Samsung has told Business Insider they are investigating what exactly went wrong with the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. The Korean manufacturer assured customers there would be no issues after switching battery manufacturers and exchanging defective handsets, but even replacement devices started burning up.

What went wrong ? Will this be a problem in future Samsung handsets ? "We hope not, but we should know all the details in the coming weeks”, when Samsung promises to release more information on their findings. The replacement phones have batteries from a separate and different supplier than the original Note 7 devices. "We’ re currently conducting a thorough investigation, and it would be premature to speculate on outcomes. We will share more information in the coming weeks" says Samsung.

With the end of Galaxy Note 7 production and the second recall going around the global media, it’s going to take Samsung some time to shake the damage that’s been done to its manufacturing reputation. With the first recall now clearly failing to address the Note 7 defect, there are a lot of questions to be answered about exactly what went wrong with the handset.

Samsung is still investigating the latest causes of Galaxy Note 7 fires, and we may never know the full story behind what is sure to be seen at the greatest blunder in smartphone history. Still, a few sources are already speaking out about the most likely factors behind these infamous fires and explosions.
