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.

all reply tarak guna otak doh.gif

1. depending on location -> if their place is hotter than ours, what do you think will happen if they charge it overnight all the time for a long period of time.

2a. depending on how she use the phone -> if she on data then go to sleep (yes some ppl are really that dumb + overnight charge = overheat = burn lah)
2b. maybe she dunno how to use her phone, you know. used and talk a little while showering (assuming she already wiped off her hand, she tot it was dry but actually still got water molecules on her palm)

3. depending on the battery quality -> nothing is perfect, even those ifag devices have defects out of the box (iphone5 especially -- scraped off metal parts whistling.gif whistling.gif )
