Samsung's Galaxy Note7 continues to be Watch Actresses' Survival Skills Onlinethe company's worst nightmare.
Reports of phone's exploding due to faulty batteries, including one that reportedly incinerated a Jeep and another that reportedly injured a 6-year-old boy, have brought to light the extreme severity of the situation.
SEE ALSO: Here's where the Note7 disaster will hurt Samsung mostWhile Samsung has urged Note7 owners to replace them through its exchange programs -- albeit not without issues from wireless carriers -- and has worked with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to officially recall the (literally) explosive devices, the Korean electronics giant is planning to take another preventive measure to protect device owners.
According to AP tech writer Youkyung Lee, Samsung plans to release a software update in South Korea for the Note7 that will limit its charging to 60 percent to prevent overheating from overcharging. The company is reportedly working with South Korea mobile carriers to push the update out as well.
Samsung announced the update with a front-page advertisement on the Seoul Shinmun, a South Korean newspaper.
According to Lee, the update will be primarily aimed at Note7 users who have not heeded the soft recalls and replacement programs. It's unclear if the update will be a mandatory one.
The report doesn't detail if regions outside of South Korea will get the charge-limiting software update. Mashable has reached out to Samsung U.S. for comment on the matter and will update this story if we get a reply.
Samsung is reportedly recalling up to 2.5 million faulty Note7 phones that could cost up to $1 billion.
