Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Investigation, Results This Month
According to MSN Money, the JoongAng Ilbo newspaper reported on Monday that Samsung Electronics Co Ltd examined the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 units to find out what caused the units to catch fire. The sources of this news however were unnamed.
Samsung said that in October, an extensive investigation was done and initially suggested that it wasn’t just one factor but a combination of factors that caused the problem.

Investors of one of the world’s top smartphone maker says an investigation is important to find out the root cause of this problem to regain the trust of Samsung users all over who have or have not been victimized by the effects of the unit’s malfunction.
Samsung Galaxy S8 Leak Samsung Desktop Experience
Information on the new Samsung Galaxy S8 has been leaked by an unexpected source, it’s rival, Microsoft. In the site called “All About Windows Phone (AAWP),” Steve Litchfield says his source shares a leak of an ‘upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8 presentation.’ It shows the Samsung Galaxy S8 with a potential operating mode, the Samsung Desktop Experience.
When a Galaxy S8 is connected to a monitor, keyboard and mouse it creates a new ‘Extended Workspace.’ In Steve Litchfield’s article he says, “interesting here on AAWP because it shows a very Continuum-like ‘workspace’ experience.”
The Microsoft’s Continuum also allows a Windows 10 mobile to drive a monitor, keyboard and mouse. If you have a Windows 10 mobile device, you don’t need a laptop you just need a mouse and an HDMI cable to attach to a screen.
Steve Litchfiled of the AAWP in his article said, “Is this real? Maybe. Is it a Samsung-only thing? Probably. Will it work as seamlessly as Continuum under Windows 10 Mobile? Probably not, but your comments are welcome!”Could this be a soon-to-be battle between Samsung and Microsoft?
