How was it made safe?
Reduced capacity?

>>59040590
Yes

3200 mAh battery instead of 3500 mAh battery in the original.

Any word on the pricing? I'd be interested in getting one now that they're not going to explode.

Samsung Electronics will re-release Galaxy Note 7 (photo), a smartphone that has been discontinued due to battery firing. The intention is to minimize losses by transforming the initially returned product into a refurbished product that will be refurbished to the new product level and resold.

According to Samsung, Samsung Electronics will release Galaxy Note 7 with a low-capacity battery as early as June this year. Each division of Samsung Electronics began work to finalize related projects by May.
The main reason for the discontinuity is replacing the low-capacity battery with a slightly smaller capacity than the existing (3500 mAh ). " It will be equipped with a 3000 to 3200 mAh battery," he said. "It reflects the fact that excessive battery capacity has caused ignition."

We plan to replace the case with a new one with the core parts intact. Samsung Electronics is selling the so-called "ripper phone", which is a new type of product that has been repaired since September last year.
Samsung plans to reduce the inventory burden on the Galaxy Note 7 by selling a ripper phone. Samsung Electronics has recovered 98% of the 3.16 million units sold so far. Of these, 200,000 were used for experiments to identify battery fires. Samsung is seeing 2.5 million units left in inventory.

The loss of 7 trillion won, which is estimated by Samsung Electronics, is likely to decline due to sales of refurbished phones. Samsung recovered the Galaxy Note 7 that was shipped from the end of last year and exchanged it for a new product. As a result, we saw a loss of about 3 trillion won. It is believed that the loss of the initial 7 trillion won loss of opportunity combined with the loss of opportunity for the original plan to sell 20 million units.

It is also possible to solve the environmental problems caused by the disposal of the products, and it is highly likely that the Ministry of Environment will avoid the penalties. The Ministry of Environment said, "Samsung Electronics can impose penalties if it does not observe recycling obligations."

Galaxy Note 7 will be sold mainly in emerging markets such as India and Vietnam. A company official said, "In some cases, it may be aggressively selling Galaxy Note 8 in connection with domestic telecommunication companies."

Hopefully they sell in aus too

It would be pretty great if the new cases allowed the battery to be removed

fugg I want a note 7 now
>tfw no poo

>>59040050
>tfw living in Thailand

This counts as a "developing market", right?

Only issue is it'll probably receive half-assed support because it's just 2.5million refurb shitters.

I wonder how cheap it will be.

Loss of 7 billion dollars.... Wot?

7 billion won = whatever picrelated says

>>59045311
They lost 7 trillion won, which is 7 billion us dollars. Fucking crazy.

>>59040050
Does it mean refurbished Notes will be cheap as fuck?

>>59040050
>reselling an obsolete phone
>make it even more obsolete by lowering the battery capacity

>>59040050
Literally gonna be the first in line fo' dat shit

>>59045835
seems like it. but you have to be a 3rd worlder to get one. It's probably so they don't disturb the s8 launch with cheap notes. I don't want a toddler S phone though. fuck.
>>59046139
obsolete, no. but the battery life will be mediocre now as it wasn't great either before.

SAMSHIT HOUSEFIRES

>>59046591
Then the better word is outdated.

>>59040050
how much would a note 7 cost to import?

>>59040050
I'm sure it'll be a hit in the middle-east.

>>59040050
>amsung will sell these phones in North America or Europe.
it won't
that will cause a shitstorm

>>59047189
the SoC maybe.
All the rest like display shits on any phone out there. You wouldn't say the even older s7edge is an outdated piece of shit either.

Good. This is a lot better than throwing 2.5 million Note 7's in a garbage dump in Africa.

>Samsung selling napalm to vietnamese
and here is why the U S of A is a fucking shithole, they gave it for free

>>59040050
The reason they're selling these only in developing markets is because they don't want it to cannibalize S8 and Note 8 sales

>>59040050
>with new, safe batteries
Wasn't it already demonstrated that these things still explode after the battery was replaced and the problem isn't in the battery itself but in how the design of the phone's body compresses and torques it in normal use and storage?

>>59052638
No, it was the design and quality control of the batteries.
