Samsung has halted production of its flagship Galaxy Note 7 over concerns about the smartphone's safety, according to reports.
Yonhap News Agency quoted the company's chief executive saying production would be stopped temporarily.
The news comes after American telco AT&T Inc announced it would stop all sales of the Note 7.
"Based on recent reports, we're no longer exchanging new Note 7s at this time, pending further investigation of these reported incidents," AT&T spokesman Fletcher Cook said in an e-mailed statement on Sunday.
"We still encourage customers with a recalled Note 7 to visit an AT&T location to exchange that device for another Samsung smartphone or other smartphone of their choice."
