Samsung is scrambling to manage the fallout and regain consumer trust after the Galaxy Note 7 debacle, which is considered one of the biggest safety failures in tech history. The company has been working on rebuilding its image as it is preparing to roll out its next flagship device, the Galaxy S8, within the first six months of the year.

An anonymous source told Reuters that Samsung was able to replicate the Galaxy Note 7 explosion during its investigation. Samsung reportedly found that the cause of the fire cannot be traced to software or hardware related issues.

A couple of weeks after Samsung released the Galaxy Note 7, reports started to surface about incidents of random explosions involving the device. The company was forced to stop manufacturing the smartphone and recall all existing devices in October last year following its failed effort to fix the problems. 

The recall dealt a heavy blow to Samsung. The company reportedly lost $5.2 billion over three-quarters because of the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco, according to Fortune.
