In reference to this video


Samsung had recently dropped "Samsung SDI", manufacturer of the batteries for the note 7, does the s7edge and galaxy s7 have batteries manufactured by the same company?

There are reports of s7 edges getting really hot to the touch after charging and even during normal use.

Just hoping one day we won't get the surprise news that all S7s get recalled for the same matter if applicable.

You would have been heard if there were exploding batteries.
However If the plant responsible for those batteries is the same manufacturer that did the batteries for the S7, I wouldn't want to find out the hard way one day.

The flaw comes from poorly assembled batteries, lack of quality control.

Everyone focuses on the Note 7 but there are many complaining about excessive heat coming from the battery area of the s7edge...

You don't need to wait for the news to tell you these things

I would say it's a very very low probability we have exploding phones seeing as the phone has been out awhile and there are no explosions.

Ok, So I did the dirty work for everyone. Last link i sent wasnt even remotely close but a little bit of research here and there, and then you find a pandoras box...

So let me take it upon myself to demonstrate that the same battery exists on both the Galaxy Note 7 and Possibly the Galaxy S7 Edge

Please look at the following pictures

This is the Galaxy S7 Battery from the teardown that occured on SlashGear

Link : http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-tiny-facts-camera-bump-rubbery-gasket-battery-22428436/

The Manufacturer is Samsung SDI, The same company responsible for the exploding batteries due to poor manufacturing process

Here is another pic from the Samsung Newsroom!

SDI Battery in plain sight on a page touting the battery for both the S7 and S7 Edge!

This is on a Galaxy S7!!!!

Not all S7's have this battery as shown below of this tear down on Ifixit

You Can clearly see "Amparex Technology Limited"

Could not find anything that the Amparex manufactured batteries were in any shape form the culprit

Here is a Note 7 Battery with "Donguan ITM Electronics" clearly shown

Youtube video recently surfaced showing how this Dongan ITM Battery can become unstable if a foreign element finds its way into the battery

So we know its not just Samsung SDI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cd2WIxKRDk

Truth is we might not even know what battery is in our phones but if Samsung is placing blame on the manufacturing process of Samsung SDI, there are other regular S7's out there that do have the battery manufactured by this company. And the Donguan Battery which isnt mentioned in the news looks to explode very violently when provoked according to the Youtube Video

Cross our fingers we dont hear an S7 or S7 edge horror!

In the TARDIS
You're making a mountain out of a molehill. Every device made with LiPo batteries shows up in the headlines at some point. You want some iPhone 6/6s fires, here they are:

http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-36955531

The Note 7 has a large amount of devices catching fire (20-30 70 in just the US alone) in a very short period of time, and they found a clear defect in batteries coming from one supplier. No matter how much you try to trump it up, the Galaxy S7 & S7E simply don't have a problem of this magnitude.

There is nothing to see here.

There is nothing to trump in this matter, if were carrying around phones that have batteries with questionable manufacturing issues, its worth looking into regardless. You clearly see what happens when the battery is ruptured.

Besides that, new replacement phones are being released this week from what im told in limited quantity with all issues fixed. You cannot simply disavow facts for personal belief. But then again we live in a "I told you so" society. There is plenty to see when you might have a battery that is made from a company with poor quality standards.
