Samsung has axed its Galaxy Note 7 smartphone, stopping production of
the faulty device a day after it halted global sales of the product. The South Korean company said Tuesday that it has made a final decision to stop production for the sake of consumer safety.
'Taking our customer's safety as our highest priority, we have decided
to halt sales and production of the Galaxy Note 7,' the company said.
Samsung had earlier recalled the phones and replaced them but had
to stop production after the supposedly safer replacements it was
providing for recalled Note 7 phones were catching fire.
