Popular US carrier AT&T is considering ending all further sales of the 'cursed' Note 7, according to a report from Bloomberg.
If this happens, AT&T will immediately stop sales of the "safe" Samsung Note 7 replacement devices — one of which caught fire on a Southwest Airlines plane on Wednesday — and the carrier may also stop exchanging defective Note 7 for the new replacement phones.
Instead, AT&T will allow its customers who bought the Note 7 to return it for another smartphone of their choice.
The fire incident on Southwest Airlines flight has Samsung's carrier partners worried; they already dealt with the initial recall, and it appears AT&T may be tired of taking chances with the Note 7.
If AT&T stop sales of Samsung Note 7s, it could make other carriers do the same — leaving Samsung little choice but to call off the Note 7's US release.
Samsung's replacement Note 7s haven't yet been officially deemed dangerous by Samsung or federal investigators.
However if you ask me, I would suggest Samsung just kill the Galaxy Note 7 and start planning the perfect smartphone for Note 8.
