Recalled Galaxy Note 7 units in the UK are now being replaced by Samsung, which says its highest priority is "the safety of our consumers." Under the company's Galaxy Note 7 Exchange Program, consumers can hand over their potentially dangerous unit and receive a better one.

The battery issue, which has been connected to hundreds of incidents globally, is "completely resolved" in the new batch of Note 7 units. Those units will head out to people in the UK this week.

Exchanges are being handled by both UK mobile operators and Samsung itself.
