There Are Reports Of Samsung S9 Having An Unresponsive Touchsreen

Some Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus devices are experiencing problems with unresponsive touchscreens, according to various reports from online forums like Reddit and XDA. Some users are complaining that some parts of their Galaxy S9/S9+ are not functioning.

This is really bad for Samsung as the Samsung S9 and S9+ were launched  ery recently and they had a major issue with the unresolved widespread Galaxy Note 7 explosion issues last year which made the company totally scrap the Note 7 device.
I sincerely hope this is nothing like the Galaxy Note 7(for their sake).

It’s not clear how widespread the unresponsive touchscreen problem is, but according to Android Central, Samsung has already issued a statement saying that it’s “looking into a limited number of reports,” so hopefully the issue will be resolved soon.

The Elephone S7 'A Samsung S7 Copy' Has Been Launched

Few months ago, I told you guys about the Elephone S7 which I called 'An S7 Clone'.
After much anticipation, the Elephone S7 has finally been launched and available for sale.

The Elephone S7 features a metal frame that goes around the sides separating two glass panels on the back and the front. It has a design similar to Samsung devices and a curved screen like the S7 Edge.
The Elephone S7 looks like a combination of the Galaxy Note 7 and the Galaxy S7 edge.
However, though the Elephone S7 looks like a Samsung flagship, it has a couple of disappointing specifications.

Before I discuss the specifications of the Elephone S7, I want us to look at something Elephone is saying.
Elephone says the S7 is a guaranteed 'explosion-proof' device. The maker says that there are three layers of protection against explosions. The first is a battery that's been extensively tested. The second layer is an explosion-proof membrane and the third is an explosion-proof TPU shell.

There are two versions of the Elephone S7. One comes with a 5.2-inch display while the other has a larger 5.5-inch display. Both devices have a resolution of 1080 × 1920 pixels and are protected by a curved display glass.

The Elephone S7 is powered by a MediaTek Helio X20 chipset with a deca-core CPU and an ARM Mali T880 GPU. The device comes in different variants, The cheapest variant comes with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage but there are also models with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage as well as a variant with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

The Elephone S7 comes with a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP selfie camera. Other specs include a microSD card slot, dual-SIM support, NFC support, Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and a 3000mAh battery.

Pricing starts from $139.99.

Samsung Reports $3 Billion Loss Over Galaxy Note 7

This is definitely not a good year for South Korean mobile phone giant, Samsung, as their Galaxy Note 7 has been in the news more times than Hillary and Donald Trump put together.

Since its launch, there have been numerous reports of the flagship device exploding causing the company to recall all Note 7 devices on two occasions.
Samsung then issued replacement phones with updated software and a new battery supplier, but those phones also caught fire.

Due to this, Samsung says it expects to record a big loss over its decision to stop production of the Galaxy Note 7 smartphone.

In a statement, Samsung says it expects to lose a whopping $3 billion in profit between now and March 2017.

Earlier this week, Samsung announced that it's ending all production and sales of the Note 7.

Christmas just came early for Apple

Samsung Stops Galaxy Note 7 Production

After several cases of Galaxy Note 7 explosions, it seems Samsung is finally heeding my advice;

If you ask me, I would suggest Samsung just kill the Galaxy Note 7 and start planning for the perfect Note 8.

It is safe to say that the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is the worst thing that ever happened to Samsung.

When the explosions started I thought it,  was a one time thing but then several others followed, forcing Samsung to order a worldwide recall of all Galaxy Note 7 and issued a replacement device but it seems even the replacements are not any safer resulting in a large loss for Samsung.

To make matters worse, Top American carriers T-Mobile and AT&T are no longer selling the device, and all four major carriers are accepting unconditional exchanges to a new device.

Korean new Agency Yonhap reported on Monday morning that Samsung has stopped the production of Galaxy Note 7. The pause could be temporary or it could be the final nail in the galaxy note 7's casket. However, it is unofficial as Samsung has declined to comment on the story when asked by news agencies.

AT & T To Stop Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Sales

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.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Catch Fire In Airplane Mid-air

It seems 'awon-iya aye' have finally caught up with Samsung.

Apple is the cause of all your problems..! 

After weeks of bad rep because of the Galaxy Note 7 explosion issue, it is now looking into an incident that happened on Indian airline IndiGo’s flight from Chennai to Singapore earlier this week.

India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation said that passengers on the flight smelled smoke coming out from an overhead baggage bin and alerted the cabin crew.
It was later discovered that there was smoke and sparks coming from a Galaxy Note 2 which was kept inside a bag in the bin.

IndiGo said that there was no fire and that the cabin crew used a fire extinguisher out of caution and then put the phone in a container filled with water.
Samsung has acknowledged that it is looking into the matter, saying “we are in touch with relevant authorities to gather more information.”

The Directorate General  has now said that it’s going to send an advisory to all airlines;
"We advise flyers to exercise caution while flying with Samsung Note devices . They should either keep these devices switched off or not travel with them,"

This is the first of such report about the Galaxy Note 2 as it’s not believed to have battery defects like the Galaxy Note 7.
Samsung released the Galaxy Note 2 back in 2013 and it no longer sells this handset officially.
