The year is 2017. Reports swirl of Samsung's plan to refurbish recalled inventory into the Galaxy Note FE. Once rumored as the Note 7R, this 'Fan Edition' launches in South Korea on July 7th. Priced at $610, a $255 discount from the original, it offers a safer 3200 mAh battery. Limited availability spreads to Asia and Saudi Arabia by October, marking a cautious return to the market.
