The hallmark feature of the Galaxy Note phones was screen size when Samsung launched its first-generation phablet back in 2011.

Almost two years ago, Samsung rushed the Galaxy Note 7 to market in what would become a massive disaster for Samsung. Soon after launch, dozens of reports emerged from around the world, detailing cases of explosions and fires.

 It might be the most expensive Samsung phone ever made, but the Galaxy Note 8 is probably the phone to buy if you’re looking for a high-end Android handset made by Samsung. It’s a better Galaxy S8 version that comes with a dual lens main camera and an S Pen stylus. However, it appears there …

Soon after Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note 8 last week, news emerged that Samsung will significantly discount the handset for the customers that were affected by last year’s unexpected Galaxy Note 7 recall.

Some said it couldn’t be done, but Samsung somehow managed to dust itself off and emerge relatively unscathed from the unmitigated disaster that was the Galaxy Note 7.

Samsung’s really hoping that the third time is going to be the charm for the Galaxy Note 7. It’s rolled out a slightly revamped version of the Note 7, called the Note 7 FE (that’s fan edition, not a shortening of covfefe), in South Korea. From the outside, the Note 7 FE looks identical to …
