They will sell the phone in BRICS and EU where consumers are more risk tolerant. Still plenty of profit. Also, I suspect US consumers will buy directly from Samsung anyway as Note 7 is still the best phablet out there.

>>also hope it breaks the Samsung monopoly over Android and let brands like LG, HTC shine.

LG phones have bootloop issues. And HTC phones are overpriced.
