The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has only been on the market for two weeks – and what started off as a glorious introduction and unprecedented sales has turned into a marketing nightmare.

The first reviews were great, but then there were stories of brittle glass – the Galaxy Note 7 is the first to use the new Gorilla Glass 5, which was to be harder and prevent breakage.

There were reports that the device would reboot and get stuck in a loop. To top it all off, there are reports of a subtle percentage (0.1%) exploding.

To their defense, Samsung did act fast to halt sales and conduct their own investigation. They concluded that it was a battery issue causing the explosions and are now ordering a recall of all Galaxy Note 7s.
