In an update to its Galaxy Note7 recall, Samsung announced that more than 500,000 new replacement devices would be available for exchange at U.S. retail outlets on Wednesday.

The company also announced the rollout of a software update that will display a green battery icon on the screens of new Note7 devices to distinguish them from those subject to recall.
"Working hand in hand with the CPSC, we are delivering as promised and moving quickly to educate consumers about the recall and make new Note7s available," said Tim Baxter, president of Samsung Electronics America.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission late last week issued a recall of 1 million Galaxy Note7 phones. Samsung previously had initiated a global recall effort, following reports that more than 90 phones had overheated -- some exploding and some erupting into flames -- due to a lithium-ion battery flaw.
