The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 made headlines in 2016 because of its exploding batteries. However, according to recent reports, the Samsung SDI batteries may not be the actual defect behind the fiasco.

The company had blamed the explosion on the Samsung SDI battery and replaced it with Amprerex ones. However, the problem persisted, leading to a second recall. Samsung has conducted a probe of the Galaxy Note 7 debacle and will announce its findings this month.
