Samsung makes three major software changes to ensure safety of new device.
Samsung's
Galaxy Note 7 is available for purchase again, the company has
announced. The sales commenced on 1 October in South Korea, and other
regions across the globe will see the re-launch of the device in the
coming weeks.
The resumption of sales comes after a successful replacement programme, which saw strong consumer response with many exchanging the older Note 7 with a new brand new one or other Galaxy handsets.
For the re-launch in its native land, Samsung opened Galaxy Note 7 experience zones in a number of locations on 30 September.
"Along
with the several other experience zones showcasing Samsung's latest
product, guests have crowded our Galaxy Note 7 experience zone since
this morning," said Junghyun Kim, manager of the Seoul-based Samsung
D'light shop in a statement.
"We
found that many people are excited to check out the iris scanner, the
new S Pen features, such as S Translator, and the camera. Many existing
Galaxy Note7 users have already visited and exchanged their phones for a
new Galaxy Note7 or other Galaxy device, and more and more people are
inquiring about purchasing the Galaxy Note7," added Kim.
To ensure
safety, Samsung said it has implemented three specific software
changes. The new Notes now feature a green battery icon located on the
status bar, Always On Display screen and the power off prompt screen,
which can be accessed by long pressing the power key. Additionally,
users can check if they are using the latest Note by a square symbol on
the phone's packaging.
"As
the company introduces new Galaxy Note 7 devices to the market, Samsung
continues to strongly encourage all Galaxy Note 7 users who have not
yet participated in the exchange programme to immediately do so by
contacting their place of purchase or calling a designated local call
center as soon as possible," the company said.
