A Galaxy Note 7 to the burst caught by a surveillance camera

After Samsung already having resigned to cancel the Galaxy Note 7, it is important to understand the origin of the problem – which after all, you may not even have to do with the batteries.

The release, collection, and cancellation of the Galaxy Note 7 will get down in history as one of the biggest flops ever in the sector mobile; and also one of the most expensive, since it will cost several thousands of millions of euros in direct damage, to which must be added the damage in the medium and long-term derived from this incident.

But should also analyze in detail what you must state the source of this problem, and it seems to be more complicated than previously thought. According to the New York Times, the engineers of the own Samsung continue without knowing why the Galaxy Note 7 are the overflow.

Even with hundreds of engineers dedicated to that task, the task of trying to replicate what takes the Note 7 to the burst continues to be a true "mission impossible".

This will not be so difficult to understand: they have been recorded a few dozen cases of Note 7 to burn (or more specifically, 96, says the brand), but it is necessary to take into account that you continue to be a very small percentage in a universe of several million units.

Is the battery or the charger?

And not least intriguing is that this problem has continued even in the new Note 7 equipped with batteries from another supplier – something that leads some people to suspect that the problem may not be battery, but something like the circuit of the rapid charge.

This does not explain, however, the cases in which the Note 7 burned without even being connected to a charger.

Even if it is only 0.00001% (which would represent 10 Galaxy Note 7 "explosives" for every million units), will continue to be a percentage inadmissible – in view of the risks, considering that any lithium battery is a potential bomb in the thumbnail.

The positive part of that may be the result of this whole episode is that millions of people will be more sensitive to the risks associated with the batteries – without prejudice to the fact that the Samsung has that explain what actually you must state the source of the problem.

And maybe you can encourage that will finally invest in new technologies that will bring us the battery more safe and efficient.
