Samsung Galaxy Note FE Selling Out Fast With A Possible Global Launch Soon

According to retailers in South Korea, the refurbished Galaxy Note 7s are flying off the shelves. Roughly 400,000 units were made available with the Black Onyx and Blue Coral color options being the most popular.

A Samsung official has stated that the current stock will not be replenished once it sells out in South Korea. Although according to an “insider,” Samsung could launch the refurbished device globally by the end of this month. The company didn’t specify which countries will be receiving them, but it’s likely that an international release will be limited to only a few markets.

Samsung has re-branded the device as the Galaxy Note FE or Fan Edition. It’s a chance for Note fans to own a piece of the mobile industry’s history. The decision to launch the Note FE has earned Samsung praise from environmentalist groups, however it’s more likely that the company is only interested in recouping some of the losses it suffered from the recall.

The Note FE is currently listed at $610, that’s $240 off the original. Would you buy the refurbished Galaxy Note 7? Let’s us know why or why not.

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 7 REVIEW: BEFORE AND AFTER THE RECALL

By now you should be aware of the Galaxy Note 7 recall regarding defective batteries leading to internal explosions. Samsung has since pushed out a software update to all Note 7s, before and after the recall, separating the good from the bad. We exchanged our original device for a new one as requested by Samsung and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. But after all the ups and downs, is the Galaxy Note 7 still worth it? Find out in our video review.

Battery performance has always been in our favor on both of our units, however it is best that you exchange your device for the new one. The units with the newer, safer battery have a green battery indicator now. Samsung received special permission to do this from Google due to the circumstances.

If you are interested in purchasing one, you need be able to recognize a good Note 7 from a bad one.

First, you need to look for the green battery indicator on the phone. Second, will be the tiny square located on the box of any good phone. Third, will be the IMEI, any defective Note 7 purchased before September 15th will be flagged. These are especially helpful if you are buying the phone second hand.

But hey Let's face it: The Note7 is Samsung's biggest slip up. The phone itself is great — it may even Android's current best — but quality control issues kind of ruined its reputation.

[UPDATE] Since the launch of the Note 7, Samsung has been plagued with countless issues involving their latest phone. Following an official recall with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Samsung has replaced over a million defective units, however even the new units are having issues. According to reports, Samsung is halting the production of the Galaxy Note 7, at least for now. This comes just hours after AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon seized all sales of the phone.

Be aware that we had no issues with either of our Note 7 units but due to the circumstances, Techcellent News can no longer recommend this device. Such a shame, as the Note is actually a great device.
