the same folks that cheared Apple for removing the audio jack.
I was hoping we were past all of this silliness when they did the exchange program. Now we are left in the dark yet again about the fate of these phones. Are they going to have another recall? Are they going to try and repair this batch? I am quite frankly tired of moving my mothers data from phone to phone
Also guys please stay on topic SD slots have nothing to do with this thread.
That sucks. Note 7 was a really nice phone. I have a Note 5 but I only upgrade every 2 years.
Will still be getting the Note 8 or w/e they'll call it if they rename it after this whole debacle. Hopefully they can recover since a lot of ignorant, casual users have even started asking if their non-note 7 phones ( some that are years old ) will explode
. These same people will hopefully forget in a month since they have the attention span of a 5 year old.
am I the only one that has a dedicated server to auto sync my phone to a server locally at home? it dosent matter if im out and about, my pictures get immediately backed up as i take them. I know this relies on data, but i dont even come close to using 30gb a month anymore. I cant justify paying someone else to host my data, when I can just do it myself.

If the only reason to get a different or better data plan with a phone is to cover for a missing feature, I would rather just get a phone that's not missing features. I don't have or need an SD card slot on my phone, but I can definitely see the need or at least want for one.
And $60 a year is a lot more expensive than $0 a year. Of course you have to account for the cost of the SD card(s) itself though.
You're right a person's residence is a but unfair to bring into this debate. But so is saying it's "missing features" when you're literally preventing it from being used for its purpose. When you are refusing to purchase credit or data your phone it is then devoid of more than 5 features, compared to the one missing feature you lambast. On top of this the features you are denying your phone are FAR more significant as they apply to its ORIGINAL intended use, not just niche interests.
Also,if you're claiming $60 a year for a phone is too much then either you haven't considered the cost to value proposition to start with, or your social life entirely involves dota and imagefap.
I think the most useful feature is the stylus, i had a Note 3 (now i have an S7 Edge) and i really missed the stylus, i was seriously considering changing it for a Note 7 but this whole fiasco happened, i think i'll refrain from that.
The stylus is really useful
