Samsung is considering a recall for its latest smartphone, the Galaxy Note 7, following reports of battery explosions, according to a report in The Korea Herald.
If Samsung issues the recall, it would replace the battery in affected phones, the report says.
Samsung did not respond to requests for comment.
On Wednesday, Samsung said it was delaying shipments of the Note 7 for "quality" testing, but it didn't say specifically what the issues were with the phone.
Still, there have been several reports bubbling around the internet that some Note 7 users experienced battery explosions while charging.
The Galaxy Note 7 launched in August to glowing reviews. But investors are not reacting well to the news of the shipment delays, and the company has lost about $7 billion in market value this week.
For what it's worth, we've had a Galaxy Note 7 in the office for a few weeks and haven't experienced any explosions or overheating.
