Note 7 Owners Demands For A Better Compensation
Of course the response have created a lot of controversy, giving the harmful impact that the flagship´s fiasco had, and the fact that many Note 7 owners that filed the lawsuit think that all of these Samsung´s benefits and compensations are not enough, considering that it can´t be compared with the troubles caused by the smartphone. Apparently, these consumers want another compensation for the psychological anguish and fear while using this product, in addition to the time spent in replacing it.
Naturally, this is a difficult situation that still harms Samsung´s imagine after the company decided to recall the failed flagship which was one of the worst moments in its history, and the collateral damages were so rough that even affected the South Korean economy. According to Tech Republic, although what is happening with the Note 7 owners could complicate things even more for Samsung, many customers still trust in its products and would give the company a second chance next year.
