Samsung has launched the replacement of the Galaxy Note 7 and, in some countries, has already resumed sales of the phablet. However, it seems that the device is born under a bad star. In the last hours have in fact come from South Korea concerns related to the overheating, also for the new Galaxy Note 7. The Korean manufacturer has excluded the existence of another "batterygate", stating that they are isolated cases.
The Galaxy Note 7, announced at the beginning of August, arrived on the market about two weeks after. In the following days began to get reports of the batteries exploded while charging, so Samsung has decided to stop the sale and initiate a recall campaign. Following the investigations carried out identified the batch of defective batteries produced by Samsung SDI) and the cause (contact between the anode and the cathode). Unfortunately, it seems that the Galaxy Note 7 with the battery produced by Amperex Technology Limited gets a similar problem.
According to the channel, Korean YTN, some users have reported an increase of the temperature during the charging and the failure to maintain the level of charge, even while charging the same. A spokesman of Samsung said that this new problem is not related to the batteries, and, in any case, they are isolated cases. At the time the reports come only from South Korea, where the replacement of the Galaxy Note 7 defective began on 19 September. Sales will resume instead of the 1 October, three days after the date previously announced.
european users will have to wait another two months before being able to purchase the smartphone. The problem, perhaps caused by the rush to anticipate Apple, will impact on the profits and the reputation of the Korean manufacturer. According to a recent survey, 34% of the users contacted will no longer buy Samsung smartphone.
