Not wanting a repeat Note 7, Samsung will apparently turn to a third party battery manufacturer and design team. Sources mention of a strong chance LG will supply smartphone batteries to Samsung starting next year. Although, the company tried to refrain from using LG due to "pride." Since it takes six months to design, test and manufacture new smartphone batteries, the first model that could be powered by LG batteries may be the Galaxy Note 8.
