The Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS) said in an emailed statement Tuesday, it is investigating the possibility the Note 7 smartphones may have a new defect. Samsung is asking owners of its fire-prone Galaxy Note 7 to do something crazy: “power down and stop using the device.”

In an age when smartphones have become extensions of ourselves, the last thing we look at before falling asleep and the first thing we grab in the morning, this is all but unthinkable, even at the dinner table, even on the toilet. However, concerns were raised over further defects beyond the battery cell, following several reports in the US of phones catching fire that showed the green battery icon Samsung added to replacement phones to mark them as safe.
Samsung recalls and suspends production of its reformulated-version of Galaxy Note 7 smartphone due to the same persistent problem with battery fires and explosions.
