Samsung replaces Amitabh Bachchan's Note 7 with Galaxy S7

Ever since we came to know about Amitabh Bachchan's Galaxy Note 7 saga, there was a question on what Bollywood star would get in lieu of it. The Note 7 has been recalled after its battery overheating problem and Samsung is asking everyone to return the phone. well, on Friday we got the answer. In a tweet, Bachchan said that Samsung was giving him a Galaxy S7 as a replacement for his Note 7.

Earlier, Bachchan had complained on social media after Samsung issued an update that limited the battery charging in the Note 7 to 60 per cent. "I have Samsung Note 7. Battery charge restricted to 60%. When will it allow me to go 100 ? Mr Samsung please respond ! zara jaldi !" he had tweeted.

This was a bad PR for the Korean company. And it had to respond. When Bachchan had talked about his Note 7, Samsung was in the process of sending out replacement units for the Galaxy Note 7 that were earlier sent to the market. Soon, Bachchan too got the replacement, directly from Samsung. This made him happy and he was willing to forgive the Galaxy maker.

"Had tweeted about the 60% battery issue with my Samsung Note 7 .. Samsung replaced it with new.. ! Impressed! No issues now!" he tweeted.

Unfortunately for Samsung, the replacement units that it brought to the market did not entirely fixed the issue. The similar battery problems, which plagued the original units, also plagued the replacement units and that forced the company to issue a total recall and the kill Note 7.

As a result, Big B also had to give up his Note 7. That probably happened on Friday, while he was shooting for Sarkar 3. "So Samsung replaces my Note 7 with S7 .. transfer taking place while SARKAR 3 waits for shot to be ready," Bachchan tweeted on Friday.

MS Dhoni’s return catch was big moment in the match: Kane Williamson

MS Dhoni’s return catch was big moment in the match: Kane Williamson New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson lauded his bowlers for drying up the runs during India’s chase in the second ODI here, terming Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s brilliant return catch by Tim Southee as a “big moment” in the match. When asked about how the bowlers and fielders responded while defending a low total, Williamson said: “Someone like MS Dhoni, he can finish matches when he is allowed to play his shots. He is the best in the world. That catch was big for us.” Williamson was happy with the manner his bowlers responded on a tricky surface and also gave an insight to how some adjustments led to the Indian skipper playing 37 dot balls. “On this kind of a surface (Kotla), scrapping was important. You needed to put the ball in areas where it’s tough to get away and try and build that pressure. It was an extremely good effort considering that the ball was damp due to dew factor...

Mission Impossible – Rogue Nation

Mission Impossible – Rogue Nation: Film Review Thanks to a sharp script that springs a real surprise or two and a pace that never slackens, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation rates as the second-best of the numerous franchise titles of the summer, after Mad Max: Fury Road. Armed with an absorbing mystery plot that does more than just connect the dots between action set-pieces (the most outlandish of which is dispensed with in a Bond-like opener), writer-director Christopher McQuarrie maintains the uptick in M:I quality established by the last two entries, and should land this entry within the series' customary range of a half-billion bucks worldwide. Working with Tom Cruise for the fifth time (if you include his uncredited rewrite on the last M:I feature, Ghost Protocol), McQuarrie benefits dramatically from extending the IMF team's official ostracization to a point of total disenfranchisement from the American government; in an early scene, the CIA chief (Alec B...
