on a flight and the flight attendants literally went seat to seat making sure people weren't charging a note 7, then it was announced that people were seeing a "galaxy 7" wifi option and it should be shut down immediately. third and final announcement referred to the device in question as a "galaxy 7 phone or tablet or whatever"
