Since the first news related to the explosions of some of Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 terminals began to be collected, surely the Korean company was already looking for the cause of the problema to try to find a solution that would temporarily remedy all those units that are on the street and that can cause quite a few problems.
And finally after all that related news With the replacement program and so on, Samsung has come up with a temporary solution through a OTA update for the Galaxy Note 7 that would permanently limit the battery capacity to 60%. What it means is that the devices would stop charging when they reached 60% of their battery capacity, presumably keeping the power density at a safe level.
By maintaining energy density at a safe level and to prevent the short-circuit phenomenon from reproducing itself, Samsung has finally found the kit in question so that no more explosions are suffered while all the defective units that could be found right now on the street are being replaced.
According to a source, Samsung would have placed an ad in Seoul Shinmun, a popular South Korean newspaper, announcing the plan. The company would be working with Korean operators to prepare the update, which would be planned for deployment for September 20. Korea Times speculates that the update would also encourage users to replace their device with a new one.
The measure is created so that the user does not suffer none of the consequences that we have known from the different cases that have sounded all over the planet. The only thing that is unknown is whether the update will be rolled out to other markets.
This solution will limit the Note 7's capacity to close to the 2.100 mAh, which would keep the terminal safe for those who still insist on using their phones.
