Samsung had made moves that indicated the company is working on refurbished models of the botched Galaxy Note 7 which was plagued by battery fire incidence last year. The units are said to be known as Galaxy Note 7R and have made a couple of appearance for certification. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7R model recently received Bluetooth certification and now, its real life image has appeared.

The images show the Galaxy Note 7R continues to use the same design as the Note 7 just as expected but it comes with a unique identification mark. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7R comes with a big letter R written on the back of the glass body which will obviously serve as an identification mark for anyone to easily know it is the refurbished model. We still don’t have a word from Samsung as to the launch date or the name the device would adopt. But Samsung is reported to be working on the models with the aim of selling them in the emerging market where price is the major driving force.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 7R would feature the same specifications as the initial model but will sport a safer battery. Also, we expect the Note 7R to come with a price cheaper than the original models. We still don’t have any word on its launch date but an earlier rumour tips the model as launching in June.

Samsung will be re-releasing the Galaxy Note 7 starting in its home country next month. The phone will be released as the Galaxy Note 7R where the “R” probably stands for refurbished.

The Galaxy Note 7R will share an identical appearance with the original Note 7 but will feature a smaller battery. The smaller and redesigned battery is Samsung’s solution to prevent the phone from exploding.

An image from TecnoBuffalo shows the Note 7R and reveals the battery capacity. The information page of the phone lists the phone as having a 3200mAh battery. It also reveals that the Galaxy Note 7R will launch with Android 7.0 Nougat.

The rest of the specifications are expected to remain the same. That means the Note 7R will have a 5.7-inch display, 4GB RAM, and be powered by an Exynos 8890 SoC. The rear camera will be a 12MP shooter and there will be a 5MP camera for selfies.

For pricing, reports say it will cost as much as 700,000 Korean Won which is about ∼$620. When the Galaxy Note 7 launched it sold for almost $900, that means the Note 7R gets about $250 off the original price.

Samsung has not confirmed if the Galaxy Note 7R will be released outside of South Korea but last week we saw the device get certified at the FCC.
