This is not the year for the multinational electronics company Samsung. Another replacement Samsung Galaxy Note 7 caught fire in Taiwan.
The South Korean brand has been receiving the ire of people and companies for producing Samsung Galaxy Note 7 with defective batteries. What Samsung did was to recall the units sold to a million customers in the market.
Customers who have returned their Samsung Galaxy Note 7 have been sent replacement phones, but to everybody's surprise, these replacement phones are still blowing up! In Taiwan, a 26-year-old woman was walking her dog when her Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in her rear right pocket started burning, according to Android Headlines.
Ms Lai heard a bang and felt a warm feeling in one of her pockets prompting her to get the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and thrown it on the ground. White smoke appeared, as reported by Ms Lai.
The burnt phone was a replacement phone Ms Lai just got 10 days after returning her Samsung Galaxy Note 7 which she bought just in August. Samsung Taiwan already released a statement saying they are already reaching out to Ms Lai but still could not confirm whether the phone was a replacement or not.
Parent Herald previously reported that a replacement Samsung Galaxy Note 7 also burned in a plane. The smoking of the unit, which was placed in the back pocket of the owner after the cabin crew requested passengers to power all gadgets off, promoted evacuation of the passengers of the flight.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 left in the plane burned through the carpet. The owner said his Samsung Galaxy Note 7 emitted "angry, thick-grey" smoke.The owner, Brian Green, got his replacement phone from an AT & T shop.
Samsung was massively hit by this issue since it issued the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Recalls have caused millions of money to the company. But what is more important is the health of their customers. With the replacement phones still exploding, customers should think whether they will get another replacement or just get a refund. Any gagdet is not worth dying for.
