The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G caught on fire

The last two weeks there was only one thing left: the Samsung Galaxy Fold. The folding device of the South Korean manufacturer was ready to be launched and reviewers could already use it. This soon discovered that the display is breaking rather quickly. Result: all planes had to return and the launch was postponed. A drama for the producer to which new problems are added.

A South Korean user of the Galaxy S10 5G has released a photo of his camera. You would not think anything special if the smartphone is not completely unrecognizable on the photo. This has nothing to do with a bad picture or an incorrect exposure, but with the fact that the smartphone is completely worn out. According to the Korean, he did nothing crazy with the device and broke it without flames.

Lee told AFP that his phone was just on the table when he started spontaneously.

"My phone was on the table when it suddenly started to smell fire and smoke. Before I realized it, I dropped the camera on the floor because it was too hot to hold.

Once the problem solved, he picked up the camera and saw exactly what we see in the photo.

Samsung denies the problem

The story is getting closer to the fiasco that the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 brought in 2016. The smartphone had to be pulled off the market because too many devices caught fire. The problem with the variant Galaxy S10 5G is very close in this respect.

However, Samsung does not seem to recognize the problem. The producer refused to reimburse Lee 's device because it was an external impact. According to Samsung, the incident did not come from an internal problem. Although this is the only thing we can really think about. The information on this case being extremely rare, we must wait for new developments.
