LG Reportedly Supplying Batteries For Flagship Smartphone

In Samsung’s latest attempt to get their hazardous line of defective Galaxy Note 7 smartphones out of the hands of US consumers; all carriers will send out an update rendering every unit inoperable. But after the unexpected discontinuation of the Note phone, the company is said to be seeking to diversify suppliers, including battery makers.

It’s unclear at this time what caused the Galaxy Note 7 explosions, but Samsung needs more battery providers for future smartphones. It is now rumored that the same Y OCTA technology will also be incorporated for the new flagship device, the Samsung Galaxy S8 to be released in February 2017.

The Samsung Note 7 was likely the biggest disaster in Samsung’s corporate history.

But a Korean report quotes analysts at Goldman Sachs estimates that the Galaxy S8 will be 15-20 per cent more expensive. The publication claims that the smartphone will feature a 5.7-inch screen coupled with an awe-inspiring display resolution as well.

Samsung began working on Galaxy S8 after they launched Galaxy Note 7. Samsung will be partnering with few external agencies in order to plan company’s resurgence ahead of Galaxy S8 launch.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Edge and S8 Plus may have 6GB or 8GB RAM with USB-C ports and fingerprint scanners to replace the home button.

Months before its launching, there has already been an ample amount of rumors stating the specs and features of the much-anticipated smartphone.

On the other hand, recent reports indicated that the Galaxy S8 might not sport an AI assistant after all, as Google could prevent it from happening.

Back in October, 9to5Macreports that BusinessKorea noted that Samsung and LG were collectively investing a combined record amount of around $11.6B into the development of flexible displays for 2016.
