Samsung Malaysia will be offering a full refund on the discontinued Galaxy Note 7. Alternatively, the customer can also swap the device for a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge in the event that they would rather have a replacement device.
The return and replacement programme is set to begin tomorrow, with Samsung Customer Service, telcos, and retail partners directly contacting customers to provide details on how to go about with the exchange programme.
Samsung Malaysia has also advised Galaxy Note 7 owners to power down their devices immediately. Which is the same advice provided by the company global HQ when it announced the discontinuing of the Galaxy Note 7 line.
We’ve included the entire statement from Samsung Malaysia below.
