Samsung Galaxy Note FE (Galaxy Note 7) gets certified with Android Pie
The Samsung Galaxy Note FE, the refurbished, limited edition Galaxy Note 7, has just passed Wi-Fi certification running Android Pie.
Samsung hit a rough patch in 2016 after the launch of the Galaxy Note 7. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 battery was faulty, and thus, several owners worldwide found their phones exploding, risking their properties, their cars, and their own life. This caused the phone to eventually be permanently discontinued. The Galaxy Note 7 was then re-released as the Galaxy Note Fan Edition, a limited run of refurbished Galaxy Note 7 units which were essentially the same phone, but with a smaller battery that didn't explode.
Here's a list of Samsung Galaxy devices that may receive Android Oreo according to leaked firmware
Here's a list of potential Samsung Galaxy devices that may receive the Android Oreo update according to leaked firmware files.
Android 8.0 Oreo was announced in August of last year. Since then, multiple companies (such as Sony and HTC) have either confirmed which devices will receive the Oreo update, or have started to actually roll out the update (such as OnePlus and Nokia). However, the largest Android smartphone OEM, Samsung, has only rolled out an Android Oreo beta program to its Galaxy S8 and S8+ devices, leaving every other Galaxy device owner in the dark about when to expect the update.
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.
