Samsung’s decision to kill the Note 7 might help the Company in future as a really hard choice was made to save their brand, and
prevented what could have been a complete melting down of all the good
will they had built over the last five years.
After a long and tiresome investigation, Samsung has reportedly ended its investigation to find out the root cause of the exploding Samsung Galaxy Note 7. The South Korean manufacturer has submitted its findings to the Korea Testing Laboratory, UL (UL is an American safety consulting and certification company headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois.), and other regulatory bodies. The findings have not been made public, nor has any media house got hold of it so far.
According to undisclosed sources, Samsung has completed its internal investigation and reported its findings to outside laboratories. The report has been pending for a long time, and one of the reasons for killing the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 altogether was because the actual reason for all the explosions was not found. Findings from third party investigators does suggest that because cramming many features into a small frame put a lot of pressure on the battery, leaving no room for it to expand either.
In a tale that is surely to go down in smartphone history, Samsung had to recall all of its Galaxy Note 7 units from the market because of unexplained explosions while on charge. There were several dangerous implications of these explosions as well - including a jeep set on fire, and a man who had to bear a huge hotel bill because of the sudden explosion in his room causing damages.
Samsung had bet big on the Galaxy Note 7 this year, and even launched it way ahead of its regular cycle, to fend off iPhone 7 competition. The Note 7 had more features and was more complex than any other phone manufactured. In a race to surpass iPhone, Samsung seems to have packed it with so much innovation it became uncontrollable. However, this early release backfired badly, and Samsung spent the rest of the year making amends.
The company even had to delay its work on the Galaxy S8 to find the root cause of these explosions.
In any case, Samsung is looking to compensate for the damage by bringing unique feature on the Galaxy S8, scheduled for launch in February. The smartphone is expected to come with a selfie camera that can auto focus. Furthermore, it is tipped to sport 6GB of RAM and 256GB of inbuilt storage. Samsung is reportedly going to ditch the 3.5mm audio jack and the Home Button for its next flagship model it seems.
How quickly Samsung will emerge from the Note 7 fiasco is less clear. The company is facing an immediate, and substantial, financial blow. Perhaps more worrisome is how people may lose trust in the Samsung brand in near future.
