Samsung released Galaxy Note 7 smartphone with much expectations in 2016. However, the device faced serious problems with the phone exploding one by one in several countries. Moreover, people faced serious burn injuries while using the Galaxy Note 7. Samsung decided to stop the production of the handset after a series of recalls. The company is gearing up to release a refurbished variant of the phone.
Expected to be tagged as Samsung Galaxy Note 7R, the first images of the handset has surfaced on the web via playfuldroid.com.

The image reveals the front sensors with the name Samsung Galaxy Note 7. On the rear, we can spot the rear camera with LED flash along with the traditional Samsung logo. If you watch the images carefully, you will be able to see R on the bottom right corner, which indicates Refurbished.
Based on the initial impressions, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7R will be sold between $510 to $590. The phone looks identical to that of the original Samsung Galax Note 7.
There are reports that Samsung is planning to integrate a 3200mAh battery instead of 3500mAh battery. It is to be noted that battery was the core problem for explosions in the Galaxy Note 7. We infer that the company has reportedly sourced the batteries for R variant from a new company.
