Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge display unusable after explosion

Upon inspection, we found that the display is in unusable condition and completely charred. Moreover, the rear side also looks completely damaged. It looks like the customer has used a protective cover on the rear as we can infer from the captures.

Deakin, meanwhile, revealed that she will never purchase a Samsung smartphone going forward. She added that the phone was just sitting on the desk when it exploded. It seems that she was not charging or working with the Galaxy S7 Edge when it exploded.

She concludes by asking her followers to share the post on their wall. As per experts, the explosion could be due to some other factors and not because of faulty battery and overcharging adapters.

Recently, a Samsung Galaxy S7 exploded in a car just after few days after the company recalled the smartphone. Samsung is facing tough times after the explosion and subsequent recall of Galaxy Note 7. Interestingly, Samsung washing machines also caused heavy turbulence and fire in the US.

In the meantime, Samsung will issue an update on December 19, which restricts the charging capacity of the smartphone to 30%. This is because consumers in the US still not returned their handsets and this update will make their handsets pretty unusable. There are reports that Samsung is planning to deactivate Note 7 handsets in circulation using IMEI number.
