Samsung Sells 30,000 New Galaxy Note 7 Units in South Korea in 2 Days

Samsung has been working hard to get back on their feet after the whole defective battery issues with the Galaxy Note 7. The last couple of months have not been good to the South Korean tech giant, but things are finally starting to level out for them. It did seem like business was going to get rocky for Samsung again when a replaced Galaxy Note 7 caught fire, but that looks to be an isolated incident and not another batch of defective batteries.

Two weeks ago we started seeing safe Galaxy Note 7 units appear in major US wireless carrier stores. This first started with AT&T, but then branched out to the other major US carriers as well. Just like in the United States, Samsung had also suspended sales in other countries as well. The company just resumed sales of the Galaxy Note 7 in their home country of South Korea on October 1st as they had previously announced.

Along with resumed sales, Samsung is also offering South Korean customers a 50% discount on screen repairs for those who buy the device in October. One would suspect that customers would be worried about buying the Galaxy Note 7 right now, but this doesn't seem to be the case. In South Korea, a smartphone is said to be a "hit" if they are able to sell 10,000 units per day and the Note 7 has surpassed this benchmark.

The Korea Herald is reporting that since sales of the Galaxy Note 7 have resumed, Samsung has been able to sell 30,000 units on Saturday and Sunday. This has to be a relief for Samsung, but the real test is if they will be able to keep up with these sales numbers, especially outside of their own turf in South Korea. Dedicated Samsung fans would have likely bought the Note 7 anyway, but it'll be interesting to see if the smartphone has staying power after the reputation that has been building around it.

Xiaomi Brings the Redmi 3S+ to India via Retail Stores

Xiaomi has been very impressive in their push to increase their online presence. For a long time, buying a smartphone online from Xiaomi was the only official way you could get one of their smartphones or tablets. There have always been unofficial resellers here and there, but the company's flash sales were the only official channel they had and they did this to keep inventory costs down as low as possible.

Then, we started to see Xiaomi branch out a little and sell their products in their own Mi.com webstore as well as 3rd-party websites like Flipkart and Amazon. It had become clear that while the flash sale method works when a device is first released, they could sell much more by expanding their online presence. Online retailers like Flipkart and Amazon have done well for the Chinese electronics maker, but now they're looking for even more retail outlets.

The company just announced they will be building 1,000 of their own brick and mortar retail locations by 2020, but they're also looking to tap into other physical retail stores. It looks like the Redmi 3S+ will be Xiaomi's first smartphone to hit physical retail stores in India. The device was first released back in June of this year and offers reasonable hardware specs for the price Xiaomi sells it for.

You can buy the Redmi 3S+ in India, but it will be available exclusively through the company's retail partners. Xiaomi is advertising a number of their partners in the announcement tweet, but doesn't include them all. So, if you're a frequent Sangeetha, Poorvika, Big C, StoreKing, or Just Buy Live shopper, then you will start to see the Redmi 3S+ on their store shelves. The twitter announcement also mentions it will be available at "other leading retail stores," but doesn't announce the names of those other retail stores.

New Pixel and Pixel XL Details Emerge as Preorder Pages go Live

There's been a number of Google Pixel and Pixel XL leaks over the weekend and most seem to reassure us of things we've already heard in rumors. And throughout these leaks, we've learned a couple of new things that hadn't been talked about before. There have been official renders leaked from multiple retailers who accidentally pressed the publish button too early. Which is interesting to have seen happen when even Google isn't scheduled to announce them until tomorrow.

First, we learned that Google Pixel and Pixel XL customers will be able to store unlimited "full resolution" images in Photos instead of being limited by the amount of storage you have on your Google account. We also see there will be a "Smart Storage" feature that will automatically free up storage on your phone so you're never told about being out of storage because of the photos and videos you have on your device.

Live Cases will be available for both the Pixel and the Pixel XL so users can use images from Google Earth and Google Trends to personalize their devices. But what will likely excite even more people is the new leak that suggests the Pixel and Pixel XL will be available in 32GB and 128GB variants. This leak comes from a photo that was allegedly taken from the Telstra system. This photo also shows the 2 color options that will be available at launch (Quite Black and Very Silver). There's no mention of the rumored Really Blue in the Telstra system though.

Nexus fans have been begging for Google to sell 128GB variants of their devices for years but the Mountain View search giant hasn't offered them barring the Nexus 6P. It's interesting to see that a 64GB version isn't shown in this leak, and it makes us curious how much the 128GB version will cost since the base model of the Google Pixel is rumored to be priced at $650 here in the United States. In any case, we'll likely learn tomorrow!
