Galaxy Note 7 : the batteries only source of the disaster, not the … – ZDNet France

The mystery finally arrives ? Today, Samsung would have a clear idea of the reasons that led to the fiasco in Note 7, the results of the survey will be unveiled on January 23 next, according to a source cited by Reuters, the history of turn the page and move to the strategic launch of the Galaxy S8 scheduled between late February and April.

The same source has released some more info : it would appear that the conclusions of this investigation overwhelm the battery itself and not the design of the terminal. Samsung would have been able to reproduce the case of fire Note 7 in the course of its investigation and has concluded that the design of the equipment or potential problems with the software could not be the cause.

A finding that contradicts the work of independent engineers that are also discussed in this case. For them, the battery is not the only cause. It would have been rendered dangerous because of the design “aggressive” of the smartphone. In the race to the finesse (the Note is only 7.9 mm thick, Samsung is perhaps going too far since the chassis would place pressure on the battery, as the compartment that receives the battery has been reduced to the maximum.

Thus, instead of having 0.5 mm of space to “breathe” in the battery, the battery of the Note should merely 0.1 and 0.3 mm of margin as shown in the photo above. However, in use, the battery has a tendency to somewhat swell up…

elsewhere, the new devices distributed after the first explosion, equipped with a battery from another supplier had continued to take fire. This seems to again contradict the sole responsibility of the battery…

Wait and see. On 23 January, Koh Dong-jin, the head of the mobile business of Samsung, should, therefore, announce the results, as well as the new measures taken by the group to avoid similar problems in the new devices.
