The Note 7 battery issue led Samsung to provide a mandatory software updatethat stopped the devices from charging beyond a certain percentage. The company also issued guidelines on how to check and be sure your Note 7 won’t explode.

Owners of these devices were asked to return them for replacement or compensation. To Samsung’s relief, most owners preferred a replacement instead of compensation. This was cheaper for Samsung and it brought back a smile to the frowned Samsung faces.

After weeks of the recall and fixes, Samsung finally started shipping back the devices. Some mobile carriers from around the world have already started receiving the replacement devices.

A few customers had also received their replacement devices and most reported them to be fine now.
