Samsung has concluded its investigation into the cause of widespread faults with the Galaxy Note 7. According to a Wall Street Journal report, the answer to this burning question is irregularly sized batteries and additional manufacturing faults, with the company planning an official announcement for Monday morning (8PM ET). The full press event will be streamed live for those interested in the complete details.
To reach this conclusion, Samsung hired three independent supply chain and quality control analysis firms to investigate. The company used batteries from two different brands over the course of the Note 7’s lifetime. Early devices used batteries manufactured by a subsidiary known as Samsung SDI.
