When a smartphone suffers a breakdown during the s, especially when its warranty has not expired, one would expect the manufacturer to replace it, as soon as possible. This has never happened to the owner of a defective one Samsung Galaxy S4.

One night, during charging, one Galaxy S4 caught fire, burning her charging. The battery did not explode.

In order to show the type of damage, that user (with the nickname GhostlyRich) posted a video on YouTube. As expected, the clip drew Samsung's attention, but not the way it expected.

Η εταιρεία αποφάσισε να στείλει στο χρήστη ένα e-mail για να τον ενημερώσει ότι θα αντικαταστήσει την ελαττωματική Galaxy S4 με τη προϋπόθεση ότι θα σβήσει το βίντεο από το .

Of course, this user did not. But what he did was to publish a second video with Samsung's extortion.

We quote both videos.
