Galaxy S8 leaks may end here as Note 7 investigation wraps up

If Samsung’s mobile chief can have his way, you likely won’t have much information to go on about the Galaxy S8 from here on out.

Samsung is also claimed to have just finished its investigation on the cause of explosions that accounted for the total recall of the Galaxy Note 7 and is passing along results to Korea Testing Laboratory, United Laboratories and other outside firms.
