Samsung S7 Edge explodes in teacher's hands in middle of busy cafe

RING OF FIRE - Samsung S7 smartphone overheated and then EXPLODED in teacher’s hands in the middle of busy cafe A SAMSUNG Galaxy S7 owner fears she could have been killed as it overheated in her hand and exploded. Supply teacher Sarah Crockett, 30, told how the phone blew up in a busy cafe even though it was not being charged. Similar incidents have been reported previously when the phones are on charge, although a case like Sarah’s has also emerged in the US. And experts say it could spark a fresh crisis for Samsung. The South Korean giant has already had to issue a full recall of its latest handset, the £750 Note 7, after devices burst into flames when charging. Mum-of-two Sarah, 30, was with husband Matt, 29, when her three-month-old mobile started to balloon in size before melting in clouds of white smoke in Witham, Essex. A Samsung spokesman said: “There are no known safety issues with Galaxy S7 devices. “This issue is currently being investigated and our customer services team is in contact with the customer regarding the matter.” | The Sun via IFTTT
