Samsung has officially announced its intention to renovate a Galaxy Note 7 smartphones, with their new batteries, which will be sold in some markets, after a discussion with local regulators and a market sustainability analysis.
The refurbished Galaxy Note 7 is said to be launched in India and Vietnam, although Samsung's local division recently denied the rumors, before the company officially announces the recycling and refurbishment 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 information that the images reveal concerns the battery in the refurbished model. Previous rumors have reported that the refurbished Galaxy Note 7 will have a smaller battery than the original model, and the leaked image seems to confirm it.
The refurbished Galaxy Note 7 appears to have a new 3,200mAh battery instead of the explosive one battery of the 3,500mAh that the original models had.
Obviously, refurbished devices should have gone through a deeper security process quality, which was necessary for Samsung to ensure that they are safe to use and will not suffer 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.
