Samsung Galaxy note 7 witnessed a big setback in 2016, due to its ‘battery’ issues which eventually led to many handsets on fire. Earlier, the issues weren’t clearly described, but many concluded battery de-stabilization. Now the report says, overheating of the smartphones is attributed to problems with battery structure and manufacturing processes, as per state-run Korea Agency for Technology and Standards (KAT).
"Our investigation concluded that the batteries were found to be the cause of the Note 7 incidents," Samsung had said. The report appears after two weeks of Samsung’s probe result on batteries as the cause of last year’s Galaxy Note 7 fiasco. As per the report of the Korean Agency, there weren’t any problems with the smartphone itself, or with its software.

As per the report of the Korean Agency, there weren’t any problems with the smartphone itself, or with its software.
The regulator’s 13-week investigation found defects related to Samsung’s two battery suppliers: Samsung SDI Co.—an affiliate of the smartphone maker—and Hong Kong-based Amperex Technology Ltd., which is also known as ATL.
The batteries supplied by Samsung SDI, were reported to have damaged in the upper corner of battery’s internal structure which was caused by pressure from the battery’s external casing, which led to overheating.
The batteries supplied by ATL was triggered by a manufacturing error that resulted in some batteries lacking insulation tape. Samsung hasn’t released any flagship smartphone since September last year. Also, the company’s upcoming smartphone, the Galaxy s8 is expected to have a delayed launch.
