In the second half of 2016, due to numerous fires and battery explosions, Samsung's flagship smartphone, the Galaxy Note 7, was recalled. At first, Samsung recalled them for battery replacement, but the copies returned to the owners began to explode again. After that, the company completely stopped selling the model.
