Samsung's Galaxy Note7 nightmare just won't end.。
After an official recall of its Note7 phone with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the banning of the faulty devices on flights by the Federal Aviation Administration, Samsung finally started shipping loads and loads of replacement devices for Note7 owners to exchange.。

According to Bloomberg, Samsung may have rushed the Note7 in order to beat Apple's "boring" iPhone 7 phones. With all the manufacturing problems, the story certainly matches up.。
