Still good: Analysis from Samsung and independent researchers found no other problems in the Note 7 devices except the batteries.
SEOUL: Tech giant Samsung Electronics Co Ltd said it plans to sell refurbished versions of the Galaxy Note 7 smartphones that were pulled from markets due to fire-prone batteries.
The Note 7s were permanently scrapped in October, roughly two months from the launch of the near– US$900 (RM3,975) devices, as more of the phones self-combusted despite a global recall initiated in September. A subsequent probe found manufacturing problems in batteries supplied by two different companies – Samsung SDI Co Ltd and Amperex Technology Ltd.
