Samsung wouldn't comment on what kind of quality testing, but there have been scattered reports that some Galaxy Note 7 batteries are exploding, according to the Korea Herald. A Samsung spokesperson was not available for additional comment.
It's unclear how many units are being delayed or how if current Note 7 phones, which went on sale earlier this month, will be affected.
