Samsung has seen off a class action brought by Koreans burned-out by the need to return their flammable Galaxy Note 7 phablets.

The Note 7 infamously included a battery that Samsung required to have unusually high energy density and nestled it into a space that gave it no breathing room. The result was numerous fires, airlines refusing to carry the devices, a nasty blowtorching for Samsung's reputation and all sorts of fun for Reg writers as we risked a flame war by pursuing the hot story while holding Samsung's feet to the fire.
