Does anyone else think like me this might be a one time failure that is caused by the replacement phone being dropped or mishandled? Or, perhaps, a setup by the competition?
Unless I see statistical evidence that replacement Note 7 is catching on fire (random, different circumstances), then I do not see a reason to believe Note 7 replacement is b0rked.
Unfortunately, most people do not reason like that. Samsung's reputation will suffer, even after this single "Replacement Note 7 on fire" incident.
- iends 10y agoMost people don't reason like that because there is no acceptable reason for a phone to catch fire from "mishandling" or "dropping". This was even after they thought they fixed the issue, so of course it looks very bad. Not only did they build a dangerous consumer device, it seems they did not actually fix it the second time around.

- PaulRobinson 10y agoIt's far more likely that in building one of the most sophisticated devices mankind has attempted, they fucked up a bit. It is an insanely hard engineering challenge. I have no problem believing that a malfunction rate in the 0.00000001% region is possible.
