Another smartphone exploded again, news flash, it is not a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 unit. Explosions of smartphones have been the infamous thread of trend now. Seems like Samsung Galaxy S7 wants to be a tribute and work with Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark as it 'catches fire'.

         As per Computer World, Canadian Elisha Loewen posted some photos of his microwaved-like Galaxy S7 Edge. He said that while he was driving he sensed like something's burning, on his first idea he thought it was his car's engine.

         Elisha Loewen also said on his Google Account, "I pulled over and covered it in snow to snuff the flame. Bell won't refund me or give me a new phone, they said I had to deal directly with Samsung. They wanted me to email them a bunch of photos and stuff, then they said one of their specialists will get back to me. I just want a refund so I can buy a phone that's not a Samsung. "

         Samsung has gone into a really huge trouble, from Samsung Galaxy Note 7 now this, Samsung Galaxy S7. Both of Samsung's top tier phones got the same problem that could probably get the same outcome, worst case scenario, discontinuation.

According to Yahoo when they reported the issue to Samsung, Samsung responded;

"We are unable to comment on this specific incident until we obtain and thoroughly examine the phone. Customer safety remains our highest priority and we want to work with any customer who has experienced an issue with a Samsung product in order to investigate the matter and support them."

         On the other hand, Apple got the same issue, iPhone was reported to allegedly caused the severe vehicular explosion in Australia. As stated in the article, 'for now, this could serve as a free warning for smartphone users to keep their eye on their phone and to avoid overcharging batteries.'
