Which in a way was too bad because the Galaxy Note 7 had the potential to be the best smartphone of 2016.

Many think the real culprit was the way Samsung implemented the USB Type C connector technology on this phone, which made vulnerable to battery overheating. If Samsung had stayed with the older Micro USB connector, it's likely that the Galaxy Note 7 wouldn't be suffering all the battery issues.

Samsung was under pressure to catch up with slick Apple iPhone. Apple's profit margin is much higher. In hindsight, they should not have tried too hard.

Last week I upgraded from LG G3 to a Samsung S7 Edge.

Absolutely awesome in every attribute.

BTW, the S7/S7Edge has USB C connector with zero problems.

I love the “Fast Charging” technology.

Galaxy Note 7 wouldn't be suffering all the battery issues

I pre-ordered my Note 7 and have been happy with it. When I first heard of the fire issue, I made sure all of my chargers were lower amperage. I use my USB type C cord and my wireless chargers all running off of old school chargers. So far no issues.

I got my phone on a lease from the carrier and was in their store 8-10 times over the past month asking about replacements and where I sat on their list of customers waiting.

Now I am going to wait it out. Today, I will just accept my Note 7 as is and enjoy it.
