The puns in this video were literally fire 🔥 Had a blast watching it 💥

One of their finest products, the Samsung Hand Grenade.

I remember back in 2016, everyone thought that this phone was a banger, the hottest phone of the year, and that it was straight fire

This phone's fate is such a shame, it's quite a beautiful device. I wish they'd expanded the Fan Edition to outside S̶o̶u̶t̶h̶ ̶K̶o̶r̶e̶a̶ Asia

The Note 7 was perhaps the best received Samsung phone ever and looked certain to be a huge success. It's such a shame that the batteries were so poorly made by their suppliers that this excellent product has become a punchline. If the recalled phones were not refurbished then the story is even more sad. Such a waste.

1:31 and that's how "fast charging" was invented by Samsung. They came up with a 240W brick 😂

I remember when the Note7 dropped while I was in college. I had the Note6 at the time and was looking to upgrade to the 7. My friend actually got his hands on the 7 and that was about two weeks before the battery/fire issues starting popping up. Even when Samsung issued mass recalls for the phone, my friend didn't want to give his phone up. It wasn't until Verizon issued an "over-the-air" update that essentially bricked the phone on its network that my friend decided to send his in. It's a shame really because it was a really great phone compared to its peers at the time.

Remember when Samsung “played it safe” with the Note 8 by giving it a 3000mah compared to 3600mah in the Note 8 and yeah the battery life was terrible, but it didn’t blow up lol

For anyone that doesn't know, when this phone came out it was the best Samsung had ever made and it had huge promises. The design was shockingly modern and it recieved a lot of praise.

This phone is iconic to me. It was one of my dream phones to own but sadly we all know what happened. I did use the note 7 a few times on display at T-Mobile and Costco and it felt like the phone I would keep for years until it broke completely I’ll always remember the note 7

The design is so good. Upgraded camera and speaker would've been enough for a 2022 FE model.

The blast from the past. 💥

I loved the explosion and fire related puns!

I've said it before many times and i'll say it again, this is the most beautiful phone design ever made...imo. I do really love the note 5 & 7(FE) for its boxiness

“And boom, we’re done!” I saw what you did Hugh

Hugh, the puns were awesome man. Anyone remember the GTA:V mod to turn grenades into a Note 7?

Man, that color for the note 7 is one of the best of any phone ever made imo

I have an old original release Note 7 with a Note FE battery in it, I love that thing. Such a beautiful, well design phone in every way except for the one, and the full screen AoD was so cool. I think its also interesting that it was the last completely symmetrical samsung body and frame until the S22U with the obvious exception of the camera location.

I really do enjoy watching your content, love the restoration and the transformation between when it was first damaged to brand new

I remember watching on in horror while the note 7 fiasco went down, it was such a promising device, perhaps even a potential best phone of the year for its time. Damn shame what happened

I would totally buy one as a secondary device, but the Samsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition or Note 7 are so hard to find

I had 2 of these. One when they first launched, which was then issued with a replacement. The first one I had was perfectly fine and had no issues whatsoever, the second one would get extremely hot while charging. Ended up returning the second one. Really is a shame, because the phone was genuinely good for its time.

I bought the FE version of this, and I've owned over a dozen Samsung phones from their Galaxy S and equivalent line, It still is to this day, the best in-hand feel phone I've ever held and I only have about 30 phones all together. I want to say the One Plus 7 was the second best.

What a beautiful looking phone. Am always happy to see you save devices from being e-waste.

I really do enjoy watching your content, love the restoration and the transformation between when it was first damaged to brand new.

I have been looking for this all day. Thank you very much.

1:26 the real fast charging they dont want you to know 🤣

Thankfully I was able to get a hold of a blue one a few years ago with an intact rear housing. The only issue it had was a cracked screen and ebay had one with a frame so I immediately replaced it.

I can assure everyone that apart from the batterys these recalled Note 7’s were not destroyed.. at least in Australia. Great video Hugh!

Good work returning it. Nice to see u care about the lives of people

Awesome restoration it was a joy watching you work your magic.

The colours you chose make the phone look amazing. I wish the Note 8 whould have the same colour options as the Note 8

I remember, it was my junior year of high school and one of my classmates had the first Note 7 and replacement version. He had no issues with either. He had the replacement one the longest. If I remember correctly, he kept getting letters in the mail from Verizon pleading with him to return it.

Wonderfull phone after restoration. Well done Hugh 👏

I remember checking news about this phone daily back when it was out hoping the problem was solved. I was dying to get my hands on a black Note 7. Easily one of the best looking phones I've seen!

I remember when it was a huge problem with this phone blowing up, I think it was rushed out production wise which is why it had major issues. Over all nice to see a working version of this phone.

I love how this phone looks. I think the Note 7 is the most beautiful phone ever created.

Such a great phone to have as a part of a collection. I had one of these on release and had to buy an FE later because it really was such a cool phone. I regret returning the OG 7.

