Most of us have heard the story of the exploding Note 7. Today we gonna tell you more about what was the real problem behind those exploding devices Note 7.

Story of the exploding 6GB RAM

The battery was so beautiful that it became aggressive to the design of the Note 7. A pair of polymer layers drenched in electrolytes was used to separate a positive layer made of lithium cobalt oxide, and a negative layer made of graphite. Should those two layers meet, the electrolytes would heat up causing an explosion. As it was rumored, compressing the battery would force the positive and negative layers to squeeze together.

Samsung itself reported that this was a big risk and it might have been too aggressive with the design. Moreover, there is a normal amount of swelling that takes place. Some of it comes from the pressure on the battery created through pushing on the back cover (for example, by putting the phone in your back pocket and sitting on it) . As the company was looking forward to making a thinner smartphone, the batteries were manufactured to pack as much capacity as possible, while keeping to a svelte footprint.

Rumors stated that the company took the risk to shipping the Note 7 to their seller, with a battery that was so thin that it left very little wiggle room for problems. And yes, this should have been spotted in tests. However, Samsung broke protocol by handling the testing itself. Well, Samsung said that “designing and validating process for a new product can be challenging for anybody. In this case, the company took a risky decision towards danger, and the test they conducted for their infrastructure and design validation failed them”.

Aggressive design caused exploding Note 7 

Samsung made a wrong decision when launching the Note 7. By one calculation, the company lost more than $5 billion in total revenue and other costs associated. Do you believe that Samsung was so unprofessional to sell something that was not good ? comment and let us know.
