Samsung is recalling Galaxy Note 7, and we are collecting handsets in cooperation with distributors around the world. In the US, guidance by the Federal Aviation Administration is prohibiting the carry-in of Galaxy Note 7 in the cabin, but Samsung is trying to improve the collection rate by installing a collection station of Galaxy Note 7 at the airport. However, some users do not respond to recalls as "Your Note 7 is working without problems".


As a countermeasure to users who do not respond to such recalls, measures have been taken to prevent access to mobile networks by blocking access from Galaxy Note 7 in New Zealand already. Samsung will perform an update that makes Galaxy Note 7 useless for users who do not accept recall, as it is possible that carrying around Galaxy Note 7, which is at risk of ignition, may cause danger not only to himself or herself It seems to have decided to. According to The Korea Herald, the update is scheduled to be held in March.
