No Galaxy S8 batteries have exploded since the phone’s release

No Galaxy S8 batteries have exploded since the phone's release

It's pretty common to hear about smartphone batteries exploding, considering the large number of devices out there. But it's pretty rare to see the number of explosions and fires become a statistical anomaly for a single device, as it was the case for the Galaxy Note 7 last year. Samsung was forced to pull the phone and come up with new security measures and quality assurance practices in order to make sure that no other smartphone suffers the same fate. And it looks like Samsung learned its lesson well, as no Galaxy S8 handsets have exploded since the phone was released.

A report from The Herald says there were no reported battery problems in the 50 days following the Galaxy S8's launch, according to statements made by industry sources. It's unclear who the industry sources are, but it doesn't really matter. Had any Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ exploded since Samsung started selling the phones in April, the incident would have made the news given the Galaxy Note 7's unfortunate history.

While that seems extraordinary, it shouldn't be perceived that way, and Samsung should not be lauded for something all smartphone makers do, ensuring that batteries are safe. Batteries should not explode or catch on fire due to manufacturing issues. That should be one smartphone feature we should all take for granted. That said, Samsung's efforts to correct the manufacturing issues brought to light by the Galaxy Note 7 explosions won't go unobserved.

The refurbished Galaxy Note 7, meanwhile, should hit stores in the very near future, complete with a safer (and smaller) battery pack. However, Samsung has not yet announced a release date or launch markets for the refurbished handset.

Ivanka Trump surprised by the 'ferocity' of her father's criticsIvanka Trump said that has been surprised by the "viciousness" and "ferocity" of comments made about her father's presidency. During an interview with "Fox and Friends", Donald Trump's eldest daughter said that it has been hard to stick to her father's policy agenda as investigations into alleged ties between Russia and the Trump campaign continue to be one of the main focuses of media coverage. "I think some of the distractions and some of the ferocity, I was a little blindsided by on a personal level," Ms Trump said.

Philippine troops raise flag as bombs fall on Islamist-held city

Philippine troops raise flag as bombs fall on Islamist-held cityEmbattled Philippine troops struggling to drive Islamist militants from a southern city raised the national flag for Independence Day on Monday, in a tearful ceremony dedicated to the scores killed during the conflict. Thousands of Philippine soldiers, advised by US special forces, are locked in fierce combat with hundreds of insurgents who overran Marawi city on May 23, flying black flags of the Islamic State (IS) group and using up to 2,000 civilians as human shields. As gunfire rang out and planes flew bombing raids to pummel districts of the largely abandoned city, a crowd of soldiers and teary-eyed officials, firemen, police and clerks gathered outside a nearby government building to raise the Philippine flag.
