Furthermore, the company expanded its Product Liability Centers which, according to Lee, will allow the smartphone manufacturer to quickly respond to any potential incidents. All of the measures outlined above were clearly implemented to prevent another Galaxy Note 7 fiasco which reportedly cost the company billions of dollars. Samsung's investigation revealed several problems regarding the batteries made by its suppliers Samsung SDI and Amperex Technology Limited, which resulted in the implementation of new measures and testing procedures to ensure product safety. Nonetheless, it is clear that Samsung Electronics is now on the road to recovery, with Galaxy S8 preorders setting record numbers in the smartphone manufacturer's home country of South Korea. Samsung is banking on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus to help regain its foothold in the premium smartphone market, which was negatively affected by the lack of high-end products in late 2016.
