Things might be looking up for Samsung — you know, after the whole "phones randomly exploding" debacle last year.

Yonhap News Agency reports a court in South Korea has ruled in favor of the tech company in a class-action lawsuit filed by consumers.

According to the outlet, the suit alleged recalls of the Galaxy Note 7 caused various inconveniences to some consumers and sought around $822,000 in compensation. 

Reminder: Samsung had to recall millions of Galaxy Note 7s after the phones started bursting into flames.
