Samsung to start selling refurbished Note7s in India and Vietnam

[notefreak]

Yes, the ones that used to be ours, only with smaller batteries and new housing. Frankly it pi** es me off.

Samsung better make sure it safely deleted previous user data or they will have new privacy and personal data related law suits on their hands.

Sorry, here you go. It is all over Google.

There is a lot of "apparently" and "reports say" in those articles. In any case, to sell in those markets they would have to replace the ROM, so I don't think there is much to worry about. Besides, who turns in a phone without wiping it thoroughly?

I think average user thinks factory reset will take care of it all, but it won't.

I'm using the Note 5 and it's starting to show its age. I might consider this until the Note 8ncomes out if the price is reasonable, I'm hoping under 500.

Seeings I'm still on my note7 all I'm curious about is if I might wind up with Nougat at some point. This is incredibly harsh on everybody who gave them up. We forced you to give your phone to us and now we're giving them away cheap to somebody else. Whole thing from start to finish has been so **** on note7 owners.

Why? Everyone got a full refund. If they've solved the problem this time, it seems pretty sensible to me to recover some costs

Hopefully those are new "refurbished" devices they had in stock, not a refurbished phone from Bob who keyed up his screen and got pizza grease inside the speaker grill.

Anyhow, this article states otherwise:

Thank you! I too have now found a few rebutal articles and feel a bit better. Even if I got a refund, that felt like my phone was taken away to be sold to someone else to enjoy while I have to put up with my dated Note4 (but I won't for too long, life is too short to be dealing with freezes, reboots etc).

Naturally, not disputing that. This is early days but at least e-mail everyone who returned the phone and offer them a handset too.

Maybe Samsung customers could be contact directly but I wouldn't trust car phone warehouse to catch pneumonia in the artic let along follow up to note 7 customers lol

 

[notefreak]

Not feeling better anymore. They are doing it! Liars...

I'd rather a refurbished Note 7 that this S8 'Bixby' nonsense.
