Earlier this week, Samsung officially launched the Galaxy Note Fan Edition
over in South Korea. The Note Fan Edition (also referred to as the Note
FE) is Samsung’s way of refurbishing leftover Note 7 components,
decreasing the size of the battery so there’s (hopefully) no explosions this time around, and selling the handsets to consumers who are still heartbroken over the the death of last year’s Note flagship.
The Note Fan Edition looks identical to last year’s Note 7,
and while most of the specs are the same, there is a slightly smaller
battery (3,200 mAh compared to 3,500 mAh) and an upgrade to the Galaxy S8/S8+’s software – including the new user interface, Bixby, etc.
Samsung is currently only releasing 400,000 units of the Note FE in
South Korea, and while the company has said that it’ll consider
expanding to other markets later on down the road, you can still
purchase the handset outside of South Korea right now.
Here’s how to do it.
eBay
Right now, your best bet for getting the Galaxy Note Fan Edition is
through eBay. eBay is home to millions of phones, tablets, and other
gadgets, and plenty of people that have already gotten their hands on
the FE are eager to sell them to folks that are willing to pay for the
price of admission.
There are a few listings for the Note FE on eBay, and prices
currently range from around $829 and $849. Shipping appears to be free
for most/all of the Note FE’s being sold, but you’ll want to act fast as
quantities are limited.
Google Shopping
If you type in, “Galaxy Note Fan Edition” or, “Galaxy Note FE” into
Google and then head over to the, “Shopping” tab, this is where you’ll
see any listings for the phone that have been posted online. Google
Shopping currently only shows Note FE’s being sold through eBay, but as
time goes on, we should see more and more sellers pop up within these
searches.
Keep searching
Although eBay and Google Shopping are the only two places to get the
Galaxy Note FE at this time, we should hopefully see the phone expand to
other sites and markets as time goes on. However, if you need to get a
Fan Edition in your hands right this very second, these are currently
your two best bets.
