Samsung Plans To Relaunch Refurbished Note 7 Devices by ideologies(m): 1:01pm On Mar 30, 2017
September 2016, we reported that Samsung Mobile recalled Galaxy Note 7 device following one of the biggest product safety failures in tech history.

Following the incidence, Samsung hopes to refurbish the 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7 devices that it recalled after a battery fault led to some catching fire.



The company has released a statement regarding its plans to recycle Note 7 devices. The process comes in three parts: save salvageable components such as camera modules and semiconductors, extract metal parts with the help from “eco-friendly” third-party companies, and sell refurbished devices “where applicable.”

The announcement appears to walk back on what Samsung initially pledged last fall, when it said it would dispose of the Note 7 and had no plans to repair or refurbish them. Instead, Samsung has confirmed it will work with local authorities and carriers to sell it as a refurbished device, rumored to come with a smaller battery to prevent it from overheating and catching fire. The company said available markets are to be determined as they work with local regulators to approve of the sale.

“The objective of introducing refurbished devices is solely to reduce and minimize any environmental impact,” Samsung told The Verge in a statement. It also hinted that the phone may be renamed entirely when more details are unveiled. “The product details including the name, technical specification and price range will be announced when the device is available. Samsung will not be offering refurbished Galaxy Note 7 devices for rent or sale in the US.”

The company also plans to recover and use or sell reusable components such as chips and camera modules and extract rare metals used in Note 7s such as copper, gold, nickel, and silver.

I don't care if it's from Samsung or if it's the amazing galaxy note 7, this should not be more 15-18k in Nigerian currency. Anything other than that, they should go bleep themselves.

Afterall, they would not be striking Us markets off their list if they were so sure of the quality of what they want to resell.
