Depending on how you look at it, the Galaxy Note 7 is either a very good phone with one very bad problem or a very bad hand grenade with one very good problem.

Most Note 7 owners will trade in their devices for similar, slightly less explode-y smartphones, but the only way to truly be safe from spontaneous combustion is to cash out—a hot $849.99 to $879.99, depending on your carrier—and buy something without a giant lithium battery. With that in mind, Gizmodo Nights has put together this helpful buyers’ guide for any Samsung customers hoping to adopt an explosion-free lifestyle.
