Following the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco in 2016, Samsung bounced back with an impressive Galaxy S8 this year that has been praised for its design as well as performance. Now, a latest report from the Wall Street Journal states that Samsung is all set to sell refurbished Galaxy Note 7 next month.
The company is planning to release ‘Fandom Edition’ (FE) of the Galaxy Note 7 on July 7 in South Korea, said the report. The FE model will be a refurbished Note 7 with upgraded components. Currently, it is not clear if these phones will be available outside South Korea. The Galaxy Note 7 FE model will be a bit cheaper than the original Note 7. Samsung is expected to release at most 400,000 devices among three major telecom companies in South Korea. As per the WSJ report the phone will be priced below 700,000 South Korean won, which roughly translates to $613.
Samsung had permanently killed Galaxy Note 7 last year following reports that devices caught fire while charging.
