Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has\u00a0been banned from Dubai Airports with immediate effect.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The device has been in the news for a while now because of its unexplained fires and overheating problems. And now with this new ban, we don’t see the point of those hoardings on Sheikh Zayed Road. If you\u2019re someone who likes to own a phone you can’t travel with then that’s another story, but otherwise do you, like us, believe those ads should be taken down? For the simple reason: how many people\u00a0can you persuade\u00a0to\u00a0buy a product like that? (Sincere apologies to Samsung fans – we’re just sharing our thoughts.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Passengers travelling from Dubai International or Dubai World Central won’t be able to take the device\u00a0with them irrespective of how they carry it – in\u00a0hand, in their cabin bag or checked-in luggage. Airlines such as Emirates, FlyDubai and Etihad have also banned the smartphones.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

You can ignore this article\u00a0and carry it to the airport if you like, but do keep in mind your phone will be confiscated before boarding.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Due to advisories from regulatory bodies and concerns from Samsung, the #GalaxyNote7<\/a> is prohibited by all airlines flying from DXB and DWC<\/p>\n
