    I don't know why Samsung for 900 USD device use unknown cheap battery suppliers instead of using proven ones like Panasonic.

The... moreITM Semiconductor is a local Korean firm that makes the battery pack and those are the ones that are exploding. The China launch of Note7 is unaffected because those battery's are made by Chinese company Amperex Technology. Per the Koreaherald:

      "For the phones sold in Korea and some overseas markets, ITM Semiconductor, a Korean firm, produces the battery pack. Most of the phones to be sold in China are equipped with those produced by China’s Amperex Technology.

      Thus far, explosions have been reported on the phones using the ITM battery pack."

                              Sammy only do cheap batteries for outside Asia, inide Asia they do the job they need to do worldwide!

                              but, because sammy dont care about consumer in Europe or in USA or even Australia and so on they put even more cheap batteries to people have problems and to make buyers to pay more for a repair! - to fill up the pockets of sammy!

                              only blind people buy sammy and apple those days, they are too expensive for the things they offer...

                                  sammy is the best but they screwed it up this time really bad,
                                  note 7 is a really bad loss for now.

                                    What's in our "U.S. VERSION" some cancer causing radiation that they have the cure for? I think it's a bunch of B.S. that they have batteries from different suppliers.
                                    I am sure they have nicer ones and pay less too. Why are we paying so much for these phablet that don't have the battery China's have in them? Hmmmmm