That blue and gold edition is beautiful. Amazing video

I personally have had a really good experience with AliExpress, with most issues i had being the shipping company's fault. The most remarkable thing was something to be expected, since a wireless charger for under 5 bucks can't be trusted. It simply didn't work 100% properly, but it does work.

I found a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge in an AT&T E-Waste bin today it has a cracked screen but still works fine!

I used my Galaxy Note Fan Edition until September 2021 .. it was a great phone for a few years! I still love the style of it, especially in silver!

I would like to just have this phone on a shelf, such a pleasure to look at it!

Didn’t you replace the battery in one already ?

I thought you already repaired one? EDIT: jeez, that was 2 years ago?

This is so cool man looks so nice

Still using this phone, absolutely love this beast.

A truly explosive repair. Nice video as always.

Back when this came out i really wanted one in this color. Only used S series and had an s6 edge at the time and i was just about to get a Note 7,and then the recall got announced so i had to stick to an s7 edge. This phone is pretty unique in its ways,the FE Korean model can run Android 9 with One Ui officially. I think it’s the only Samsung phone that officially runs One UI and still has a physical home button and thick bezels

I watching 👀 your vid again -I do like u went against odds and get that note7 working 💪 👍

What an explosive restoration! haha The puns had me rolling (my eyes mostly).. .xD

2016?...Damn time flies so quickly...feels like yesterday when all of this was happening with the Note 7 lineup

I've been waiting for you to repair it for so long

excellent video as always mate

I didnt know the note 7 still had a physical home button- I wonder if the note 7 would still be usable if samsung modified the battery

In my opinion, the explosive problem come from its cpu/soc. Snapdragon 820/821 is the hottest cpu ever, its configuration about thortling is absolutly madness (of course some companies modify it). It will still remain in highest clock speed, even at 67°C when you load heavy thing like game, or even when charging. The thortling start at 70, from there the Soc become slight slower. But 70? The batery will just screamingly scared if i could say

I remember wanting the note 7 SO bad. I had the Note 5 at the time and was really looking forward to the upgrade.

4:10 "However, one screw is missing. It was like that when I first got the phone" DankPods in the distance: _SOMEONE'S BEEN IN HERE_

Samsung is Pinnacle of good looking devices

Ohmygod this was so nostalgic. I want one so bad

I almost got this banger of a phone but after the news of the batteries exploding I just opted to get the regular S7. I remember being very disappointed about not getting it, the phone is gorgeous!

Great video, as usual!

Essa restauração de hoje foi muito top esse Samsung note tem um visual bem único e nessa cor ficou bem legal

I absolutely love your content 👍

Wow, that just looks 🔥🔥🔥

whoa these restorations are so good

I always wanted a silver note 7, it was my ultimate dream phone But we all know what happened to it, since I couldn’t get it i instead went for the note9 when it came out Still itching for a note7 or the note fan edition still tho…

Where did you find the battery replacement? I have a note7 that I rescued from a closing sprint store dumpster, that has since had the battery start to balloon up. Would love to be able to replace the battery with something less spicy.

I'm a lucky owner of a Note FE. Such an awesome phone, mate. Still had a headphone jack and looked insanely good. The only downside is the Exynos processor, I wish it had a Snapdragon, because even though it initially shipped with Android 7, it received updates up to Android 9, and it just couldn't keep up with the additional load of new features. It's still usable, but some stutters do appear from time to time.

Man, that stuff is lit! No cap.

Such an amazing Phone And sooooo Beautiful and being destroyed just for a battery..... If that haven't happend it will have been a ultra succesful Phone....

Such a beautiful device, a real shame it was discontinued

Hi Hugh thank you so much 😊

I LOVE THE START

The last phone Samsung truely tried to innovate with. After this they got too scared to try and push tech in significant ways, even today with their super fast charging on the s22 ultra they've designed it so it only charges at 45W briefly before going back down to slow speeds. Such a shame.

It was a good looking device, shame it wasn't the scorching hit they wanted.

I was so mad about the whole issues with the note 7. I had saved up to buy it for a while to upgrade from my Note 3. I never actually did get one, by the time i had got enough news of the issues was well known and decided against it. I just kept the note 3 for another year and ended up getting the Note 8 on launch day. I had also much more recently had a phone battery explode. Somehow i managed to flick the phone onto the floor without noticing then i rolled back in my deskchair and next thing i hear is the HISSSSS a battery makes as it explodes. Im quite experienced with RC hobby lipos and so ran to the kitchen, grabbed a pot from the stove then hooked the burning phone into it and yeeted it outside. Took me hours to get all the smoke out of the house. All in all that wasnt the phones fault at all. But also wasnt what i had in mind, when i bought that phone to use as a burner

I realy love this video, thanks for the video!

I’d actually still be using one of these if they were actually safe

Very good repair as always. Like your videos. As i wrote before. I don't care if someone don't want me to have the phone that i bought myself. Samsung can stick their opinion in some weird place of their's. Even when i understand why they did all this sh.. making Note 7 not usable, i still think that my phone is actually my, it must work for me and they have no rights to take it away from me by such methods.

