The refurbished Galaxy Note 7 is expected to go on sale as early as June in Korea, according to local news reports.
Refurbished phones are products resold at a cheaper price after defects have been repaired.

Since the explosion of the Note 7 was apparently caused by battery defects, the phones are expected to reduce the battery capacity from the current 3500 milliamp hours to 3200 milliamp hours, industry watchers said. The price of the refurbished Note 7, which will be set in discussion with three telecom carriers, is expected to be cut by half.
Early this month, Samsung received radio wave approval for the refurbished Note 7 from the US Federal Communications Commission.
