Samsung Note 7

Me and my family went to Hong Kong last week, before boarding I was holding my mobile the airport personnel approached me and asked if my phone is a Note 7 so I said it's a Note 5. Apparently, they're not allowing Note 7 on board because of the "spontaneous bursting into flames" issue of the unit.

Here's why Samsung Note 7 phones are catching fire

    I'm surprised if there are even any note 7s left out in the wild

  • There are a lot of people out there with note 7s because providers are not taking them back.
    I got one from vodafone. Phoned up customer support many times about returning it.
    Get told they have a team who will be in touch. And i have to wait.
    To date no one has been in touch,
    Phoned samsung who say i have to contact vodafone.
    So not as many people are choosing to keep them, Just can’t return.

    Samsung are due to send out a service update OTA that restricts battery/ charging to about 60% .
