Samsung Will Replace Current Note7 with New One (news.samsung.com)

This is old news? e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12410692

Over 2 million Note 7's were sold. Sounds like it's going to be an expensive process.

I hope they add some visual element to distinguish the old and the new version. Otherwise they'll annoy both organisations that banned the phones (mostly airlines) because they won't be sure which one's safe, and the customers because they will be constantly asked which one is it (or just asked not to use it regardless).

If only Apple were so forthcoming about their defective products..

Note that there is a more recent statement from Samsung on the subject than the one this URL points to
