NOW that Samsung Electronics Co's recall of the explosion-prone Galaxy Note 7 smartphone is official in the US, the company can start focusing on the tough job of restoring public trust.

With that hurdle out of the way and replacement phones set to start shipping within days, the Suwon, South Korea-based company now needs to manage the fallout.
