Well, it's that time of year again. Time for another samsung explosion.

Here, we have the S7 (normal, not Note) exploding.

 

What do you guys think will happen to Samsung now?

This is crazy. Over 100 Samsung Note 7s explode. Then 5 different iPhone 7's explode. Now S7s? I think the lesson here is, avoid products with the number 7!

Most phones have at least one report of this.

Honestly the chances of it being either a scam, a guy who doesn't know what phone he owns, or user error are much higher than those of it actually being defective. The S7 has been out for like 9 months, it only took like 9 days for people to have exploding Note7s. He probably either damaged his phone or owns a Note7 that someone told him was an S7 when they sold it to him lmao

[RollinLower]

their market share will drop a bit, but samsung is much too big of a company to just go bankrupt because of this. their smartphone department is just part of the entire samsung company.

 

i wonder why nobody is talking about those exploding iphone 7's?

The problem is that the phones exploded while they were being shipped off.

 

Quote

"Last month, an employee at one of the big four wireless carriers who requested to remain anonymous, told mobile phone site Phone Arena that a Galaxy S7 had exploded and was being shipped off to Samsung for evaluation. That revelation followed similar reports from Galaxy S7 owners who said their devices had exploded, as well."

This is the second holocaust.

Seriously I wonder what happens with these phones lately, not just Samsung but Apple too. I mean any phone can explode, though what's the issue, I wouldn't  say faulty batteries, something in device connectors and such. They still don't know what's wrong with Note 7 now right?
Also, when are those new type of batteries coming that are to have larger capacity in same size and also won't be hazard or dangerous?

[SansVarnic]

Again with the exploding ...  

 

 

 

Seriously though change the title its click baity, and use a better word like burning it is more accurate.

On a serious note, I believe this isn't the first case for S7.

Because they were from people leaving them in a car at an Australian beach.

Well, for all the spying my Chinaphone is apparently doing on me, at least it has a replaceable, slow-charging, short-life, older technology non-exploding battery.

[SansVarnic]

Nokia phones never burned or exploded.

hm, no pictures?  You just might be right about that.  He probably has a Note 7 and doesn't even know better.

Yeah, some shady guy probably sold him one to get rid of it and he bought it thinking "o nice what a cheap S7" lol

 

Still, not denying the fact that it could be true. If it is, likely an isolated issue or a damaged phone

I may be wrong but from what I've noticed it's more prevalent in devices with tightly packed non removable batteries and newer charging tech.

I've seen some reports it may be due to, that reason, reason being that batteries in those devices may get squished on corners of device cause devices get rounded at edges and may squish battery a bit, and batteries are in soft wraps these days so... yeah, who knows.
