Samsung Galaxy Note FE might launch globally this month
Samsung Galaxy Note 7/Note FE
Although we heard that Samsung only plans to sell 400,000 Galaxy Note FE units in South Korea, it seems like the global market is supposed to get the refurbished Note 7 as well.
The ill-fated Galaxy Note 7 is not gone, and it seems most of the withdrawn units are coming back. The only difference between the original Note 7 and the refurbished one that is going to hit the market as Galaxy Note FE is the battery - the original had a 3,500 mAh capacity, while the new one only provides 3,200 mAh.
According to The Investor, the 400,000 Galaxy Note FE units to hit South Korea will not be followed by a second batch. However, that only seems to be true for Korea, since the global market should get the refurbished Note 7 as well. Unfortunately, the details are not official yet.
The source mentioned above also mentioned that the Note FE comes with Bixby and that "Samsung said it would later decide whether it would sell the FE in other global markets, and some industry sources expect the global release of the phablet later this month."
These being said, we should wait for the global revival of the Galaxy Note 7.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
