Samsung Galaxy Note 7 comes back from the dead

Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus is anticipated to be revealed on March 29 and expected to be on sale this mid-April.

It’s also worth mentioning that per the reports, the refurbished Galaxy Note 7 is likely to be ready by May and will start hitting the market in June, following the completion of manufacturing by the involved divisions. However, that function now works on just one Windows 10 device, Samsung’s own Galaxy Tab Pro S tablet.

According to South Korea’s Naver (Google Translate), Samsung will be releasing “refurbished” Galaxy Note 7 models that feature smaller batteries.

If true, we expect plenty of consumers to be interested in an officially refurbished Galaxy Note 7 at a discounted rate, especially coming straight from Samsung.

Since the smartphone doesn’t come with a Home button in the front, Samsung was forced to put it on the back side. While it remains highly unlikely the device would make a comeback to USA and European markets following ban regulations, it could retail in India and Vietnam.

In the Galaxy Note 7 battery investigation, it was found that the explosions happened because of the way battery was embedded into the device.

Notably, Samsung suffered losses of around $5.2 million in recalling the Note 7 units. But the company never said what it planned to do with the huge pile of brand new and briefly used Galaxy Note 7 units that it collected from all over the world when it recalled the failed phone.

That said, the phone was a brilliant piece of design and engineering and if it wasn’t for the battery, would have propelled Samsung’s mobile division to new heights of profitability.

We didn’t get a ton of truly great smartphones a year ago outside of options like the Huawei Mate 9, Samsung Galaxy S7, and of course the Google Pixel. The keyboard dock might be sold separately but if the S Pen is available with the tablet itself, then it will grant you features that were originally exclusive to the Galaxy Note series of smartphones.
