Samsung's attempt to rush the production of its Galaxy Note 7 flagship has proven to be quite disastrous. Because of the massive controversy surrounding its Note line of smartphones, the South Korean-based manufacturer is now probably taking its time with the production, particularly for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 model.

To prevent something like this from happening again, Samsung, according to The Investor, is now looking into other new potential partners for its battery. And the latest company, so far, is the LG Chem.

Word has it that Samsung is now in the talks with LG Chem to produce the batteries that they will use for the presumed 2017 handset, Samsung Galaxy Note 8. "The talks have not yet been completed but it seems highly likely for the two firms to sign a deal," an anonymous industry insider said.

Samsung's move has certainly surprised many tech enthusiasts, considering that LG has been one of the most closest competition that the company have inside South Korea. However, it seems like tech giant is now willing to do anything to ensure the future of Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and that it won't suffer the same fate the Note 7 had after its launch.

If this deal moves forward, however, GSM Arena noted that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be the first ever smartphone from the company to ever come out with an LG-made battery under its hood. But of course, since everything has yet to be made official, fans are being advised to keep an open mind for the time being.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 specifications

To make the next-generation Galaxy Note more enticing than the now phased out Note 7, Samsung may need to equip it with even more powerful components under its hood. And rumor has it that the South Korean tech giant might use Qualcomm's next-gen Snapdragon 830 to power up the Galaxy Note 8 - or even an advanced in-house Exynoss processor - along with 6GB of Random Access Memory.

In terms of display, there is a good chance that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 might sport a 5.7-inch screen either with a Quad HD display or the more advanced 4K display graphics.
