Samsung’s Take on Disabling The Galaxy Note 7: Update Release Confirmed To Turn Remaining Units Into Bricks [VIDEO]

It looks like Samsung is really determined to shut down the remaining Galaxy Note 7 units in the United States. Stubborn customers who refused to send back their recalled Galaxy Note 7 smartphones and have them replaced with another Samsung device are the main targets of this new update, one that will permanently disable their units.

The update that Samsung will be rolling out for all remaining Galaxy Note 7 units in a few days will stop the devices from charging, successfully turning these smartphones into bricks as soon as their batteries' remaining power run out. A previous report also mentioned that it will be rolled out on Dec. 15; however, Samsung just reconfirmed it and announced that the roll out will be released on Dec. 19.

In the same report, an image of an alert received by a Galaxy Note 7 user who was a subscriber of US Cellular was seen. The alert stated that Samsung will alter the software for the Galaxy Note 7, making it completely unchargeable. The message also showed that the phone will no longer work as well --- confirming that once the remaining battery power runs out, users wouldn't be able to recharge the Galaxy Note 7 and use it, according to TECH TIMES.

The webpage made under Samsung's official website for the Galaxy Note 7 recall program had an astonishing participation of users so far, 93 percent of all recalled Galaxy Note 7 units in the US has now been returned. But even if Samsung initiated to stop the Galaxy Note 7 units from charging ever again, they are still looking forward to get all remaining units and complete the provocative device's recall --- at about 133,000 units still out there.

On the same note, Samsung Canada has recently announced that it will cut off the carrier connectivity to all Galaxy Note 7 units still functioning in the country on Dec. 15.
