The firm disclosed its preliminary findings in Jan. that different battery power problems from two suppliers caused the fires, which was corroborated by two other independent probes.The firm implemented several steps including a new set of battery safety checks to avoid repeat incidents, which analysts said is helping it win back consumer trust.
Strong initial response for the Galaxy S8 smart-phones that began selling in Apr. indicate the firm is recovering quickly, with some analysts forecasting the device to set Samsung`s internal sales records and push the firm towards what is widely expected to be its best-ever profit for Apr.-Jun..There have been no battery fire incidents reported for the S8.
