Samsung Galaxy Note 7 : and if the batteries had nothing to do with … – 01net.com

And if the battery was out of the question ? After the fiasco of the Galaxy Note 7, it appears more and more precisely that this component is not ultimately responsible for the clearance of smoke and other combustion, sustained by the owners of the smartphone.

At the onset of the first incident, before the original recall of 2 September, all tended to put the batteries in question. This type of combustion has already occurred on many devices from all brands – obviously not to this scale. In this type of case, it is held generally that the lithium-ion battery. Deemed unstable, they are however the only ones that can deliver enough energy to the space that may grant them the manufacturers in their smartphones. Their use is therefore a risk assumed and limited as much as possible during the design of the equipment.

dysfunction ever reproduced by Samsung

However, the information of the New York Times show that Samsung’s engineers were never able to reproduce the malfunction in their laboratory. They had, therefore, concluded hastily that this had to come from a problem of short-circuit of the batteries supplied by Samsung SDI, the division of the company that manufactures it. The builder had then decided to buy from another supplier, ATL, to equip the Galaxy Note 7 replacement, with the failure that we know.

The u.s. daily also reveals that the engineers koreans have failed to reproduce any fire with this second series of smartphones, which is supposed to be safe. “It was too fast to affect the batteries, I think that there was no problem with them or that they were not the main problem “, says Park Chul-wan, former director of the Center for Advanced Batteries, Korea Electronics Technology Institute.

organization of Samsung question

The problem would certainly be a component of the mobile phone, the dysfunction would be to make the battery unstable and lead to its inflammation. Nothing in all of this would not be so due to a battery too powerful for the size of the device, which would have resulted in an overheating of the latter.

Many observers of the company are accusing the organization itself of Samsung, described by example of the “military” by Geoffrey Cain, an investigative journalist and author of a book on the Korean society. It is also the opinion of two former employees who confirmed to the New York Times that all the decisions come from the top of the organization and are made by people who have no idea of the issues and technology constraints that involve the design of a smartphone.

A crisis of governance of the company

A complete repudiation of Lee Jae-yong, propelled to the head of the empire Samsung after his father Lee Kun-hee had known two years ago a heart attack involving a hospital still in progress. It has since never been seen in public, despite the fact that it still occupies symbolically the head of the company.

in The mid-90s, Lee Kun-hee had gathered together 2,000 employees and burned in front of them 150 000 mobile (press file Samsung PDF), thus symbolizing their lack of quality. Trauma founder who had enabled Samsung to question and propel themselves at the head of the market years later. In 2016, any action on his part will not be necessary for its Galaxy Note 7 will catch fire and that Samsung realizes the fake not major he just committed.
