Refurbished Galaxy Note7 launches in Korea in June for $250 less

-


Like a phoenix, the Samsung Galaxy Note7 is soon going to rise from its ashes. And hopefully not explode anymore. After having seen the refurbished Note7 being Wi-Fi certified yesterday, now we have a release time frame to speak of.



In Samsung's home country of South Korea, the refurbs will become available in June, confirming an earlier report on the matter. To grab a unit you'll need to pay KRW 700,000, which currently means $620. That's around $255 less than what the Note7 was going for when it was released last year, namely KRW 988,900 ($875).


It's hard to speculate what this means for pricing in the other markets where the refurb Note7s will come out, but keep in mind that an almost 30% price cut was applied in Korea. The same percentage may be taken out of the original price in other countries too, or thereabouts.

The refurbished Galaxy Note7 units are expected to come with smaller battery capacity compared to the exploding devices from last year. The best you can hope for is 3,200 mAh, but there's a chance it will be only 3,000 mAh apparently. That's a lot less than the 3,500 mAh cells fitted originally, but we all know how that turned out.

Around 300,000 refurbished Note7 units will be sold in Korea, of the 3-4 million total recalled devices. The most likely product name is said to be Galaxy Note7R.

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your

LG Display used CES 2018 in Las Vegas to officially unveil its new OLED displays - one of them being a 65-inch 4K flexible screen that can be rolled like a newspaper. The other is an 88” 8K OLED panel that we told you about last week. The flexibility of the 65” OLED display makes it easier to transport or store in the corner. Its small size allows for better space utilization, meaning you can take the TV anytime, anywhere and “enjoy bright, high-resolution content”. LG Display will also showcase its latest upgrades of the IPS technology. The panels now have IPS nano-color, “which expresses rich colors using nanoscale high-color reproduction particles, and IPS technology, which increases the transmittance and reduces the intensity of light reflected on the panel.”, said the company in a press release.
