Smartphones exploding isn’t exactly a
frequent occurrence, but when something like this does happen, it
manages to become a hotly debated topic across the internet. However, it
seems one case of a Samsung phone exploding might have gone unnoticed
since October. A CBC News report has revealed that a Galaxy Ace
exploded next to Hope Casserly - an Ontario University student - while
she was sleeping, an incident that was only reported on Monday this
week. The phone was not charging and was simply resting still on the
girl’s bedside; the battery exploded and caused her bed to catch fire,
but she thankfully managed to put it out with her pillow.
Samsung has reportedly replaced the
device for her and has sent the damaged device back to South Korea for
investigation. Casserly is also asking Samsung to pay for damaged
bedding and mattress, which together cost over CAD 1,000, and it’s like
the Korean manufacturer will oblige with that demand given the severity
of the whole incident.
