Soon Samsung will return Galaxy Note 7. After going through the recovery process, it will appear on the market called Samsung Galaxy Note 7R and will be twice cheaper than the original. This is reported by the online edition of GSMArena with reference to sources in the industry.
According to industry sources, the cost of Samsung Galaxy Note 7R will be about 50% lower than the original Galaxy Note 7, which was withdrawn from sale last fall. Interestingly, it was previously reported that the South Korean market Samsung Galaxy Note 7R will go on sale at a price of 700 thousand Korean won (about $ 620), which is about 300 thousand won ($ 266) cheaper than the original. Now the sources say that its cost will be 500 thousand won (about $ 440).
"Samsung has not yet decided on the schedule for launching the smartphone (Samsung Galaxy Note 7R), we plan to launch it before Galaxy Note 8, which will be released later this year," an employee of Samsung said on condition of anonymity.
As it became known on the eve, Samsung will reduce the battery capacity of the restored smartphone. Galaxy Note 7R will be equipped with a battery capacity of 3200 mAh instead of 3500 mAh for the original model. And as a pre-installed operating system will perform Android 7.0 Nougat, not Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. On this difference ends.
