And above we said that the batteries of smartphones stopped exploding, news comes that a battery from a Samsung model not only exploded, but also set fire to car and nearly killed its owner as well.
This time, however, it's not clear which Samsung model is responsible, as the owner owned two phones, a Galaxy S4 and a Galaxy S8. So it is difficult to determine which of the two eventually exploded and destroyed a Nissan Maxima. Samsung is already investigating the case and will likely give us more soon information.
Our information comes from WXYZ of Detroit, and states that a female driver who maintains her anonymity just as he has been trying to do aside and stop her car before the flames wrap it up. The incident happened in the morning of 21 May when a woman was driving her car with the two phones in a cup holder.
Although the lack of evidence may raise doubts about this incident, the Detroit Fire Department has confirmed it, but without giving details of the conduct of the researchs.
On the other hand, her lawyer, Gerald Thurswell, says the driver after the incident has trouble sleeping and says he has already contacted the phone maker.
Good news for Samsung is that it has not been treated so far. The bad news is that if Galaxy S8 is the cause of the fire then the news may cause new concerns to Samsung phone owners.
