Samsung S7 Edge allegedly explodes while charging

PanARMENIAN.Net - In yet more bad news for Samsung, there are now reports circulating of a Galaxy S7 Edge exploding while charging, Digital Spy said.

Phone Arena has received images of a customer's fire-hardened Edge. And in an unfortunate turn of events, that particular Edge was actually a replacement handset for their Note 7.

Samsung has been hit with a number of problems after multiple Note 7s decided to burst into flames of their own accord.

And even after being discontinued and resigned to landfill for all eternity, the Note 7 has still had a rough time of it.

There's been flight bans aplenty (for die-hard daredevil fans), a Halloween costume, a GTA prank and even an almighty burn from the US President himself, Barack Obama, Digital Spy said.

It's not all bad news, though. Samsung confirmed on Monday (October 24) that it will allow South Korean customers who've opted to trade in their Note 7s either a Galaxy S8 or Note 8 through an upgrade programme when the new handset launches next year.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 has been tipped to boast everything from a new, revamped design to a faster processor.

It's also suggested that the phone will rock a curved, edge-to-edge display as standard, as well as an improved camera and new TouchWiz OS.
