While Samsung might have had to deal with the disastrous Galaxy Note 7 fiasco last year, where ill-fated devices were plagued by explosions due to manufacturing and design defects in the battery, it seems that some news have surfaced that they are considering selling refurbished sets of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in developing countries.

The refurbished Galaxy Note 7 sets will allegedly carry a smaller battery, 3000mAh to 3200mAh, (down from the original 3500mAh), and would be available as soon as June 2017 in emerging markets like India and Vietnam.

Today, the Honor announced in China the new Honor V9, alongside the Honor 8 Lite. With specs rivalling that of the Huawei Mate 9, it comes at a lower price, but, not without some cut-down specifications, such as retaining last year’s dual 12MP rear camera instead of the newer 20MP+12MP combo.

Prices start from 2599 Yuan (around RM1685) for the 4GB/64GB upwards to 3499 Yuan (around RM2266) for the top end 6GB/128GB model.
