Samsung to sell recycled Note 7 phone in South Korea at $611

[...] after reports emerged that its batteries were prone to overheat and catch fire, Samsung recalled the phone in less than a month of its launch and released another one with replaced batteries.

Aviation authorities around the world banned the pricy phone on flight and photos of scorched Note 7 circulated on social media.

After Samsung recalled millions of Note 7 phones, environmental activists have pressured the South Korean tech giant to reuse the electronics parts to reduce waste.
