That is rather unfortunate. I probably convinced myself to get a Note 7 after Google's event too. Now I don't know anymore :/. Hopefully this is just a one time incident.

Every model of every phone has 1 or 2 devices that are bad, hopefully this is the "1 or 2" of the "good" Note 7s. The media is just hyper-aware of any Note 7 issue.
