Samsung took a hit last year with the company's flagship phablet that turned to a major fire hazard. In fact, the problem was very serious that the phone literally became a ticking time bomb. The Galaxy Note 7 has since blemished the South Korean company's name in the global mobile industry.

According to many news outlets and sources, the company is ready to publicize its findings on what happened to the fiery Note 7. To many of Samsung's avid customers, the details of the report are important to give them closure and move on to 2017.

In a post by BGR, President and COO of Samsung Electronics America Tim Baxter reportedly announced that they'll be posting the results "very soon." In Samsung's CES 2017 press event, the Baxter told participants that they are also consulting with third party experts.

The South Korean company probably didn't want the Galaxy Note 7 report to ruin its CES 2017 show. But, according to various sources, Samsung's investigation report has already been finalized.

Apparently, the company does not believe that a battery problem could have been the cause of the explosions. A Korean website has claimed that a Samsung subsidiary will that made Note 7 batteries will also supply batteries for the upcoming Galaxy s8.

The same BGR article also posted that a source said that the findings will be shared to the public as early as January 10. But Samsung has not commented on the information.

In a previous post from CNET, the Galaxy Note 7 could have exploded from the following reasons. The phablet is equipped with a lithium-ion battery. If the battery short circuits or the thin sheet of plastic separating the positive and negative sides of the battery is punctured, there can be a possible explosion. The puncture point becomes the path of least resistance for the electric current to flow.

The liquid material inside most lithium ion batteries is highly flammable. Once it heats up the liquid electrolyte at puncture point and it heats up fast, the battery can explode.

The explosions can also be attributed to the Galaxy Note 7's rush assembly. According to the same article, Samsung had an obvious manufacturing error. The company has placed pressure on plates contained within battery cells that might have brought the negative and positive poles into contact.

The explanation does not cover Samsung's investigation in the matter. We'll have to wait for the company's report on what really went on with the Galaxy Note 7's exploding batteries.
