So.. If someone still has a note 7 that didn't explode, can he then purchase a note 7 fe battery and flash the FE firmware on it ? Hmmm..

    Bebe Rexha, 14 Jul 2017Would just loved it with thicker body and retain the 3500mA... moreThat would involve redesigning the phone. Much cheaper & easier to put a smaller battery in

      It's nice to see that Samsung is finally taking this more seriously and lessons are hopefully learned. That UL logo on the new battery means that it complies to specific standards and also factory inspections are taking place most likely. For our sake let's hope that other manufacturers will follow suit and won't wait until something goes catastrophically wrong with their design and manufacturing processes.

            Bebe Rexha, 14 Jul 2017Would just loved it with thicker body and retain the 3500mA... moreEven that's far from enough, especially non-removable (And with Samsung's quality...) and for that money...

            You need more than that to be sure you'll last the day in any scenario. 4000 mah Is the bare minimum and they don't even have a single phone with 4000+ mah yet.

              Would just loved it with thicker body and retain the 3500mAh capacity, maybe even 3600mAh like the S7 Edge, cause it doesn't make sense that the phablet has smaller battery than the flagship.
