Samsung's flagship Galaxy Note7 was supposed to strengthen positions of the Korean smartphone producer in the global market. However, the numerous cases of exploding smartphones which lead to serious injuries undermined the credibility of the brand and forced the company to recall the gadgets, Sputnik reported.
Following the incident, the US Federal Aviation Administration even issued an official prohibition banning Galaxy Note 7s from being brought onto planes operated by US airlines. Under the new rule, it's now a federal crime to fly with the gadget.
Samsung's decision to stop production and sales of its flagship caused a wide resonance. Social network users joke that the Galaxy Note 7 smartphone was so "immersive" that it could "blow your face off".
