Samsung planning on selling refurbished galaxy note 7 devices?

Good news (maybe) for us hold outs that are still using our note 7's

REAAAAAAALLY doubt this one. They already 'killed' the Note 7 brand. Not coming back unless they re-brand them, and even then, it would be a really risky move.

Never say never i guess, just thought it was weird.

If they really know the reason, why not?

100% no way

Article I read noted this would likely happen only in "emerging" markets like India or China. Highly unlikely they would get this past the Consumer Product Safety Commission to sell again in US.

Just curious, why are you holding out?

This shouldn't happen anywhere.

Your carrier has to allow it also and I suspect the note 7 will eventually be blocked by carriers. I said I suspect, not that i know.

well you asked. i do not believe they "explode", on a small percentage of the phones (less then 0.1 %) there have been catastrophic battery failures. i do not think the problem is inside of each phone just waiting to unleash its wrath on an unsuspecting public.

what i do believe is that the note 7 is the best phone i have ever owned, and it has worked great for me. i have not found any phone that i want as a replacement. so right now i plan to keep using my note 7 until the s8 comes out, and if that is a good phone then i will switch.

You think you know better than Samsungs engineers?


If they can figure out the problem and to our knowledge they haven't, then you and I can't make "I believe so and so" statements.

the fact that they have not found the root cause, is exactly why i say " i believe".

right now there is far more evidence that not all of these phones are at risk, then there is against it.

no need to go on about it, you asked and i answered. you do not have to agree with me and i will not be agreeing with you.

This is based off of a S. Korean article that came out in September...before the 2nd round "failure" and before the recall/airline ban. Much ado about nothing.

I had not seen that it was from that long ago, thanks.
