Samsung Galaxy Note 7 explosion has been quite a topic these days, isn’t it? And even after the company’s effort of re-qualifying their smartphones, there has been just another incident recently….
Samsung Galaxy Note7 explosion: Another incident reported
In case you don’t know yet, after more than 35 units of Samsung Galaxy Note7 were reported to have exploded, the brand has announced the Note7 recall in all countries – except China. The reason why the units released in China are safe from the recall is that the batteries of these units are made by Amperex Technology Ltd, which is not the faulty supplier according to the result of Samsung investigation.
After the recall, this company is in charge of supplying the battery for ALL Samsung Galaxy Note7 units that return to the market. However, before this brand is able to gain back the trust from customers, there has been another case. Hui Renjie, a user from China – where Note7 is labelled “safe”, has just reported that his Note7 has exploded while in use, burning two of his fingers and damaging his Macbook nearby.
CNN then approached this guy and were able to receive some photos of the remains of his Samsung Galaxy Note7. They also took proof of the damaged Macbook. According to Hui Renjie, after the incident, a representative from Samsung paid him a visit and requested to take the mobile away for further investigation. Mr. Hui then didn’t agree and claimed that he would spread this case to the media.
Samsung Galaxy Note7 explosion: The scandal goes on!
The international Samsung Galaxy Note7 recall and replacement were supposed to be the last thing Samsung can do to reinforce its reputation. Unfortunately, with this new scandal, it is getting extra harder for the Note7 to return to the market successfully. So far, Samsung has not made any statement about the new incident, yet. The brand is still keeping in touch with the unlucky user. Hopefully, they will come up with a convincing solution in the near future.
