140 thousand units of the Galaxy Note 7 are still active in Korea … – Tecmundo

Although Samsung has "thrown in the towel" and collected more than 90% of the units of the Galaxy Note 7 sold around the world, the company still faces problems in his homeland. In South Korea, only 85% of the gadgets sold back in the hands of the company, which means that there are still at least 140 thousand copies of the product that is currently being used.

While in the other countries of the world, the manufacturer cut off the access of the smartphones to cellular networks and limited his ability to recharge, the same should not be done in Korea. If she decide to do this, analysts predict that the negative response generated by such actions would be able to cause considerable damage to its image — already impaired by the various explosions reported.

At the moment, the only solution found by Samsung is to expand the daylight length of his plan of return, which provides for the return of the money invested in him and the possibility of acquiring other products with discounts. The company is currently negotiating with the operators of the country to decide which will be the maximum period for which consumers can take advantage of the program.
