In a short update, Samsung today announced that nearly 85 percent of Galaxy Note 7 owners in the United States have replaced their device through the company’s refund and exchange program. It notes that the majority of Note 7 owners went for another Samsung smartphone only.
The Korean company is still focused on collecting the remaining 15 percent Note 7 units out there in the US. To speed up the process, the company will be rolling out a software update for the Note 7 in the coming days that will limit its battery charge to 60 percent. Post the update, a pop-up a reminder will also start showing up for remaining Note 7 customers to get the device exchanged from Samsung whenever they turn the screen on, put the device on charge or reboot it.
T-Mobile has already announced that it will roll out this software update for the remaining Note 7 owners on its network from November 5. It is likely that other major U.S. carriers will also follow suit.
