Hello there...So last year Samsung really messed up one of their beloved model (Note 7), it was such a sad story but this year today specifically they came with the Note 7 again with everything similar to last year's except for the name and Battery which Exploded. Some found a new life as refurbished handsets offered for rental. Others, it appears, were reborn as the Galaxy Note 7 Fan Edition.
Teardown experts iFixit got their hands on the new device—only 400,000 of which are on sale, exclusively in South Korea.
“And in case you were wondering—no, there isn’t a tiny fan in there to help prevent battery fires. (We checked.)” iFixit wrote in a blog post.
There are, however, subtle differences between the new Fan Edition and the Exploded one"
“At first glance, it seems like nothing has changed,” the company reported.
That is, until you pry off the “nasty glass panel” and take a closer look at the restored hardware: Inside is a new, albeit smaller, battery. Clocking in at 3,200mAh (versus the original Note 7’s 3,500mAh), the petite power source is apparently enough to make the phone safe again.

Now there are several reasons why Samsung may have chosen a deliberately higher than typical price for the FE. The most obvious is to prevent cannibalizing sales of the upcoming Galaxy Note 8 and stealing its thunder. Usually this wouldn’t be much of a problem, as we’ve discussed that previous models always become cheaper. However, as the Note range has been off the market for so long, a low cost model release so soon before the Note 8 could make the upcoming flagship appear overpriced. The Galaxy Note 7 Fan Edition is priced at KRW 699,600 (close to $617), which is KRW 300,000 (close to $265) cheaper than the original Galaxy Note 7 at the time of its launch in the country. The company will sell 400,000 units of the Galaxy Note 7 FE through three cellular carriers in the country. Also the Galaxy Note 7, the Note 7 FE will be allowed to on flights
Samsung has also said that “overseas sales will be decided later”, but given that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is rumored for an August release, it may be a better move for Samsung to leave the Note 7 behind it.

cheers..
