Will the Note 7 now only be available with the 60% max charge limit?

Hi

I simply ask t because I keep getting conflicting responses. I assuming this is not the case as Samsung might as withdraw; what appears a really solid phone, despite the adverse press surrounding those batteries.

No, all replacement devices with the green battery icon fully charge.
It's only the potential time bombs that have been restricted.

That is the answer I was hoping for.  As my Note4: 2 year subscription comes to the end on December 24th, I am hoping that O2 have some incentive deals for me to move to the Note 7 at bit ealier.

I hear they are offering free fire extinguishers with them

According to this article, even the new ones may be potential time bombs. Doesn't appear as if the nightmare for Samsung is over with this yet.

Surely they barcode the batteries and reference the supplier batches to determine the faulty ones .. How dificult can this be?

Lots of "if, buts and maybe's" in that report.

According to the report, Renjie bought his device from online retailer JD, however it caught fire less than 24 hours after it was delivered. Of course, it remains to be seen how severe the issue really is — it is not exactly known yet whether the device was a newly built phone, or a device that just was not removed from the supply chain.

I'm just passing on what I've seen. I think Samsung are a good company, and they have made some great phones, but if this continues, or even if the speculation continues that there's a problem with this phone, it will not only hurt sales of the Note 7, but also Samsung's reputation in general.
