> Even though the percentage is vanishingly small, Samsung cannot be associated with exploding phones. It's still high enough to indicate a general manufacturing problem. To ditch it completely may mostly be a marketing decision but to put production on hold for some time to investigate and really fix the root cause seems to be reasonable. It may also help internal processes making sure that no additional item from a possible faulty batch ever gets sold accidentally. Maybe we will see a similar device in a few months, maybe branded differently, maybe with a redesigned casing, maybe some marketing campaign showing how well they've protected the battery this time.
