Samsung blamed batteries supplied by two manufacturers for the overheating and even explosions of some Galaxy Note7 phones. Batteries were found in some cases to be bent over because the cell pouch did not provide enough volume to accommodate the battery assembly. Deformation of the upper corners of the batteries, missing insulation tapes on the tabs, and the use of thin separators as some of the factors that could contribute to a short circuit. Samsung is trying to put the Note7 debacle behind it and may well succeed in the US and Europe.”]
