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.
