In case of batteries manufactured by Samsung SDI (battery A)
The batteries easily bent from the right corner which made the positive and negative electrode to meet hence caused burns and explosion.
In case of batteries manufactured by Local Chinese Vendor (Battery B)
The issue in Battery B was due to manufacturing default. These result mean that the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is officially dead and we'll not see much stories regarding the same in future.
