Samsung begins to deliver the new Galaxy Note 7 after the ignition cases



The company suffered a severe blow after registering dozens of cases in which the battery of the terminal came to burn by overheating



   Samsung Electronics has begun to deliver in several countries new Galaxy Note 7 terminals to users who decided to change them after the call to review around the world after registering several cases of ignition. "The exchange program has started this day and is developing smoothly," said a spokesman for the technology company based in Seoul.

The spokesman said that in Spain will also begin to deliver on Monday the first devices to customers, while in Mexico and other countries in Latin America will have to wait until the 30th of this month.

   Note 7 users who delivered their old terminal will receive a new phone of the same model and color in the next few days, unless they have requested a refund of the amount in their place. The exchange in South Korea and Spain comes 17 days after the company announced the call for review, while in Canada and Singapore it already started last week, and in the next few days it will be in the rest of the world.

Battery in green to differentiate

The new Galaxy Note 7 that are being delivered to consumers have the battery indicator in green to differentiate from the first version. Of the more than 2.5 million Note 7 marketed worldwide since August 19, some 400,000 were sold in South Korea and one million in the US.

In the United States, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on Friday ordered the withdrawal of one million units of the "phablet" due to the risk that their batteries overheat and burn.

When last September 2 Samsung removed the Note 7 from the market and called it for review, it recognized 35 documented cases worldwide of terminals that burned during charging due to defective batteries. For its part, the US federal agency said on Friday that Samsung has received 92 reports of overheating of batteries, including 26 of burns and 55 of property damage in this country alone.
