Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has made an interesting unit sales among it’s rivals on 2013. Great sales that would literally blow up your mind! Impressive hot phones are sold like hotcakes. But man, it does get so hot and reportedly explode like a bombshell!
On Thursday, Senior Pastor Stephen Go Tan reportedly said his wife’s Samsung Note 3 literally exploded as her battery bloated and combusted.
According to Tan, her wife Cindy apparently felt the heat with her phone then decided to put it down afterwhich just exploded unexpectedly.
The battery’s phone with removable back case scattered outward then broke out.
Cindy hasn’t caught any faulty injuries which made her husband seemed to be thankful for.
Where reported cases of Samsung phone’s explosion were mostly caused by prolong heat related with charger accidents or sunlight, Cindy’s phone was in the cool air-conditioned bedroom all night and exploded this 8:15 morning.
“It was not charging at the time, she was holding it in her hand,” he added.
The phone which got a significant damage was bought in Korea, but Tan still hoping Samsung local stores here will replace the phone since it is still under warranty.
UPDATE: Samsung’s promptness was greatly appreciated
Prior to the negative claims ranted that it was a fake smartphone, Tan posted that the Note 3 was bought in Seoul, Korea from a licensed Samsung store in Sept. 2014.
“The battery was an original Samsung battery and was not charging and it was not charged overnight. The phone was on top of the night stand (uncovered) all night. It was used in the cool of the air-conditioned bedroom at the beginning of the day when it suddenly heated up,” he added.
According to Tan, he was pleased the company was prompt in providing assistance and the replacement was given already.
“Samsung has taken [the phone] and it is under investigation by their technical team.”
“We have been a “Samsung family” for many years and have never had issues with their phones or tablets before.” Tan added.
