Samsung will have enough Galaxy Note 7 phones in stores tomorrow to replace half of the devices recalled for a battery problem. Stores will have replacements for the rest of the affected phones by Samsung's battery problem by the end of the month.
The South Korean company on yesterday said 500,000 replacement devices have arrived in the US and have been shipped to carrier and retail stores. About 1 million Note 7 units had been recalled in the country.
"New devices will be in stores no later than tomorrow and we will continue to take the necessary actions to ensure users are powering down and immediately exchanging recalled devices," Tim Baxter, president of Samsung Electronics America, said in a statement.
The company also said about 25 percent of Note 7 owners in the US have exchanged their devices,up from 13 percent last week when Samsung started making replacements available.
It added that the "vast majority" of people exchanging their Note 7 phones have opted for another Samsung Galaxy smartphone rather than a refund.
Samsung launched its Galaxy Note 7 phablet in late August to much fanfare and overall favorable reviews, but some devices overheated and , caught fire and exploded. Samsung attributed the problem to a "battery cell issue" and stopped selling the device on September 2 when they started the recall process.
A software update being sent to Note 7 devices will warn users every time they turn on the phone or power it that they need to exchange the device for one with a safe battery.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission on Thursday issued an official recall for all Note 7 phones sold in the country before September 15. The group said "consumers should immediately stop using and power down the recalled Galaxy Note 7 devices" and contact the location where they purchased the devices to either get a new Note 7, a refund or a replacement device. The CPSC's notice made it illegal to attempt to sell or resell one of the recalled Note 7 phones.
The new phones will be accompanied by a software update that, when installed on one of the new devices, shows a green battery icon on the top right of the phone's screen to let users know the device is indeed the new one with an unaffected battery.
Samsung also plans to push out a software update to all recalled devices to make sure Note 7 users trade in their devices saftley. Once installed, users will be prompted with a safety notice that urges owners to power down and exchange their recalled device . The notice will appear every time a user powers up or charges their device.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge : Two Months Later Our review of the Galaxy S7 Edge has been up for a little while now, and having used the device for a solid month at this point, I feel as if I should share my final take on the device before I get something else in my hands. Unsurprisingly to many, I’m sure, the Galaxy S7 Edge is still my vote for the top device released so far in 2016. It’s pretty early in the year after all, but from what I have seen thus far, I don’t think the LG G5 or HTC 10 have what it takes to overcome everything the Galaxy S7 Edge offers. Over the course of this month, I have been very happy with the phone’s overall performance, and thanks to an update that recently came from T-Mobile and Samsung (I have an unbranded T-Mobile variant), my battery life has even gotten better from what I experienced during my review period. While I was usually hitting the hay with about 10-15% of juice left at the end of each day, I am easily seeing 30-35...
Samsung Galaxy S7 What is the Samsung Galaxy S7? If you’re on the hunt for an Android phone right now, the Samsung Galaxy S7 should be very close to the top of your list. Even though the competition from the HTC 10 , LG G5 and the upcoming Note 7) is strong, the S7 is the Korean company’s best phone yet. 1)Samsung Galaxy S7 – Design After the massive, and much needed, change in design direction Samsung took with the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge in 2015, all rumours pointed to things staying pretty much the same for the Galaxy S7. Well, it’s not like Apple, HTC or Sony make drastic changes to their industrial design every year. And that’s exactly the case here. Place the Galaxy S7 next to the S6 and you’d be hard pushed to instantly pick which one is which. Frankly, this doesn’t bother me in the slightest. The S6 was already one of the best-looking phones around, and the Galaxy S7 follows suit. Both...
HUAWEI HONOR 8 REVIEW It may seem odd that, mere months after the debut of Huawei’s top-of-the-line P9 handset, the Chinese smartphone maker has essentially repurposed its flagship phone’s hardware for a handset that costs half the price. But that’s just what Huawei has done. At a hardware level, the Honor 8 is nearly indistinguishable from its pricier predecessor. Huawei may have been spurred by tough competition like the ZTE Axon 7,OnePlus 3, Alcatel’s Idol 4S, and Lenovo’s Moto Z. The company seems eager to prove it can compete handily in the flagship killer space. The Honor brand is a juggernaut overseas, with 40 million phone shipments in 2015, and Huawei wants to replicate that success in the United States. Huawei put its best foot forward with the Honor 8. It is a jewel-encrusted brooch of a smartphone with an outer finish unlike any we’ve ever seen. And it has the hardware to match. It’s a heck of a package. Specifications are all well and good,...
