Galaxy Note 7 : the causes of the disaster soon clarified – Numerama

Samsung needs to communicate by the end of the year on its investigation and disclose the reasons at the origin of the fiasco of the Galaxy Note 7. The batteries would be permanently out of the question.

It is in the course of the next few weeks we should finally know the causes of the conflagration unexplained the Galaxy Note 7. In fact, the south Korean media indicated that the publication of the final conclusions of Samsung, which is conducting the investigation for months, needs to happen soon, very likely by the end of the year, according to The Investor.

While the internal batteries had been pointed out from the outset, it now appears that they are not the primary cause of the unrest in the Galaxy Note 7. Certainly, they contribute to the combustion of mobile and are likely to explode due to the action of the flames, but they would not be the trigger. They are for the moment put out of the question.

Of the subsequent verifications carried out by Samsung did not show that the cause of the problem of the batteries. A “good” news for Samsung, who has been a part re-orient its investigations and on the other hand to offer reassurance about the reliability of this component. In fact, the lithium-ion batteries in question are manufactured by Samsung SDI, a subsidiary of the giant south Korean.

one of The issues that will arise when Samsung will disclose on its inquiry will be whether the origin of the problem can be corrected relatively easily to be able to consider the discount on the market the Galaxy Note 7. This scenario seems quite implausible : the Galaxy Note 7 has missed three months of sale, is for the moment more product, and its brand image is clearly degraded.

On the other hand, the publication of the conclusions of Samsung may have an indirect beneficial effect : by showing that he has found the origin of the problem that has affected the Galaxy Note 7, the asian giant could say, in a hollow, that this concern is now known and controlled : in other words, it does not occur in any way on its next smartphone, namely the Galaxy S8, which should unfold over the next year.

It is crucial for Samsung because if the Galaxy Note 7 is one of the terminals of the most popular on its catalog, the Galaxy Sx is the flagship of the entire fleet.
