The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has been in a huge problem in the past few weeks. The technology giant has already lost much in the calamity brought upon it by the batteries of their premium smartphone. In this crucial time, there comes some crucial information relating to the testing of the batteries.
Reports have surfaced from The Wall Street Journal that the batteries of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 were tested by a facility owned by Samsung itself. Normally this practice is done by third party labs as they get approached from a brand. Some people are now of the opinion that Note 7 Backfire was due to the lack of experience in self-testing of the smartphone brand.
The purpose of testing the phone is to ensure that the phone stays in pace with the International Electrical and Electronics Engineering, also referred as IEEE. The companies perform tests on their devices so that their products stay certified as usable under the standards of the engineering, as put forward by the firm.
This news has also been confirmed by a Samsung spokesperson. Relating to the battery crisis of the Samsung, Tom Sawanobari, the Chief of Technology Officer for Samsung said, "We've certified over 1,500 batteries. This is the first time we've had an issue."
There are currently 28 labs in the United States of America, which are offering certified services by the CTIA, the wireless industry trade group. The users of these labs also include prominent names like Apple etc.
There are also other companies such as Motorola which use their own labs to test the batteries etc. but they lag far behind in the race of superior technology. Samsung on the other hand is a high-end brand that has a huge fan base and a strong funding. The cause of self-testing the batteries is a mystery in its own sense.
Maybe the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco of Samsung might provoke the company to shift to third party certification once more, just like the rest. We hope that the company will learn from its mistake and put forward the safety of users and invest into that matter as the time proceeds.
Yet again, the battery crisis of the Samsung's Note 7 takes a new curve.
