Samsung needs to investigate a possible infiltrator. This is not normal.

The S7 and S7 Edge are the same design , water proof , and they dont explode . Something is not Right here .

    LOL. Just buy a 7 Plus. Or a OnePlus 3 if you're still deluded that Android is better.

          Mostly all incidents happening in the US,which is strange..

            this is bad PR for samsung..but if the man was lying about the replaced phone(i really doubt that its a company sabotaging samsung..but if there is, it could be google, or microscoft, especially since nokia becomes independent after this year), then boy is he going to be in a world of pain...people generally ignore requests to turn off phones..thats always there

                AadiRizvi, 06 Oct 2016Hmm if thats the case then why Samsung is not 'sabotaging' ... moreYeah....cause this is their first in house battery....
                And no apple, lg, moto, or htc, or others have ever had similar issues.

                            This is bad, i think the problem is not just the bettery but it is something that is affecting the battery to cause it to burn. It should be reviewed totally, noy just changing the battery.

                              AnonD-361638, 06 Oct 2016Good Point bro.I think someone is doing that on purpose to screw samsung. As this guy says, why always on a plane? For noticeability, run away from Samsung note which is targeted for business people who travel by plane a lot. Competition between corporations is insane and they just want to kill each other... But that's just my opinion...

                                The only way samsung can sell this device in india is to price it at around 50k n launch a blue color here. Otherwise chances r minimal.
