When it will hit the US

Similarly those in US should be getting ready for an update set to be pushed on 16th of December, the software update will literally stop the Galaxy Note 7 from charging, thus rendering it useless, however users on the T-mobile units will be hit by the update on 27th of December

“Today, Samsung announced an update to the Galaxy Note7 that would stop the smartphone from charging, rendering it useless unless attached to a power charger. Verizon will not be taking part in this update because of the added risk this could pose to Galaxy Note7 users that do not have another device to switch to. We will not push a software upgrade that will eliminate the ability for the Note7 to work as a mobile device in the heart of the holiday travel season. We do not want to make it impossible to contact family, first responders or medical professionals in an emergency situation.” : T-mobile
