Samsung's latest Galaxy Note 7 is making headlines for all the wrong reasons which have led authorities of several countries including India to ban the use of the handset in flights. The South Korean consumer electronics giant has announced that the replacement stock for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will arrive country-wise starting this month and the first country to get the new stocks will be Australia, where it will be available beginning September 21.

Samsung in the meanwhile has revealed ways how you can check whether a Galaxy Note 7 is safe or not and it can be done through checking the label on the retail box. The company says that the new Note 7 packaging will sport a clear identification on the box which will have a small black square on the white barcode label along with a white sticker with a blue letter 'S'.
This will allow customers to check their Note 7 units for safety labelling once the replacement units will be available. The new labelling will also curb third-party retailers from selling the old stocked Galaxy Note 7 units. However, what if you receive a Galaxy Note 7 without a retail box (for whatever reason). The South Korean company has you covered there as well, and will also soon let customers cross-check if their Galaxy Note 7 unit is safe by entering an IMEI number via an online database.
