Galaxy Note 7 Fiasco: Samsung to Recall 1,858 Smartphones in China

Samsung is not in a good position right now. Period. With the iPhone 7 getting rave reviews, and the LG V20 launching with Nougat out of the gate, Samsung's needed the Note 7 to be a big success. 

Sadly, it blew up in Samsung's face. Literally. 

Samsung blamed a minor battery manufacturing flaw for the Galaxy Note 7 fires and is seeking more time to investigate the cause behind its deepest crisis in years. 

Samsung has embarked on a mammoth recall of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 globally. Reports claim that this exercise is costing Samsung to the tune of 1 billion dollars. Yes, 1 BILLION dollars! 

Now China's quality watchdog said on Wednesday that Samsung Electronics Co Ltd's local unit will be recalling 1.858 units of the galaxy note 7 in China.
