Samsung is going to publish soon its report about the
Galaxy Note 7, but insider sources report that the
problem was not an issue with the battery, produced by
Samsung SDI.
According to recent rumors the charge component for
the next devices that the Korean company is unveiling
in 2017 will be made by Samsung SDI and not LG or
TDK. The first phones out there are the Galaxy A-series
which are going on sale in Russia and Malaysia this
month. A Samsung official said:
SDIs large-capacity battery is installed in Galaxy A
2017. It will not be the sole supply but it will be the
battery supplier for most of the devices.
Samsung SDI also noted in a statement that they will
also supply batteries for the next-generation flagship
smartphone Galaxy S8. So clearly Samsung is confident
its own battery division is still capable of delivering a
product good enough for what is arguably the most
important launch in its history. Here's hoping it's right.
