		</div><p>Samsung says shipments of its Galaxy Note 7 smartphones have been delayed for quality control testing, amid reports of exploding batteries.</p>
<p>A company official said the delay was caused by additional quality evaluation tests. Spokeswoman Sophia Kim denied media reports that Samsung had halted shipments of the flagship phone.</p>
<p>The move comes after reports in South Korea that some consumers claimed batteries in the jumbo smartphone exploded during charging. Yonhap News said five to six explosions had been reported.<br />
It is unusual for Samsung to confirm a delay in sales of a device.</p>
<p>Samsung launched the Galaxy Note 7 on August 19 in some markets including South Korea and the US. The phone features an iris scanner that lets users unlock the phone by detecting patterns in the eyes.</p>
<p>The spokeswoman said the delay affects the South Korean market only.<br />
Samsung said it is investigating reports of explosions after pictures of damaged phones were uploaded on local online communities, social media and YouTube.</p>
<p>The Galaxy Note 7 is the latest iteration of a series that features a giant screen and a stylus.</p>
<p>The smartphones are among the most expensive line-ups released by Samsung and usually inherit designs and features of the Galaxy S series that debuts in the spring.<br />
Even before the issue of battery explosions emerged, supplies were not keeping up with higher-than-expected demand.</p>
