The refurbished Note 7 will allow Samsung to limit the environmental impact of discontinuing its seventh-generation Note flagship, while allowing fans of the Note lineup – at least in some markets – to get their hands on the Note 7.

The Galaxy Note FE is expected to be launched on July 7, possibly with an ‘R' engraved on the back of the device to indicate that it is a refurbished unit. It could be delayed by a couple of weeks according to a recent rumor, but we're guessing Samsung will not be waiting around too long as the Galaxy Note 8 is just over two months away.
