Recap on the Galaxy Note 7 fires, there were two battery issues which were said to have caused phablet to explode: – first one was related to batteries made by Samsung’s SDI division, and the second was related to batteries sourced from Amperex Technology, a third-party battery supplier.  After more users started complaining about the handset’s batteries, the company had to recall the device from the market, and later stopped the production of the phablet for good.

According to reports attained from Reuters, the South Korean firm early this year revealed the exact reason as to why the batteries were catching fire.[related-posts]
