• In India, the company was lucky enough not to have released the device. The official press release of the company states, "In response to recent cases reported globally of the new Galaxy Note7, we conducted a thorough investigation and found a battery cell issue. As our customers' safety is an absolute priority at Samsung, we have delayed the sales of Galaxy Note7 in India"

This fix will restraint the battery capacity to 60 percent, which Samsung claims, will reduce the chance of any blast or any mishap with the phones battery.

• The company has strongly advised Note 7 owners to return the phone to customer service centers and owners have also been requested to keep the phones shut until then.

• Numerous airlines and aviation regulators have prohibited Galaxy Note 7 inside flights.
