Samsung has postponed the Galaxy Note 7 Nigeria launch

This is probably not surprising news, but Samsung has delayed the launch of the Galaxy Note 7 in Nigeria. The Note 7 launched in New York in August and was set to launch in Nigeria early this month, but there was that curious case of the exploding battery(s) and Samsung had to recall all Note 7 phones worldwide.

In a post on their Instagram page, Samsung advised all Note 7 owners in Nigeria to go to Samsung Service Centres for assistance on replacement programs. The phone hasn’t been released in Nigeria yet, but all Note 7 phones can be replaced no matter where they were bought.

Here’s the IG post –
