Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on fire- it is nothing new. It has been making headlines in recent weeks. However, there’s a case of a Galaxy Note 7 catching fire physically – and it’s not a joke! Let’s take a look at this story, shall we?
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on fire: What caused this?
As we all know, Samsung has been in the spotlight recently. The Galaxy Note 7 hype is unbelievable, we can see headlines like “Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on fire” everywhere. However, besides all the good things that have already been said and reported, this news is a little bit unpleasant for Samsung. Some images on the Chinese social media website Baidu showed us a Galaxy Note 7, only a few weeks old – as the poster claimed, burnt and damaged heavily after what seems to be an explosion.
What caused the explosion to make this Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on fire? Nothing is certain at this point, and there’s not much information about this case. However,from the pictures, we can see that the holder of the damaged Note 7 (we assumed that to be the owner too) used Micro USB to USB-C adapter. And apparently, the adapter caught on fire.
For this “Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on fire” story, there are some explanations. First, of course, is the use of third-party charging wires and adapters, which many manufacturers advise against doing so. Also, the phablet in question may not even be a legit Note 7 – on the front, there’s no Samsung logo above the screen. Furthermore, Note 7 is not even officially released to customers yet (customers who pre-ordered will receive the device early September), only a handful of reviewers got their hands on this device. The last theory is that the fault lies in Samsung’s device. If this is the case, it would be big trouble for the Korean giant manufacturer.
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on fire: Should you worry about this?
In any case, you shouldn’t panic just yet. For now, this is the only report of a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on fire. And it is very likely that this is not because of Samsung, but rather third-party manufacturers (wires, adapters, even fake Note 7). Even if this is truly Samsung’s fault, we believe that they will take appropriate action to prevent this from happening. So for now, let’s just wait and anticipate the release of Note 7, which will be very soon. Stay tune with us for more updates!
