Australian carriers Qantas and Virgin Australia told its passengers not to use or charge Samsung`s Galaxy Note 7 during flights.
Samsung recalled its Galaxy Note 7 smartphones after finding some of their batteries exploded or caught fire.
Samsung, the world’s largest smartphone maker, said last week it was suspending sales of its latest flagship mobile device and recalling 2.5 million units shipped globally following reports of exploding phablets that dealt a heavy blow to the firm’s reputation. Samsung has sold 2.5 million of the premium devices so far.
