Samsung Galaxy S4 catches fire while charging as UAE owner sleeps
By

Vicky Kapur

Published Tuesday, July 09, 2013

A proud owner of the new Samsung Galaxy S4 got the fright of her life when she woke up one fine night last month only to find her one-month-old smartphone, which she’d plugged in for charging overnight, “burning” in the middle of the night.

“I cannot explain to you my extreme frustration, disappointment and extreme fear when I found my brand new Samsung Galaxy S4 burning at the charger connection to the phone,” the abu Dhabi-based Sarah Shurrab, who bought the new Galaxy S4 from an Etisalat shop, wrote to Samsung, and emailed a copy of the same to Emirates 24|7.

Wireless Charging Pad

**Requires 2Amp charger to function, sold separately. Check the label on the charger that came with your handset to verify it is 2Amp. Compatible with all Qi-enabled smartphones

With the Samsung Wireless Charging Pad, you can charge your phone without disconnecting/reconnecting cables to your handset every time you pick up your phone to use and put it back down to charge. Simply place your phone on the Wireless Charging Pad and it will begin charging. The LED indicator on the charging pad will turn green if your phone is properly charging or will turn yellow if your phone is not in the correct placement on the pad in order to charge effectively. The mobile charging pad requires that your device supports wireless charging. For Galaxy S 4, make sure you have installed the Wireless Charging Cover to enable wireless charging on your device.

$49.99
