I am from South Korea. There were numerous reports from people on Facebook or other social media that Note 7 replacements were also having battery problems, but Samsung have been trying hard to control Korean newspapers to report them as false reports from "black consumers". It's ridiculous to see how they can manipulate media as they want. I'm glad that Samsung does not have such power outside South Korea.

What do you mean by "black consumers"? Are those supposed to be people who want to discredit the company or actual black people?

> In Korea, black consumers refer to those who dishonestly seeking reparations for what they allege are faulty goods.

Thanks for the clarification :)
