Samsung finally explained why Galaxy Note 7 batteries are exploding

[Guest Chris Smith]

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7afe0b730f51c9f15df3c2378d707f4e.jpgGalaxy Note 7 batteries keep exploding, pushing the tally well above the 35 incidents Samsung acknowledged in its global recall announcement. The company identified the batteries made by Samsung SDI as the cause of these explosions and decided to recall all 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7 units that were shipped to retail partners and consumers. If you have a Galaxy Note 7, this post will explain how to trade it in for a new model, a different model or a refund. Samsung has been fairly open throughout this process, but the company never really explained what exactly is causing its Note 7 batteries to explode.
