Tech giant Samsung have taken out full page ads in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post to apologise for all of the issues surrounding cancelled Note 7 device.

“An important tenet of our mission is to offer best-in-class safety and quality. Recently, we fell short on this promise. For this we are truly sorry… We will re-examine every aspect of the device, including all hardware, software, manufacturing and the overall battery structure. We will move as quickly as possible, but will take the time needed to get the right answers.”

The company continued to state that they will be carrying out a “careful” investigation into the causes and vow to share all the information with the public.

Many who ordered the Note 7 are looking at the recently released Google Pixel XL with Android Nougat as a likely alternative.

We look forward to hearing more reports from Samsung as they continue their investigation.

The launch of the Galaxy Note 7 was an undoubtable debacle for Samsung, creating fears that the Note series will be haunted by memories of exploding batteries for years to come.

To add insult to injury, new reports from South Korean news outlet Newsis aren’t helping the tech giants reputation. Their latest report suggests that the flagship phablet from Samsung could be killed off completely, with Samsung reducing releases to a single premium phone annually to ensure product quality. An insider from Samsung’s Russian operations has also reported that the Note brand is feeling the pressure following the company’s decision to announce the end of the Galaxy Note 7 (source:PhoneArena.)

This news obviously has not been confirmed by Samsung, but there are two things we know for sure;

1. Samsung will certainly be working had to make changes to its current marketing strategy to gain back the confidence of the consumer, which can only result in some exciting tech advancements in the future.

2. The Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are still one of our favourite and most reliable Android handsets released this year.
