Samsung Galaxy S8 it will have 3250 mAh and 3750 mAh batteries, according to some information that appeared the other day, but how safe will they be? Samsung made it clear a few weeks ago that it could use the same batteries in the Samsung Galaxy S8 as in the Galaxy Note 7, and many people started asking questions about their safety.
Well, it seems that in the meantime Samsung has contracted a Japanese manufacturer to supply Samsung Galaxy S8 batteries this year. The Japanese company Murata is the one that would be contracted to supply Samsung Galaxy S8 batteries this year and theoretically they should be safer than those of Samsung SDI.
The Apple company also buys batteries from Japan for its iPhone terminals, so the decision made for the Samsung Galaxy S8 should be a pretty good one. In the terminals launched so far, Samsung bought batteries from China and used products manufactured by its subsidiary, but for the Samsung Galaxy S8 it makes an interesting change of strategy.
Samsung Galaxy S8 will have batteries from Japan
Those from Murata would supply the Wi-Fi chip of certain iPhone models, and now it seems that they will also supply the batteries that will support the operation of the Samsung Galaxy S8. We don't know how safe these batteries will be, but theoretically the Samsung Galaxy S8 should be free of problems with explosions, as happened with the Galaxy Note 7.
Since Murata products are used by the Apple company, then we are probably talking about a manufacturer with high standards for the quality of components, so Samsung would make a good choice for the Samsung Galaxy S8. Although Murata was chosen by Samsung to supply the Samsung Galaxy S8 batteries, it is not known what percentage of the total will come from the Japanese.
Samsung Galaxy S8 batteries are to be checked based on an 8-point test procedure, so that safety is guaranteed. In this idea, the Samsung Galaxy S8 should not explode in almost any kind of usage conditions, because Samsung has most likely learned something from the failure of the Galaxy Note 7.
