Nothing much is known on the specifications of the Galaxy Note 7R. However, recent rumors claim that the phablet would be arriving with the same specs that was available on the discontinued Galaxy Note 7.
The Note 7R is speculated to launch with two changes. The first one is that it will be launching with Android 7.0 Nougat pre-installed and the second one is that it will be packed with a smaller battery of 3,200mAh instead of the 3,500mAh battery that was available on the original Note 7. The refurbished Galaxy Note 7 is rumored to arrive in color choices such as Blue Coral, Black, White and Silver.
There is differing information available on the pricing of the phone. Leaked information coming from China says that the phablet would be available for 3,599 Yuan ($521). Earlier reports that came from Korea stated that the Note 7R would be priced around $620 in South Korea.
