The latest flagship phablet Samsung Galaxy Note7, announced on 2 August and went on sale a few days ago, is fraught with considerable danger to the health of its owner. The first recorded case of the fire phone, which was caused by a problem with the power circuit.
Samsung has not yet responded to the case with the burnt Galaxy Note7, but the owner had posted a colorful photo melted an expensive cell phone. Details about the incident he did not disclose, saying only that it happened during charging of the smartphone from complete memory, in which emphasis was placed. However, a number of images, and they were more than a dozen, perfect view of the adapter with USB on microUSB C which is obviously not included in the standard equipment. This implies that the charger was hardly supplied, which probably was the cause of the ignition means.
By itself, the Samsung Galaxy Note7 proved to be extremely high quality, especially with regard to the internal electronics: he’s got a relatively high score on a scale of repairability from iFixit and proved that even the flagship model is easy to repair with minimal cost of time and money due to the modular design. But still, the world isn’t ready to abandon the microUSB in favor of USB C, and many owners of modern devices use chargers with adapters, thereby exposing themselves to the risk of losing the cell phone and to burns.
