The future of recalled Note 7 smartphones has been apparently revealed by Samsung. In a bizarre chain of events, the controversial smartphone will be resold to users.

According to Yahoo News, the refurbished Note 7 will be hitting stores as a salable unit or a rental phone. Samsung electronics has ensured that the units are ensured to meet safety standards.

The Note 7 units will be using salvaged reusable components from the recycled units. Semiconductors and camera modules will all be coming from recalled Note 7 smartphones.

The South Korean Company will announce the market release dates soon. Several groups have signed petitions to make the Note 7 sale possible. Jude Lee, global senior campaigner of Greenpeace East Asia even emailed Samsung's CEO.

According to the group recycling the Note 7 is a major win for eco-warriors. However, doing the sale might put Samsung in another tight spot.

In other news, the Galaxy S8 will try to bring back Samsung name after the infamous Note 7 mishap. The company has teased a new beginning starring the upcoming flagship phone. Moreover, expectations are high for the Galaxy S8 as it braces for launch this week.

In a post by CNET, the S8 marks the first big opportunity to win back public trust. "It's very important that Samsung gets it right" according to Avi Greengart of Global Data.

Samsung must do its best to spark innovation after smartphones have been flat-lining in the recent years. The Galaxy S8 must bring something new to the table for them to surpass last year's pitfalls.

The stakes are high not only for Samsung but for other companies as well. Consumers are hopeful that aside from fast processors and HD cameras, new trends should also be developed by smartphone manufacturers.

The Galaxy S8 will surely be the topic for weeks to come. Samsung is hoping that consumers will finally move on and bury last year's unfortunate episode.
