Report: Samsung is ‘temporarily’ suspending production on the Galaxy Note 7

Since the launch of the Note 7, Samsung has been plagued with countless issues involving the handset.

CNBC has received a report from South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency which states that Samsung is now temporarily suspending production of the handset. This comes just hours after AT&T and T-Mobile both halted sales of the Galaxy Note 7.

According to Yonhap’s unnamed source at a Samsung supplier, this production suspension is in conjunction with consumer safety agencies from the United States, China, and Samsung’s home country of South Korea. The source stated the following:

This measure includes a Samsung plant in Vietnam that is responsible for global shipments (of the Galaxy Note 7)

Samsung has yet to officially comment on this report.
