The Note 7's hardware issues are most likely related to battery issues. Rechargeable batteries are the chief cause of explosions and overheating issues in a variety of devices, from smartphones to hoverboards.

The battery in the Note 7 is made by Samsung SDI, its battery arm.

Word started going around that the phone's batteries were faulty after a user named Ariel Gonzalez uploaded a video to YouTube earlier this week claiming that his phone caught fire after he unplugged it from the charger supplied with the handset.

Samsung's Facebook page in Singapore has been inundated with hysterical complaints demanding an explanation for the recall. Some users have also noted that battery life on their new Note 7 has not been lasting long and some are saying their devices get noticeably warmer to the touch while charging.
