Samsung may recall the Galaxy Note 7 following exploding battery reports

If Samsung issues the recall, it would replace the battery in affected phones, the report says.
A Samsung spokesperson declined to 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.
