It’s official: Samsung has stopped global Galaxy Note 7 sales
June 17, 2025
Update: October 11:Samsung has nowpermanently discontinued Galaxy Note 7 production. The decision could cost the company as much as $17 billion in lost sales.
Original post, October 10:News just in – the Galaxy Note 7 saga could be over, at least for now, as Samsung has now issued a statement confirming it is halting all global sales and exchanges of the Galaxy Note 7. In an updated statement to the one from earlier where the company confirmed it had halted production, Samsung said:
In particular, the company is recommending thatALL Galaxy Note 7 users should power down and return their phone, which essentially means the Galaxy Note 7 is dead. For the most fleeting of moments, the Galaxy Note 7 looked to be the perfect smartphone but a couple of weeks after its release, the trouble started and the global recall was announced.
One global recall was unprecedented but with trouble also flaring for the replacement units, a second global recall is now in short order. The result = one of the best phones of the year (with one critical flaw) is no more. Goodbye Galaxy Note 7 (and possibly the entire Galaxy Note range), it’s been a blast.
