Back in September, Samsung suspended production of its Galaxy Note 7 smartphone after several reports of fires in replacement devices surfaced.

Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 explosion and fire issue has been the company's worst nightmare. The issue forced the company to kill its Galaxy Note 7 smartphones and Samsung may not stop here. Reports claimed that Samsung may reportedly kill the entire "Note" lineup, with no future smartphones to carry the iconic phablet brand.
