Amazon Italy accidentally lists the Galaxy Watch FE which won’t be unveiled until next month.
Kudos to Samsung for turning lemons into lemonade. In the aftermath of the fiasco that was called the Galaxy Note 7, Samsung realized that had the model not had a propensity for exploding, it might have set sales records at the time. Everyone absolutely loved the Galaxy Note 7 design and many were reluctant to return it as Samsung demanded. I have a relative who owned the device and he refused to send it to Samsung even after the manufacturer turned it into a paperweight by remotely preventing the battery from charging.
Samsung capitalized on the love affair between the Galaxy Note 7 and consumers in South Korea by producing 400,000 Galaxy Note Fan Edition phones. The troublemaker on the Galaxy Note 7, the 3500mAh battery, was replaced with a 3200mAh cell. The application processor of the original phone was swapped out for the Snapdragon 821 and there were some minor cosmetic differences. For example, the Fan Edition model said «Fan Edition» right on the rear panel.
Since then, Samsung has added the FE initials to several devices, and on its website, the company explains exactly what it means.
