Samsung is looking like it is about to wipe out all of their Galaxy Note 7 in South Korea on December 29 based on a statement their spokesperson has given to the press. There are still 140,000 units that are out there whose owners are waiting for what the company has to say on what should they do about it.

In an article published by GSM Arena, Samsung is looking like it is about to change its mind regarding the remaining units left when just a week ago, they made a press release saying they won't completely kill those phones. Now, the company just made a new statement saying they are thinking of pushing the software update in Korea, which would allow the battery charging to be limited to 60 percent.

The problem is that Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in Korea already went ahead with their preemptive update, which means they are done with the battery charging capping to that level. If another update is to be made and another capping has to be done, it only means that it is going to hit the limit and would blow up anyway. Experts are saying that at this point, it is rather safe to just kill the device before it is too late that it causes harm to anyone owning it.

After all this issue with their Samsung Galaxy Note 7, the company is finding it hard to win back their customers trust. CNET said that it is now Samsung's goal this 2017 to prove to their users that they are still safe and their products are still impeccable. Consumers are finding it hard to believe now, especially when they can't even address why their phones are blowing up like that. Samsung made a statement that they are currently investigating the reason behind the issues of their Galaxy Note 7.
