Multiple reports of the Galaxy Note 7 exploding have come in ever since the recall was announced. Even Samsung has advised users to power down the Galaxy Note 7 and take part in its exchange program so that they can be given a unit which doesn't have a faulty battery. Apteligent – an app intelligence solution which keeps an eye on global app metrics on multiple mobile platforms – finds that the usage rate of the phone is almost exactly the same now since before the recall was announced. It appears that most people are not worried about the same happening to them but the fact remains that this can happen unexpectedly to anyone.
If you do own a Galaxy Note 7, power it down and take part in the exchange program. Samsung is handing out Galaxy J series handsets as loaner devices when you turn in your unit so that you remain connected until replacement inventory arrives and you get your hands on a Galaxy Note 7 which doesn't have a faulty battery.
