Samsung would sell the Galaxy Note 7 refurbished ? The … – Le Journal du Geek

The rumor has suddenly appeared on several sites tech american : finally, Samsung decided to maybe re-sale of the Galaxy Note 7 refurbished and completely safe from the beginning of the next year. A rumor with questionable foundation and that will not bear the test of facts.

it All started yesterday evening, on the site, yet generally well informed and relatively serious SamMobile. The latter, based on an article from a Korean newspaper, The Investor, says in effect that Samsung would think about it to re-sale at the beginning of next year’s Galaxy Note 7 refurbished and confident on emerging markets, such as Vietnam or India. After all, if Samsung is the origin of the conflagration of its phones and manages to locate some safe devices, why should we not try to fill the hole of several billion that has caused its Note 7 in its finances ?

A Galaxy Note 7 damaged

An old article…

Except that this rumor is based on nothing credible. To start with the source of the article : the rumor of The Investor date in effect as of September 26, last. Is ten days prior to the final judgment of the production and sale of the Note 7. At the time, this rumor might seem believable. But now, now that Samsung has put an end to the fiasco, it is simply improbable.

what We see is very wrong Samsung re-selling a device that is banned by all the airlines. We also see very poorly the Korean go back on his decision when it was published a few days ago a full-page apology in some of the largest american newspapers (the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and the Washington Post).

… And an agenda that does not hold the road

Finally, how Samsung could afford to take out a Galaxy Note 7 to the beginning of the next year when we know for a fact that the Galaxy S8 — whose reputation is not marred by problems of explosion, it will come out a few months later, certainly in the month of march 2017. And we are not even talking about possible new problems of explosions of battery that might occur on these models are refurbished, which sink into it a bit more for the brand image of Samsung.

So, no, we are not near review the Galaxy Note 7 to be on the shelves. The latter has done a lot of evil finance and the brand image of Samsung, which will attempt to make us forget with his future Galaxy S8. The next time we’ll probably talk about in Note 7, this will most certainly have to learn where is the cause of the explosions of the phones. Of the causes that Samsung is still struggling to find.
