TheSamsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition (marketed asSamsung Galaxy Note FE) is aAndroid-basedphablet manufactured, developed, produced and marketed bySamsung Electronics. It is the refurbished version of theGalaxy Note 7 after 9 months of its recall. The Galaxy Note FE is unveiled on July 7, 2017. It is the last phone in the SamsungGalaxy Note series to have a physical home button and to have navigation buttons on the bottom bezel.
It has a smaller battery of 3200 mAh and is supplied withAndroid Nougat withSamsung Experience UI, the operating system of theGalaxy S8.
In June 2017,The Wall Street Journal reported on Samsung's plan to refurbish its inventory of recalled phones and release them with a new model designation of Galaxy Note FE, the "FE" being an abbreviation of "Fan Edition". The phone was also rumored to be named the Note 7R, with the "R" standing for "refurbished". This phone was released in South Korea on 7 July 2017, with limited availability in other countries to follow, and a price of $610; being a $255 discount from the price of the Note 7.[2]
The Fan Edition has a smaller battery of 3200 mAh and multiple safety features. The software is identical to that of the S8, featuring a similar UI, and includesBixby home and reminders but not the entire Bixby assistant.[3][4] Samsung introduced an eight-point battery check after the Note 7 to make sure all of their batteries were safe for new and current devices in production. There have been no reported incidents of an S8 or S8+ catching fire after their release as the first new flagship device to go through the eight-point battery check, nor have there been reports of the Note 8 catching fire.[5][6]
After the Fan Edition was released in South Korea, the Galaxy Note FE was also released in select countries inAsia andSaudi Arabia starting in October 2017.[7]
