Samsung may source batteries from Japan's Murata for the Galaxy S8

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S8 smartphone may be powered by batteries from Japan's Murata Manufacturing. 

According to Reuters, the Nikkei business daily claims that Samsung is currently discussing a deal with Murata to get batteries for the Galaxy S8 phones. If a deal is reached, Murata may replace Amperex as one of the two battery suppliers.

Amperex and Samsung SDI were the two suppliers for the faulty batteries in the Galaxy Note7 last year, which resulted in two recalls and the eventual demise of the product. In a press conference held on 23 January, Samsung assured consumers that it has implemented several internal quality and safety processes to further enhance product safety for its upcoming products.