I still remember my coral blue Note7. I loved it for the few months (?) I got to keep it. First recall was a blessing for me. I got my phone on launch day and a few days later, while waiting for a Spigen case to arrive in the mail, the phone slipped from my hand as I was walking in my kitchen and hit the tile floor. It was pretty much ok, despite it being naked, but there was a teeny tiny scratch on the front display in the upper left of where the notification bar was. No biggie, but triggered my OCD since it was a brand new phone! The first recall essentially replaced that phone for me for free and without warranty. Second recall just pissed me off. I was being "forced" to give up my phone in exchange for an inferior phone or a different company's phone altogether. My mindset was, "I had no issues (yet) with mine, so why do I have to suffer???" I was also angry because I had traded in my (non-Edge) Note 4 for the Note7. Note 4 was inferior, but still really good (although kind of boring for a Note, IMO). Obviously, I couldn't have predicted what would've happened with the Note7, and obviously my Note 4 was no longer recoverable. It was also no longer sold by my carrier 'new.' I would pretty much have to spend my upgrade money buying an older 'used/refurbished' phone. I'm technologically capable and all, but I don't know the exact details that caused the reported Note7 issues. To this day, I'm still 50% convinced (back then, I was like 95%) that a majority of the issues were user error. I remember one guy had left his Note7 in his Jeep and returned to the car as it was on fire. If you leave any phone in a car on a hot day, that phone will get extremely hot. But yeah, the phone should be able to take protective measures to reduce temps as much as possible. I recently left my new S22 Ultra in my car in 85F heat (luckily, it was left on my seat and not dash). Phone was super hot, and limited CPU and screen brightness severely (could hardly tell screen was even on!). I held phone over the car air vents until it cooled down enough. In the end, I decided to go to the LG V20. Wasn't nearly as nice as the Note7, but it was pretty good at the time (kinda ugly in retrospect though, lol). I did it in part due to refusing to go with the slightly older S7 (which was still an upgrade over my Note 4). The other parts were because of "protest" against Samsung (I was very salty). I purposely skipped over the Note8 to see what would happen, and to ensure they got their sh** together. Ended up getting the Note9 a few months after its launch day (still waiting to see if there'd be issues, but then found out that Best Buy would have an exclusive silver version and held out for it). Edit: btw, in the video, I LOVE how you removed the protective film from screen and back panel. You purposely went slow. Just like all us techies do for that glorious high we get when unpacking a new gadget.

I really want one, it looks so good!

I literally kept my note 7 until they kneecapped the software on it , still to this day the recall was bs, 100s of Hyundai can catch fire but a few Samsungs OMG bank them for the planet

If samsung made the battery removable, water resistance would be limited to IP67, it would bend easier, make the phone feel cheaper, and potentially could cause people to throw batteries away after seeing the recall,and since you talk about the environment so much, you know that batteries in the garbage bin aren’t that good for the environment.

This video was lit🔦Straight Fire🔥 It was very explosive💥

🔥 restoration video

The company I work for actually has the software to reenable the test menus for Samsung Verizon phones. In the dialer, type in ##366633# and it brings up the debug mode to enable the menus to be accessed. This doesn't actually reenable the menus, but gives the software permission to do so.

It just proves how careless companies are when a random person who repairs phones on the internet fixed Samsung's problem of the battery and Samsung just shut down the phone and wanted everyone to forget about it.

I remember having the gold colour and I just loved that phone. I have never liked a phone as much as the Note 7. Its so sad that issue had to happen.

9:11 "This phone has blown me away" lol

Love the colour of the phone..it matches the S-Pen🤩

Love seeing you fix phones laptops ect I would love to see you fix some game console tech

Finally a Note 7 video! My favourite series

I still have the original note 7 in blue. loved that phone and its still in perfect condition

Whoa, it's unreal seeing the phone I'm using to watch this video... being featured in the said video. Brilliant phone

I just found your channel and subscribed because I can finally understand a phone repair video! More seriously I have a Note 7 Fan Edition (the re-release phone) which has a slow response screen (i need to tap it 1.5 seconds to register a touch every time) and the screen test shows only the middle X is registering and the edges are not at all. My wife dropped the phone a few times and left it on her car dashboard. Is the screen basically stuffed and will a screen replacement fix it?

I've bought a total of 5 screens(and a couple of batteries) from aliexpress, all were completely fine and the price is great. The way I diy install batteries though, I NEVER glue them in, I just put some paper in so they fit snug and don't slide around.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is a legendary smartphone for the wrong reason. It really is such a shame the legacy it left behind, as it is a really gorgeous looking phone, especially in that blue color. Also, awesome job with all the puns in the video 🤣🤣🤣!

That blue color is just amazing. Wish my iphone 13 pro had that color instead of the sky blue

These Note 7 videos are my favourite please try get more
