Probe: Note 7 exploding batteries 鈥榳rong size鈥
Print Edition
A Samsung probe into the exploding batteries that forced the electronics giant to scrap its Galaxy Note 7 smartphones has found irregularly sized batteries caused overheating, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday.
Samsung was forced to discontinue its flagship Note 7 after a chaotic recall that saw replacement phones also catching fire, with the debacle costing the company billions in lost profit and reputational damage.
Samsung is set to unveil the results of its investigation on Monday, but sources said the findings indicated some of the problematic batteries were irregularly sized, causing overheating, while others had manufacturing problems.
Samsung recalled 2.5 million units of the oversized Galaxy Note 7 smartphone in September after several devices exploded or caught fire. When replacement phones also started to combust, the company killed off the Note 7 for good.
