Samsung has officially announced its intention to renovate a Galaxy Note 7 smartphones, with new ones batteries them, which will be sold in certain markets, after discussion with local regulatory agencies and some market viability analysis.
The renovated Galaxy Note 7 is said to be launched in India and Vietnam, although a local division of Samsung recently denied the rumors, before the company officially announced the recycling and refurbishing program for Galaxy Note 7 smartphones.
Today they leaked images sourced from Vietnam showing the refurbished Galaxy Note 7 with code number SM-N935. This means that the model could be sold in the country, since Samsung currently assembles its smartphones there.
An interesting piece of information revealed by the images concerns the battery that exists within the refurbished model. Earlier rumors suggested that the refurbished Galaxy Note 7 would feature a smaller battery than the original model, and the leaked image seems to confirm that.
The refurbished Galaxy Note 7 seems to have a new battery in 3,200mAh instead of the 3,500mAh explosive battery that had the original models.
Apparently, the refurbished devices should have undergone a deeper quality assurance process that was necessary to ensure that Samsung is safe to use and that they will not have the same fate as the original models.
One of the leaked images also shows that the refurbished device runs on Android 7.0 Nougat. Please note that the original model was released in the market at the 850 price of the dollar, while the refurbished model will certainly have a much lower price.
