BBC reports that Airline passengers have been warned by US authorities not to switch on or charge their Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones when on board the plane.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) also advised against packing the phones into any checked-in luggage.

Samsung recalled the phone last week after reports emerged of the device exploding during or after charging.

Qantas and Virgin Australia have also told customers not to charge or use the phone during flights.

Samsung said it would speed up shipments of replacement Galaxy Note 7 phones to ease safety concerns.

Earlier this week, US TV channel Fox 10 reported claims that a faulty Galaxy Note 7 had set fire to a family's Jeep.

The issue here is a faulty cell in the battery which wasn't even made by Samsung , that's what causes the explosion... Samsung has recorded just 35 cases of explosion out of the millions of Note 7 they've sold worldwide and still they called back all Note 7s... It's obvious they are after customer satisfaction and providing high quality services...

For iPhone users, they are loving it as the mocking of the Note 7 keeps bubbling, let's wait and see what your overly hyped 2013 iPhone 7 will bring with it, maybe Electrocution when used near/in water. And thank God no Sammy flagship has ever Dobale !!!
