Doesn't matter if they use batteries from LG or other suppliers, as long Samsung package it as sealed battery, phone will explode.

LG must be careful. We still don't know the real cause of the fires. A few incidents and LG name might get dragged into the problem.

It would make sense to have an easy replaceable battery because then your saving money. People may have to deal without water proof phones, but overall it would be better

Samsung cannot trust it's batteries because they don't know what caused them to catch fire sadly........
Going to LG could be a bad move as many LG fans admit LG phones come with a spare battery because LG batteries are crap and don't have a good charge.
As a former Note 7 purchaser but not owner, I am waiting for the S8 or S8edge or S8 Pro whatever comes, But using using LG batteries may deter me from buying the S8 series until I know how good the batteries are. After all if Sammy sticks to fixed battery design a spare LG battery won't be coming with this phone!

Anonymous, 20 Oct 2016YOU STILL DID NOT UNDERSTAND. Problem is , Samsung doesnt w... moreEven if Samsung isn't going to use Samsung SDI batteries, other companies would. So when you say you don't trust Samsung SDI are you saying you would buy Samsung over other companies which may still be using Samsung SDI?
But anyway, diversifying supply chains doesn't mean they wont use Samsung SDI. It just means they will ease supply lines by using other companies, allowing them to assure quality on all of them. Which means your premise was wrong and you don't have a point.

So Samsung doesnt trust Samsung products. And other commenter meant : If Samsung doesnt trust its own components, i dont trust them either.

We know ZTE axon 7 uses Samsung's display, Samsung's storage. They may also be using other things like battery and ram, but since nobody cares about the branding of everything nobody actually looks at that sort of thing.
But Samsung SDI is the number one supplier of mobile batteries in the world. Number one. Do you understand what that means? It means they're everywhere. They are even in some Apple products.
