Samsung halts production
of troubled Galaxy Note 7
South Korean firm urges users to turn
phone off immediately as analysts say
recall could cost company $17 billion.
Samsung has announced a total halt to 
production and a recall of its troubled 
Galaxy Note 7 smartphone, citing continued 
safety concerns over the device bursting 
into flames.
Analysts have said that the move could 
cost the world's top smartphone maker $17bn, 
a huge blow as it fights Apple for domination
of the market.
"We recently readjusted the production 
volume for thorough investigation and 
quality control, but putting consumer 
safety as top priority, we have reached a 
final decision to halt production of Galaxy 
Note 7s," the company said in a statement 
on Tuesday.
