on Monday, January 23rd, Samsung will say officially what caused the explosions of some units of the Galaxy Note 7; but thanks to the Wall Street Journal, we will not have to wait all weekend to know.
According to the journal, Samsung blamed Monday the use of an incompatible battery with the Galaxy Note 7 as the problem that triggered the debacle of the phone, and culminated in the collection of millions of units of the tabléfono.
Samsung used batteries of size incompatible with the space in the assembly, Note 7, and in other cases used batteries with problems in their manufacture, says WSJ, which says that on Monday, Samsung will make these announcements officially.
The collection of more than 2 million units of the Note 7 will cost Samsung about$ 5,000 million, according to the newspaper. Samsung hired research firms to investigate the chain of production, and in addition underwent three analysis of quality controls to phones, added the report.
Since the problem started in late August, Samsung has blamed the battery, but without knowing the exact reason. The Wall Street Journal says that the Note 7 uses batteries produced by a subsidiary of the sudcoreana and by Amperex, a manufacturing company of Hong Kong. At the beginning, Samsung thought that only their batteries were defective, but further reports of overheating and explosions, the manufacturer also stopped the batteries from Amperex.
The conference Samsung will take place a month before one of the most important events in the cellular industry, but that does not count with the presence of the giant south Korean. Despite the fact that the Galaxy S8, the new phone’s Samsung flagship, would be presented during the MWC –as every year it happens– on this occasion, Samsung will skip the event to announce it at an event at the end of march or mid-April, according to reports.
Samsung has not confirmed nor denied this report.
