Ever since Samsung's fire-prone smartphone line came to the scene, even people who had little interest in technology came to know the dangers about the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and owners who bought the device immediately swapped their Galaxy Note 7 for another device in fear of their safety. Sadly, Samsung's fire-prone smartphone line has not yet died out.
The Victim's Story
According to a written article at Fortune, a man from Winnipeg, capital and largest city of the province of Manitoba in Canada, had his Samsung Galaxy S7 explode on his hands. In the interview, Amarjit Mann told the reporters that he was driving in Winnipeg on a beautiful Sunday when he suddenly noticed a "warmth" feeling in one of his pockets. He then checked his pocket and took out his Samsung Galaxy S7 that was in the pocket where the warmth was coming from and the device allegedly "exploded right away" on his hands.
Amarjit Mann is a mechanic by trade. The unfortunate experience that burned his hands and a spark from the smartphone that hit his face just under the eye (which eye is not specified) had him stay out of work for a while until he can fully regain the use of his hands. The doctors who treated him told the reporters that it will take up to nine days for his burned hands to heal.
What He Plans To Do
Samsung Galaxy S7's latest victim plans to sue Samsung for what has happened to him. Amarjit Mann also told the reporters that carrying a Samsung Galaxy S7 is like carrying a bomb and the public must be aware of it. But the public is already aware of it, right? For the past few months, Samsung has been criticized time and time again about their latest smartphones.
Why It Is His Mistake
First and foremost, everyone who owns a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and Galaxy S7 knows the dangers in using it. It is hard to believe that someone with a high-end smartphone that was just released this year has not heard or read the news about how threatening it is to own a Samsung Galaxy Note 7, Galaxy S7, and Galaxy S7 Edge.
It was even announced by Samsung that they will halt the production and sales of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 due to its threat to the owner's safety and surroundings according to Time. Samsung has even offered the owners to be able to exchange their Samsung Galaxy Note 7, Galaxy S7, and Galaxy S7 Edge for other Samsung devices and coupons. With that being said, why would someone use a smartphone that is banned in some countries and is known for its heating and exploding feature?
Final Thoughts
There is no denying that he got hurt and must be compensated, but it is his fault if you think about it. If he claims that he has no knowledge about the dangers of using a Samsung Galaxy S7, then he must be living under a rock. And even if that is true, it is hard to believe, because the Samsung Galaxy S7 is a high-end smartphone that was just released this year and non-stop news about its heating and exploding problem has been reported. It just doesn't make any sense.
