部分 Samsung Galaxy Note 7 可能回歸市場,但大部分會被處理掉。

在 3 月 29 日 Samsung Galaxy S8 系列裝置正式發表前,Samsung 宣佈將會讓 Galaxy Note 7 裝置有條件的回歸到市場上。

如果適用的話,部分 Samsung Galaxy Note 7 會被作為整新機(Refurbished Device)或租賃裝置。

跟著,部分 Samsung Galaxy Note 7 的可拆解零件在拆卸後將被重複使用。

最後,Samsung Galaxy Note 7 的金屬萃取物類將使用較環保方式進行分解。

對於 Samsung Galaxy Note 7 作為翻新機或租賃裝置回歸市場部分,確切的時間與日期並沒有在這次新聞稿中提到。此外,Samsung 計畫加入歐盟的研發和測試工作,以為環保盡一份心力。

如果沒意外的話,Samsung 在推出整新機或是租賃裝置的 Galaxy Note 7 時,其搭配的電池將會比一開始發售時要小。

Samsung Electronics has established three principles to ensure that Galaxy Note 7 devices are recycled and processed in an environmentally-friendly manner.

First, devices shall be considered to be used as refurbished phones or rental phones where applicable.

Second, salvageable components shall be detached for reuse.

Third, processes such as metals extraction shall be performed using environmentally friendly methods.

Regarding the Galaxy Note 7 devices as refurbished phones or rental phones, applicability is dependent upon consultations with regulatory authorities and carriers as well as due consideration of local demand. The markets and release dates will be determined accordingly.

For remaining Galaxy Note 7 devices, components such as semiconductors and camera modules shall be detached by companies specializing in such services and used for test sample production purposes.

Finally, for left over component recycling, Samsung shall first extract precious metals, such as copper, nickel, gold and silver by utilizing eco-friendly companies specializing in such processes.

As part of our ongoing commitment to recycling, Samsung also plans to join the EU’s R&D and test efforts to develop new eco-friendly processing methods.
