” It could be the battery, or something else. “Nearly two months after the first explosions of its Galaxy Note 7, Samsung seems to still move forward blindly. Its “phablet” is catching on fire, but the Korean giant still does not know why. While the battery seemed until then to be the cause of this problem, Samsung acknowledges that no track is out to this day. But what elements, other than the battery, could cause the burning of this high-end smartphone ?

A global problem

” It is likely that we are moving towards a global problem and not only a defect of the battery, ” explains Romain Thuret, head of mobility service of the site lesnumeriques.com. Start with one of the special features of the Galaxy Note 7, the seal. “A sealed product is going to heat up much more than a product that is not, he says, all the components are locked, it creates a kind of environment sauna. “Overheating increased, and the risk of combustion multiplied. But this is not all.

one of The “flaws” of the phablet could also be one of its strengths : its charge time reduced. Like many of the smartphones currently, the samsung Galaxy Note 7 contains a lithium battery, a component to be relatively unstable. Until then nothing very problematic, if not is that the charge of these batteries must be regulated. However, for this model, the Korean giant is using the technology ” quick charge “, which is a contribution of considerable amount of energy in a reduced time, but also a factor of additional superheat. But this is not all.

blur total

The overheating of the Galaxy Note 7, and its combustion can also come from the processor, the motherboard, a chemical component, its system of charging without contact… in Short, the cause or causes(s) of the explosions of the phablet can be various. There’s probably a “bad alchemy of all the components,” said Adrian Branco, journalist 01net.com, ” and there is obviously a big blur technique. What aggravates the fire, it is the battery, but they still don’t know what causes it. “In as much as, as highlighted by the reporter, one of the burning took place on a Galaxy Note 7 off so a priori, no overheating on the horizon…

at this stage, we can therefore say two things : in addition to being in the mist, Samsung is going through a bad patch.
