The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is now officially on sale again at T-Mobile. Customers can purchase the handset online or in stores. The smartphone remains priced at $849.99, or $69.99 down and $32.50 per month for 24 months, with T-Mobile’s payment plan.
T-Mobile began replacing recalled Galaxy Note 7 handsets Sept. 21. Since the replacement program has been underway, Samsung has stated approximately 90 percent of Note 7 owners exchanging their devices have opted to get a new Galaxy Note 7.
The smartphone returned to store shelves in Korea Oct. 1 and reports indicate the Note 7 sold 30,000 units during its first weekend back on sale. This could mean there is a chance the recall has not completely tarnished Samsung’s reputation.
Analysts predict it may take Samsung some time to get back on track financially, but the company likely won’t suffer long term. The Galaxy Note 7, while popular, is not the biggest seller in Samsung’s repertoire. Customers can likely expect a big marketing push for the upcoming Galaxy S smartphone, expected to release in Spring 2017. Past iterations of theS line have sold more than twice the volume of the Note series.
