In South Korean, Samsung has just made the Galaxy
Note Fan Edition. It's basically the Note 7 equipped with smaller yet much
safer battery and better software. To avoid the unfortunate series of events
that happened with the Galaxy Note 7, Samsung has ensured that it wont happen
with the Samsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition.
The company has equipped the handset with a smaller
3,200 mAh battery (coming from 3,500 mAh) which passed the same rigorous
8-point battery safety test that Samsung started with the Galaxy S8 series. In
addition, the Galaxy Note FE also comes with the same software found with the
Galaxy S8 series. It even includes Samsung's very own Bixby assistant. The rest
of the specs are the same with the Galaxy Note 7 with S Pen, still beastly.
