It's quite an unfortunate series of events for Samsung's Galaxy Note 7, now infamous for bursting into flames and giving the person holding it an epic burn. Literally. A stress test on the Galaxy Note 7 to see how much pressure it could withstand showed terrifying results - the fully charged device first had smoke coming out of it and eventually burst into flames. The lab test was conducted at the Applied Energy Hub in a Singapore lab.
After the test, the battery was completely fried.
After people took to social media to report the matter, a global recall of Note 7s soon followed. But before much progress at salvaging the situation could be made, a replacement model started giving off smoke while on a flight in the US.
In a statement to Reuters, Samsung made it clear that the replacement process of the Note 7 is what is priority for them. Unfortunately, some people have come back saying even the replacement phones get too hot too quickly.
