Following its decision yesterday to put an end to production of the Galaxy Note 7 follow reports of replacements catching fire, Samsung has today announced that it has extended its recall of the handset in Australia for those with either an original or ‘safe' model.

Customers in the region who are in possession of a Galaxy Note 7 are instructed to back-up their data, complete a factory reset and power down their device immediately. They should then contact their original place of purchase to arrange a return.

Samsung has revealed that it's working with all operators and retail partners to ensure that all customers can receive an exchange for a Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge (including a refund for the price difference) or a full refund for their Galaxy Note 7.
