Samsung Galaxy Note 7 recall

As you may know Samsung has now officially recalled all Galaxy Note 7 sold here in Australia. This is part of a global recall of the device after it was reported that there were a number of cases where the battery would overheat when charging and explode. See Samsung's official recall notice for device here.

If you have the device it is recommended  that you return it to where you purchased it from.

This could not come at a worse time for Samsung as Apple is just days away from announcing the expected iPhone 7.

This case highlights the needs for companies to properly test their devices before they go on sale.
