Samsung Galaxy S7 Exploded in its Owner’s Hand Causing Severe Burns
He quickly pulled over and took the phone out. Reports also indicate that the two new smartphones will have an edge-to-edge display and will be the first Galaxy lineup smartphone to ditch physical as well as capacitive buttons for on-screen ones.
According to a written article at Fortune, a man from Winnipeg, capital and largest city of the province of Manitoba in Canada, had his Samsung Galaxy S7 explode on his hands.
Mann says he is returning his phone to Samsung. The device, which was released earlier this year and months before the Galaxy Note 7, comes with high-end processor and graphics performance and costs several hundred dollars at carrier stores. According to industry analysts, Samsung is now working hard to find out the real cause of the fire in both the original and so-called safe handsets.
Nothing is mentioned if Samsung is planning to update it’s 2015 flagship devices with Android Nougat, but there might be many users sitting with their fingers crossed in a hope to receive it. As the battery of the Galaxy Note 7 is the primary reason for the controversy that got the company into trouble, it is also suspected that Samsung will revert back to removable battery for the Galaxy Note 8.
Rumors claim that Samsung will partially adopt the Force Touch Technology into its upcoming Smartphone Galaxy S8 and full adoption is expected to be witnessed in one or two years. He took out the Galaxy S7 in his pocket and the device “exploded right away” in his hands. Mr. Mann has vowed to pursue the case for pain caused to him. Surely it is a bad time for Samsung.
