Verizon and T-Mobile join the fray, allow customers to exchange their Galaxy Note 7 replacements
The phone caught fire on a plane a few days ago, which is almost unbelievable considering the fact that the IMEI with which it was tagged proves that it's a replacement Galaxy Note 7 phone, one that should pack a battery manufactured by a company other than Samsung SDI.
We reported earlier today that AT&T and Sprint have already confirmed that any customer who owns a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is more than welcome to swap it for another Samsung smartphone or one from another brand. It doesn't even matter it the phone it was already exchanged for a new, safe replacement.
This quite a blow for Samsung, as the South Korean company has just kicked off sales of Galaxy Note 7 in its home turf. Although we feel very sorry for Samsung and its latest flagship, it looks like we might witness a second Galaxy Note 7 recall. Let's just wait for Samsung's investigation to conclude though.
