Not millions, billions.
This will cost them $2b of the $7b profit they'll earn in the third quarter. If AMD lost $2b it would be "brutal", for Samsung it's not nearly as big of a deal.

In any case, our Note 5s and S7 aren't catching fire, and I still think Samsung makes the best phones. (and have a lot of company) However; we loved our G2s and G3s as well and personally I'd probably be just as happy with the G4.
I think LG makes REALLY nice phones, and because they're the market follower rather than leader you can get them dirt cheap often. (so they're a better buy by far sometimes)
