Samsung Spain reminds everyone about the Note 7 by handing out free Note 8 devices on a plane

All said, Samsung has done a pretty good job putting the Note 7 behind it. After the phablet became one of the biggest consumer electronics disasters in recent memory, the company invited third-party safety groups to investigate, instituted a rigorous eight-point safety check for future phones and promised to do better at several subsequent press conferences.
When the Note 8 arrived early this year, consumers seemed to have moved on from whole debacle. By all accounts, the handset sold swiftly, with the company calling it its “most success” launch to date. So, naturally, one of the company’s international divisions would like to remind of the months-long headache with a bit of tongue in cheek promotion.
