South Korean tech giant Samsung has urged owners of the Galaxy Note 7 to turn off its high-end smartphone while it investigates new reports of the device catching fire.

The firm also said it would stop all sales of the phone.

Samsung recalled 2.5 million phones in September after complaints of exploding batteries, and later insisted that all replaced devices were safe.

But there are now reports that even those phones were catching fire.

Samsung permanently cancels the Galaxy Note 7

Samsung now faces the task of collecting and disposing of the 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7s in the wild, and what must be at least hundreds of thousands of unsold phones in stores and warehouses. Estimates put the overall cost of the Note 7 debacle at $17 billion; the loss in consumer trust is unquantifiable, and will surely impact Samsung's next flagship phone, the Galaxy S8.
