Seoul: Samsung Electronics recommended South Korean customers to stop using the new Galaxy Note 7 smartphones, which the company is recalling worldwide after several dozen of them caught fire.


In a statement posted on its website, the South Korean technology giant advised local users to visit the company's service centers to receive rental phones for temporary use.


Samsung plans to provide Galaxy Note 7 devices with new batteries in South Korea starting on September 19. “We again express our sincere apologies to our customers who value our products,” the company said in a statement.
