Samsung's refurbished Galaxy Note 7 rumored to launch at the end of June

Last month, Samsung confirmed that it will sell refurbished versions of the Galaxy Note 7 in select parts of the globe. The company hasn't revealed any other details on its release plans, but today a new report claims to have more info.

Samsung is planning to release its refurbished Galaxy Note 7 in South Korea at the end of June, reports ETNews. The device is expected to cost 700,000 won ($616 USD), which is a drop from the Note 7's original price tag of 989,890 won ($870 USD).

This refurbished Galaxy Note 7 is expected to be called the Galaxy Note 7 R. The device will likely offer the same features as the original Note 7, including a 5.7-inch 2560x1440 Super AMOLED display, 4GB of RAM, and 12-megapixel rear camera. However, it'll reportedly have a smaller battery, packing a 3200mAh battery rather than the 3500mAh battery found in the original model that suffered from overheating due to battery issues.

Unfortunately for those of us not in South Korea, it's unclear when or if Samsung will offer the refurbished Galaxy Note 7 in other parts of the globe. We do know that it won't be sold in the US, though. The good news is that Samsung's Galaxy S8 and S8+ are now on store shelves, so anyone that wants a high-end Samsung phone can take a look at those devices if they can't get a Note 7.

Samsung is building a revolutionary ROLL-UP smartphone

GETTY • US PATENT OFFICE Example of a flexible display, LEFT, and the illustrations filed with the Samsung patent, RIGHT Samsung has been awarded a US patent for a brand-new foldable, rollable display to use across its smartphone and tablet ranges. The South Korean technology firm recently used its flexible display technology in the award-winning Galaxy S6 Edge, which has a dual curved QHD screen. However this latest patent, which was published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, shows the company has bolder ambitions for its curved displays.

The Samsung Galaxy Note7 (S820) Review

This year has been difficult for smartphones, which is a bit of a paradox when you consider just how much better things have gotten compared to last year. With Snapdragon 820, 650, 652, and 625 we've finally moved past the shadow of the Snapdragon 810, 808, and 617/615. While there were Android devices that shipped with the Exynos 7420, they were often paired with a modem that was not necessarily the most power efficient. Despite all of this, there seems to be a general disappointment with smartphones. People are increasingly finding it hard to justify phones like the HTC 10 or Galaxy S7 with competition from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and even Apple with their iPhone SE. In this context the Galaxy Note7 brings much of the flavor of the Galaxy S7 edge, but blends it with the S-Pen of the Note line and a few new features like the iris scanner. If you were paying attention to the industry with the launch of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note5, it's very much more of the same rather than the m

Why do Android fanboys hate admitting that Samsung copied Apple?

It's impossible to cover the mobile market without diving into the good ol' "iOS vs. Android" debate from time to time. These are the two biggest mobile platforms on the planet, so they're constantly being compared. Likewise, Samsung and Apple are the world's top two smartphone vendors, so their phones are constantly pitted against each other as well. Of course, there's another reason Apple and Samsung are often mentioned in the same breath: after entering the market, Samsung quickly grew to become the top mobile device maker on the planet thanks in large part to Apple. First, Samsung did everything it possibly could to copy Apple's iPhone and iPad. Then, it spent billions upon billions of dollars belittling Apple products in TV, online, and print advertising. Samsung spent years positioning its own devices as the cool alternative to Apple's iPhone, and its efforts paid off big time. Even now, Samsung continues to copy Apple all the time acro
