Following the whole fiasco of Galaxy Note 7, Samsung is putting all its cards in the highly anticipated Galaxy Note 8.
And this time, the company is determined to not make any battery related mistake. According to Trusted Reviews, overstuffing the Note 7 is what caused the battery to explode.
Too many features and design overdo broke the limit of battery capacity. If Samsung needs the goodwill back, a sturdier battery is in demand.
Apart from Samsung, another company which has its fair share of bad advertising with Note 7 disaster is SDI. SDI is Samsung's battery provider.
A SDI source who was present during the development of Note 7's battery stated, "Since the first recall, we've had many inquiries from our clients, including Apple, asking whether batteries used in their products are safe."
SDI is a major in-house supplier for renowned brands including Samsung and Apple. The customers of SDI are now skeptical about the batteries health and are hesitant to invest anymore with the supplier.
Digital Trends stated that since the Note 7 issue, SDI has lost around a fifth of its market value. Also, the source in SDI suggested that the company were second guessing themselves while they were developing the Note 7 batteries.
"We are also asking ourselves whether we should have done it (the Note 7 battery) this way, or whether there could have been other ways," said the source.To earn back the hampered reputation, Samsung is expected to give a feature packed device that will please the customers.
The Galaxy Note 8 may have a 5.7-inch screen size and a 4k display. It is also likely that the device will feature 6GB or 8GB RAM for a smooth operation.
Galaxy Note 8 is expected to run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 830 processor, which is the upgraded version of Snapdragon 821. Apart from this, like Note 7, the new iteration Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will feature a fingerprint and iris scanner for more security.
Since iPhone 7 is offering the maximum storage capacity of 256 GB, customers are hoping that Samsung will do the same for Galaxy Note 8 or at least 128 GB.
