Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 7 recall last month, as the phones come with a faulty battery caused to catch fire while charging. The South Korean company has replaced most of the 2.5 million Note 7 units it sold before the launch of the product replacement program.
The test was carried out by a laboratory in Singapore
The Galaxy Note 7 replaced may not be as safe as Samsung officials say, as a recent incident may force the company to change its strategy once again. The smartphone Galaxy Note 7 has caught fire on a plane, causing the evacuation of all passengers and crew members. CPSC is currently considering the issue and Samsung could be forced to launch a new recall of its latest flagship. There are also reports saying that US carriers allow customers to exchange the Galaxy Note 7 replaced with any other phone. Meanwhile, the laboratory of the Energy Hub battery applied in Singapore conducted a battery test on a Galaxy Note 7 smartphone, according to The Telegraph.
The unit Galaxy Note 7 was in flames
The researchers applied a pressure on a full charge Note 7 smartphone to determine when it would start to burn. They gradually increased the pressure and when the limit is reached, the smartphone was in flames. The images show how the device catches fire and burns almost completely. It is not known if the device has been recalled or replaced unit. However, any device with a lithium-ion battery might suffer the same fate when sufficient pressure is applied. These batteries are known to burning when internal components are in contact after the battery has been perforated. The images show a smartphone Galaxy Note 7 burned that is similar to previous reports of these smartphones that take fire. The battery is fully burn, as the flame was big enough to reach the machine that applies pressure.
