As a very cruel irony of fate, today the Samsung SDI factory that produced the batteries in which the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 batteries were manufactured caught fire. We are talking about a factory whose location is in China, Samsung SDI being initially accused of supplying batteries with problems for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and the whole factory caught fire.
According to Samsung SDI representatives, a low-intensity fire broke out in the factory and was quickly extinguished by the intervention teams. Although those from Samsung said that it was a minor incident, the images below show that things were not quite like that, a large cloud of smoke being emitted from the location of the Samsung SDI factory.
Although the fire seems to have been much more serious than Samsung wanted to believe, the company claims that the production would not have been affected and the batteries are still manufactured. Those from Samsung would have solved the battery problems, but the fire started in an area where the materials that are to be destroyed or transported to landfills are stored.
Samsung said it invested $129 million in its SDI subsidiary to improve production conditions and manufacture problem-free batteries. These will be used including in the Samsung Galaxy S8 starting from the spring of this year, and theoretically the new terminal should be much safer than the previous one launched on global markets.
