After everything has cleared, investigation started and it was learned that lithium batteries were the cause of the fire that occurred in a waste deposit area of the factory. Further investigations are being done to make an accurate conclusion.
A report by Bloomberg stated that Samsung SDI was eventually dropped by Samsung Galaxy Note 7 after a probe was completed that discovered flaws in battery manufacturing and design. It was one of the two suppliers for the device. A spokesperson for the company named Shin Yong-doo stated that the fire didn't affect production.
Samsung SDI recently announced that the company is investing $128 million to make its batteries safer to use. Additionally, SDI's batteries will probably be used in Samsung's next flagship smartphone. Meanwhile, Samsung even introduced an 8-point battery safety check that includes devices going through an X-ray scan to ensure its quality and safety.
