'This phone almost burned my house down,' says Samsung Galaxy S6 owner...

Samsung had a particularly unpleasant 2016, evidently due to the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco, wherein hundreds of smartphones caught fire, reportedly due to an issue pertaining to the device’s battery. The extent of the smartphone’s battery problems was such that the South-Korean technology giant had to follow it up with a global recall of millions of Galaxy Note 7 units, ultimately forcing them to take the smartphone off from the listings. The events caused much damage to Samsung’s brand, in terms of consumers relying on the smartphone manufacturer’s future innovations. In short, Samsung wouldn’t want to face something like this ever again.

However, following the incident and subsequent brand-fixing activities carried out by the firm, there are still many consumers who have reported that their Samsung-branded smartphones are experiencing similar problems, wherein their devices’ batteries are overheating and even catching fire in the process.

On a similar note, a North-West DC-resident, Sylvia Adams recently told NBC4 that her Samsung Galaxy S6 had caught fire in her bedroom. “I was talking on the house phone and then all of a sudden, I heard this sizzle and then I looked and I saw flames,” she said. She revealed the burn marks that the explosion had left on her blanked, top sheet, fitted sheet and mattress. The woman tried knocking the device off her bed, which ended up burning her hardwood floor as well. “This phone almost burned my house down,” she claimed. Full story...
