Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 is set to return on the market in October after the company issued a global Note 7 recall. Yet, it seems that Samsung was able to fix the problem faster than expected.
After the widely reported "technical glitch" and recent "blow-ups" of the Galaxy Note 7, U.S. carriers such as Verizon and Sprint are reportedly already selling new models approved by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. T-Mobile and AT&T will start to put on the market the updated versions of the Note 7.
Samsung said that 25 percent of the previous buyers in the U.S. handed back their phones for trade for a safer version, according to their data. Samsung America will be handing 500,000 Note 7 units to the stores that need to replenish their stocks this week.
T-Mobile released a statement on its website, saying, "Please note that we can't help you transfer your data or contacts from your old phone to your replacement phone in the store. This is due to safety guidelines from the CPSC tied to the recall." Despite the recall and reformat of the Galaxy Note 7, Samsung can't help fixing and restoring the data stored.
According to Samsung Australia, another software update will be pushed in helping to maximize and support the batteries of the upgraded version of the Note 7. Samsung companies around the globe are helping each other to promote the updated Note 7.
Some consumers are scared that the same incident might happen again. To avoid any commotions, Verizon and Sprint are offering various colors and models of the phone, with same-day delivery showing up as an option for both retail and contract purchases at their stores' checkout stage. AT&T says they are prepared for sudden recall because they have new stocks in their inventories but their customers are ready to risk for their preferred Note 7 color.
September started bad for Samsung but it certainly won't end this month with failures and recalls.
