Samsung has plans to sell its Galaxy Note 7 in emerging markets

According to South Korean blog Hankyung, Samsung plans to sell about 2.5 million units of its inventory. The strategy to follow would be to sell them as "ripper phone", what is this? Use the main parts of the Galaxy Note 7 without any modification and replace the case with a new one, possibly as a different product line, the other big change that would have this new product would be the battery, as it was known the batteries of 3500 mAh by its Physical size were damaged and cause short circuits and subsequently explode the Galaxy Note 7. So the new product would have 3000 mAh or 3200 mAh batteries that are physically smaller. The work teams at Samsung considered May as a limit to define all the projects related to this new product and in June of this year could be released to the emerging markets.

All this would allow Samsung to reduce its losses from about $ 6 billion to about $ 2.6 billion. Another important point to follow this plan is to comply with its recycling obligations and avoid fines from the South Korean Ministry of Environment.

The main markets to which this new product would be destined would be India and Vietnam mainly, but by the great volume other small markets would also have their quota.
