What Went Wrong with Galaxy Note 7?

Several reasons have been popping out from the reported explosion of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 that resulted to its untimely demised. The debacle has ended up with third party suppliers owning up the blame when in fact, the only reason is down to faulty battery.

So how does this faulty battery resulted to explosion? A popular hypothesis suggests that Samsung has been aggressive on Galaxy Note 7 design that it ended up squeezing the large battery making it fit to space that cannot accommodate its size, according to Forbes.

In a technical point of view, the battery of Galaxy Note 7 is made up of lithium cobalt oxide, negative layer made of graphite and two electrolyte-soaked separator layer made of polymer. An explosion has transpired because the positive and negative layers have touched thus, having energy flowing directly into the electrolyte that heats up due to the volume of flowing energy.

On the other hand, the separator has also said to be thin thus, ended up broken when compressed due to manufacturing parameters. Besides, the pressure from the daily use of the phone is also said to have been added to the problem.
