If this is true in reddit, it seems that Samsung's subsidiary in France will remotely disable all Galaxy Note 7 devices that are in circulation and will not be returned to the manufacturer until Friday September 30.
We currently do not know how Samsung will face recall in other areas, but the company is reportedly starting to send packets to all Galaxy Note 7 owners residing in France on Monday 19 September.
The package will include a Galaxy Note 7 replacement device, the latest Gear VR, and a prepaid envelope that should be used to return the defective device.
Judging by this revelation and one a recent Samsung Newsroom publication, it seems that the company is having a hard time convincing its customers to take part in the Exchange program. However, threatening to disable the devices will probably work better.
From an economic point of view, Samsung will have to finish immediately with the revocation or at least as soon as possible.
Analysts initially believed that this whole fiasco would cost the company about $1 billion, but after the recent intervention of the FAA that banned the use of the device on aircraft, the value of its price dropped. market against 10 billion.
UPDATE: Samsung denied reputation by saying that the company will not deactivate the Galaxy Note 7 that will not be returned until September 30, according to Android Central.
