Samsung recently announced a global Galaxy Note 7 recall, following the battery issues the Note 7 suffered with. The company recalled over 2.5 million handsets.
Samsung has now stated that the replacement Note 7 will start arriving on September 21 to Australia. While few European countries will see the first shipment of safe Note 7’ on September 19.
A Reddit user posted a picture with an apology letter from Samsung that also contained a list of locations where faulty Note 7 units can be dropped off.
The image of the new retail box comes with a black square box instead of a blue S letter in a white circle, indicating that it’s a part of the safe Note 7 batch.
Samsung also recently announced that 130,000 Galaxy Note 7 units from all over the world have been replaced. Around 21,953 Galaxy Note 7 units were sold in Canada until September 1, when the company announced the recall.
The company is already working with the CPSC in the US on the exchange program, and Note 7 owners can get a loaner phone until their safe Galaxy Note 7 units arrive or request a full refund.
