Not to start up a conspiracy theory about the Galaxy Note 7 overheating/fires, but... I was wondering. Some folk were surprised that the Note 7 had a bit smaller battery than the Galaxy S7. Not sure why. Maybe needed the space or cut costs or something. Regardless, to meet demanding performance needs and a longer lasting charge could Samsung have unwisely pushed the limits of the battery without carefully testing it. Had heard that one of the fixes was that Samsung was going to release an update for the phone to limit the battery maximum charge to 60% to prevent the overheating... I think that this was a proposed solution for devices sold in Korea. US consumer agency is having Samsung recall all Note 7s as of today...Too bad Samsung decided to make phone with non removable battery...
