Note 7 is the best phone if it is not catching fire. Unfortunately, most of the incidents are in US. There are no one incidents are from middle east. Strange!!!!

If the other supplier was using the same blueprints, no doubt is a design failure of the battery pack or its housing. Since the devil is in the details, I really doubt that as customers we will ever know (or even understand) those exact details.

If, being powered off and not charging is not making them to 'explode' (they all like the word explode, even if it is nothing like this...), why all the shipping companies are making such a big deal in not accepting to ship back the returns (powered off and in no way connected to chargers)?
How come, no unit which was on display in the showrooms, always connected to charging and handled by hundreds of people in all the possible ways, was not 'exploding'? This is real 'luck' for Samsung...

For a company with extensive experience in this type of manufacture this looks like cutting corners due to greed. Putting customers at risk for extra profit. Pure and simple. Samsung could have handled the first recall like a professional but instead chose to introduce more risk to loyal customers.

They just recalled them, and shipped out new devices with new batteries in them, not knowing if that's the real culprit. They basically just guessed it would be that (and chances were it could be) but it wasn't. Samsung deserve everything that's happening to them.

Doesn´t Apple have iPads' chargers up to 17W for 75% of battery capacity?
So fastcharge/turbocharge or whatever isn't the main failure.

If they worked with CPSC, the recertification process would take a very long time and Samsung wanted to rush replacement units out. Clearly Samsung didn't solve the original issue before declaring Note 7 safe and startsshipping.

Samsung never fully investigated the reason for explosion before declaring they solve the issue and rush out replacement "safe" units. The company is cutting corners everywhere even customer safety. Typical Korean company, all marketing and no substance.

Someone Else, 13 Oct 2016Famous theory behind the safe Note 7 catches fire.
1) the ... moremy guess is its something to do with the fast charging. They put a 60% battery cap in place once the issue first started.
With other brands like Motorola they will only turbo/fast charge up to 50%, after that they go back to snail paced charging (and dont explode)
from what i saw with a friends note 7 it seemed to stay on fast charge way past 60% so may be too much stress and heat for the battery, hence the exploding.
i think the issue is more related to charging fast, instead of charging safely. there are many posts with companies trying to beat off each other to say they have the fastest charging device.
