Apart from employing a series of new stringent tests and precautions, the new Note7 features a relatively smaller 3200mAh battery. The company further mentioned that it will be selling 400,000 phones, all of which utilize components extracted from defective unused Note7 handsets. Samsung also says that it’s put the Galaxy Note Fan Edition’s battery through an 8-point safety check to prevent it from overheating and well, exploding, unlike the previous version. A few months ago, Samsung elaborated how it plans to recycle and said the process will involve determining what components such as camera modules and semiconductors should be restored, in association with “eco-friendly” third-party organizations. Other than that, though, the new Galaxy Note7 comes with similar specifications which consist of a 5.7-inch Quad HD display, IP68 certification, S-pen functionality, octa-core processor, 4 gigs of RAM, fingerprint and an iris scanner as well. The camera arrangement includes a 12-megapixel f/1.7 rear lens and a front-facing 5-megapixel f/1.7 shooter. The phone will also feature Samsung’s Bixby voice assistant, Bixby vision and everything else they added on the Galaxy S8 series. For the uninitiated, last year, Samsung’s Galaxy Note7 led to harsh accidents due to significant faults in its battery. Despite executing a massive global recall, the smartphone giant couldn’t figure out the precise issues hindering the internals and eventually, had to shut it down altogether. It will be interesting to see how they make a comeback at this point with the Galaxy Note7. Moreover, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is also expected to launch in less than two months at IFA with a much steeper price tag and a set of cameras on the back.
