The issues Samsung has been having with the Galaxy Note 7 is certainly not a secret here in the United States. We've watched as the company launched a voluntary recall program for the device. Then they tried to bring enough replacements into the country so they could restart sales. But only to find out that the new shipments of the Note 7 were also having the same issue as the first batch.
During this time the FAA has made it a federal crime to bring the smartphone onto a plane, and threatens a fine of up to $179,933 and up to ten years in prison too. The issue is so bad that Samsung has even come out and said they will not attempt to refurbish the returned units and will simply find a way to "dispose" of them in an environmentally=friendly way. It's clear to most people that the Galaxy Note 7 is not a safe smartphone and that makes this new information so shocking to hear.
A Korean Galaxy Note 7 customer from the /r/Android subreddit has shown that the Galaxy Note 7 recall in South Korea is entirely optional. The person says the average person in South Korea does not know about the issues that Samsung has been having with it all over the world. Then continues to say they're still seeing the smartphone in the hands of so many people while they're riding the bus.
They tell us that they were told by both Samsung as well as the wireless carrier KT Telecom that the Galaxy Note 7 they own is perfectly fine to keep. There is still a replacement program in effect within the country, and they also have a rental service for those who are waiting for the Note 7 to be replaced, but again, they stress that it is only in place for those who "want" it.
