Burning phones are happening with the Galaxy Note 7, and it is a really big story to talk about. For somehow, the phones are burning, and causing lots of incidents. This leads to deaths, and injuries all around the world. The reason is because of the batteries inside, and how it explodes. Samsung uses lithium ion to make the batteries, and the batteries are packed together, making it more portable, thinner, and lighter. But, it also causes problems to people who use it. The batteries inside are under pressure because they want it to be more portable, but the batteries go into each other, and short-circuits. And when it short-circuits, it gets warmer and explodes! After 35 reported incidents of explosions, Samsung decided to call all phones back to them, refunding about 1 million to 2.5 million phones. They then had replacements, supposedly to be safe, but still they burned up. Now, Samsung has stopped all phones from going on sale, so there is no more trouble. In my opinion, they should test their phones more, before selling them.
There are lots of stories about this incident, but the article I used is https://www.cnet.com/news/why-is-samsung-galaxy-note-7-exploding-overheating/
Thanks for reading, David C.
Even with the Galaxy Note 7's "explosive" sales, Samsung might need to do something, so that when people buy their Galaxy Note 8 they don't think it will explode in their pockets.
