    It does not take a genius to figure out that the owner did not use a legit charger. Overvoltage damages phones in different ways. I seriously doubt that anything is wrong with the GS3 apart from its defective high price.
    Stop blaming a solid product people. Get an original charger or, at least, check for correct voltage. I use a Sony Ericsson NeoV running ICS 4.0.3 so no fan hardknocks please.

              Well it was expected from a phone that mimics the elements of nature. And looks like they didn't miss out on fire.

                          this is what happens when you use a cheap car charger from china for a penny.
