If you have been wondering what the mystery is all about, it’s all about the infamous Galaxy Note 7. Yes. Samsung is bringing back the Galaxy Note 7 and this time it will be the “refurbished” version of the disastrous Galaxy Note 7. The leaked images reveal the Galaxy Note 7 having a large “R” – to stand for “refurbished” units – printed on the back.
The new refurbished Galaxy Note 7 smartphones will be released in South Korea before the Galaxy Note 8 becomes available in stores this summer. The refurbished Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is expected to ship with 3,200mAh battery, which is smaller than the earlier 3,500mAh battery that Galaxy Note 7 boasted of. Apart from battery size down, the refurbished device is also expected to see a price cut – down 30pc compared to what Galaxy Note 7 was priced. The refurbished Galaxy Note 7 is expected to come with 4GB RAM, 64GB internal memory and will be powered by Exynos 8890 processor.
The device has been spotted in a few Chinese stores by the name ‘Samsung Galaxy Note 7R’. But there has been no official announcement from Samsung about which markets will see the launch. Galaxy Note 7 explosions caused a major embarrassment for the Korean giant. The exploding Note 7 phones had damaged Samsung’s reputation and caused trust issues among consumers – so much so that the company had to officially announce that Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are safe to use.
