    [Poll] What do you think about Samsung’s decision to stop manufacturing the Galaxy Note 7?

    Earlier today, Samsung announced that it's going to pull the plug on the Galaxy Note 7 and end production of the handset. Many consumers were shocked by the South Korean company's decision, while others — us included — would have been more surprised if it went ahead and issued a second recall of the device.

    I, for one, have been expecting this for quite a while now. As I mentioned in the announcement piece I published a couple of hours ago, the Galaxy Note 7 has been plagued by issues ever since it first started shipping to customers back in August. Samsung's already tried to fix the problems and failed royally, so now it's time it gives up and moves on.

    It's a huge shame, though, as the Galaxy Note 7 was an incredibly capable handset. Despite its troubles, I'm still a big fan of the hardware. It's gorgeous to look at, immensely powerful and features cutting-edge technology. It's just a pity some units packed faulty batteries that were prone to overheating and bursting into flames.

    What do you think about Samsung's decision to stop manufacturing the Galaxy Note 7? Be sure to drop a vote in the poll below and take to the comments section to share a more detailed response. I'll be replying to comments over on Twitter too, so be sure to reach out. Let's have a great discussion!
