Samsung will commence a software upgrade next week to limit the battery charging cap of Galaxy Note 7 to 60 percent following more reports of explosions.
The Over-the-Air (OTA) software upgrade will commence on September 20, 10 am in South Korea.
Samsung is in talks with telcos from nine other countries where the phablet is available to deploy a similar software upgrade.
Galaxy Note 7 has a battery capacity of 3,500 mAh, but the forced upgrade will enforce it to 2,100 mAh.
