I am afraid that the Samsung Galaxy S8 battery supplier will be replaced by LG.

The global large-scale recall incident caused by the potential danger of battery security caused by Tencent's Galaxy Note 7 caused Samsung to lose his wife and break the army. The profit was not affected. The key is to make consumers no longer trust the Samsung flagship. The good reputation that has accumulated from the Galaxy S6 has been exhausted. Netizens rushed, and there was even the Galaxy Note 7 “Bomb” Mod in GTA5. Faced with the "accidental" fiasco in the Galaxy Note 7, Samsung will be more cautious about the Galaxy S8 in the first half of next year. After all, if a fire explosion strikes again, the Galaxy series is expected to be completely played out.

In order to ensure foolproof, it has recently been reported that Samsung has chosen to use LG as a battery supplier for the Galaxy S8. Previously, the battery suppliers for the Galaxy Note 7 were Samsung's own SDI and ATL. In fact, for the Galaxy Note 7 exactly why it will be a fire, it seems Samsung did not completely understand it until now, the initial statement only said that the use of SDI battery models have security risks, but then some embarrassing is that even the first recall The new machine also has problems.

It is worth mentioning that LG Chem's LG Chem, which is responsible for the battery business, is directly competitive with Samsung SDI. However, in this special case, Samsung has also had to choose a competitor's product. Previously, Samsung's many models of camera modules In fact, it is all provided by LG Innotek, so don't be too weary about this cooperation between Samsung and LG.
