Samsung Will Replace Current Note7 with New One
news.samsung.comNote that there is a more recent statement from Samsung on the subject than the one this URL points to

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).
This is old news? e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12410692
That's not a statement from Samsung.
Over 2 million Note 7's were sold. Sounds like it's going to be an expensive process.
conservative estimate is at least a billion.
If only Apple were so forthcoming about their defective products..
