Samsung Galaxy Note 7 To Sell Refurbished 2016 Handset
The 2016 Samsung Galaxy Note 7, has met with severe controversy after reports emerged saying the battery of it has the tendency to explode. Because of the compelling evidence, the South Korean tech giant has ultimately decided to pull the smartphone out from the market. And now, it seems like the company is planning to once again roll out the handset to the public, and this time it is labeled as refurbished.
The company hinted in its statement that the refurbished Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will not roll out in every market in the world. Instead, it would totally depend on the regulatory authorities and carriers of that specific region, Reuters reported.
"Regarding the Galaxy Note 7 devices as refurbished phones or rental phones, applicability is dependent upon consultations with regulatory authorities and carriers as well as due consideration of local demand," the tech giant said. Further noting that the company will choose where and when to sell the refurbished Samsung Galaxy Note 7 accordingly.
Some tech enthusiasts find the tech giant's move for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to be quite risky, as said on Android Authority. For one, though, consumers are probably skeptic to test out this new handset, considering it has already been recalled twice in late 2016. It is still quite interesting to see how the tech giant will approach this problem once the refurbished model gets released in other markets.
Unfortunately, the South Korean-based tech giant has yet to elaborate its full intentions or specific plans for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. With that being said, it is highly advisable for the fans to keep an eye out in case something new comes up. Moreover, it would be wise to take all circulating rumors and speculations with a tiny pinch of salt until something official gets released.
Meanwhile, there is also a plan to recover the components that the company used for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. The tech giant is planning to either use or sells the chips and camera modules found in the units that are not refurbished products.
