27 April 2017
For now, only Korean units are receiving it, but we assume it will spread across the world in the coming days.

            This reminds me of the problem the Nokia Lumia 930 had with the color tint issue and after 2 updates you had to change the display anyway

              Why keep advertising Apple by making the old and boring gag that Samsung phones explode? One Samsung phone design had problems... Samsung made a hell of a lot of them which did not. Statistics say that it is unlikely that this one will explode too. Why not call all iPhone's bendy? Why not make a joke about all iPhones needing a rubber band? I don't own a Samsung (I go for cheap mid-range Chinese phones as they are better value) the level of abuse Samsung is getting over the exploding phone is unfair. What was interesting about that scandal was that people were insisting on keeping the phone because they still liked it and considered them worth the risk,

I know this is bad but this is escalating rather quickly ?

                    After the update it will turn green lol..oh Samsung what a fail lol

                      Hopefully this is not a hardware issue, cause it'll be very difficult for them to again get the trust from their consumer, especially when the note 7 fiasco is still alive.

                                    I thought every phone will be boot up at least once to check if it functional before selling it to customer. They will spot it before it go on sell.

                                      Have anybody tried to take a photo and see how the colour in PC? I'm worried that Samsung only changed the RGB Colour. I Still haven't got the update.
