In case you haven't heard, Samsung has announced an unprecedented recall for Galaxy Note 7, after a few isolated cases of the device exploding while charging battery.
The company was initially accused of not cooperating with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, but has now begun the formal revocation process in partnership with the government.
If you have a Galaxy Note 7 device or plan to buy some news, you will obviously have a few questions about your security.
Let's see how you can find out if the device you have or intend to get belongs to the "explosive" series of Samsung.
First way out of the packing box
The easiest way is to check the packaging box of the device. New devices can be identified by a circular sticker that reads a blue "S." There is also a small black box in the lower right corner of the barcode sticker, as a back up ID.
Second way from the phone itself
But let's say you do not have the packing box for some reason. Samsung creates a database where customers can verify using their IMEI / MEID device if their device comes from a secure batch.
Your IMEI is in the barcode in the box, but you can also see it from the device itself in three different ways:
1. Of the Settings – General management – Status – IMEI information or
2. Type * # 06 # or
3. Find a way to see the attenuated text at the bottom of your device's back.
You can then check from the database when it is available next week.
