While 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.

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.
