Galaxy Note FE Started Selling
Galaxy Note FE was released on July 7th in Korea. FE is an abbreviation of Fan Edition, and this device also go by the name of another Galaxy Note 7.
Terrific to Terrible
At first, let's get back the time when note 7 came out in 2016. A lot of people were excited about its high specifications including Samsung Pay and future-oriented design. As soon as it was released, the supply couldn't follow the demand for it. It almost sold out, so they even had to wait to get the gadget. As of August 24th in 2016, everything changed; it caught a fire. To top it off, it caught a fire from nationwide to worldwide and was prohibited in most major airlines in the world. To prevent additional damages, Samsung had no choice but to recall a huge amount of the products. This problem absolutely turned favorable comments into sarcastic ones in a short time.
Ready to comeback?
After a year, the company launched refurbished versions of Galaxy Note 7 with a different name, Galaxy Note FE in Korea. They said that Note FE was built with unused components of Note 7 and has perfect safety. Specifications of Note FE are almost same as those of the original Note 7 except batteries limited to 3,200mAh compared to previous 3,500mAh. It's on sale at 700,00 won ($611), 30 percent cheaper than Note 7, and the supply is limited to 400,00 units. This new smartphone has been selling well beyond expectations. The company said that the total units will be sold out soon, which means many people still prefer Note series. It looks like that the upcoming smartphone, Galaxy Note 8, will recover its brand power more easily.
My Next Smartphone
I've been using Galaxy Note 3 Neo, quite old version! Actually, it was mom's. I had used Nexus 5 made by Google with great satisfaction, but it broke. I dropped it to the ground last year. I feel like buying a new device, so Note FE is also included in the list for my next smartphone. I think that it's a little pricey but acceptable. The high specifications and nice design are also good. Nevertheless, there're some factors to hesitate to buy this product; burn-in symptom & batteries.
In short, Galaxy Note FE is on sale in Korea, and what I need to do is just wait until Note 8 of Samsung, V30 of LG, and Pixel 2 of Google.
