The owner was Mr Yulianto, aged 47. 'Mr Yulianto immediately removed his shirt after the phone exploded. He had no significant injuries.' Samsung has been plagued by more than 100 incidents of exploding phones, causing it ot Jo Semidang, Corporate Marketing Director of Samsung Electronics Indonesia, told local media that they were now investigating the incident.

Kb27 Supersonic October 6, 2017 Author Share October 6, 2017 (edited) Non-replaceable battery does not mean no problem. However, it's more controlled by the phone manufacturer, since it's harder to replace with a 3rd party one. Iphone 8 reports of phone splitting open http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2017/10/02/apple-investigates-reports-iphone-8-phones-splitting-open/ It split open bcuz of bulging battery The problem is the lithium-ion battery which is vulnerable to runaway overheating.

Ct3833 Supersonic October 6, 2017 Share October 6, 2017 This is surely not captured by a CCTV, the camera is not secured stationary but keeps moving while filming. Im addition, why would someone wants to film a person for nothing unless he is expecting something to happen ? The one capturing the clip was expecting the explosion to happen ? Did the guy wear the white T shirt for protection purpose while filming? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ct3833 Supersonic October 7, 2017 Share October 7, 2017 The camera was filming on a monitor replaying the beedio.Thanks for pointing that out! Now i see it. Someone pointed out in yahoo saying his Indo friend told him it was because of a lighter leak in the same pocket that resulted in the explosion. If that was true, it could be because the phone was over heated to cause the lighter gas to expand and then leak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way the incident happened, i would also be inclined to believe theres some flammable liquid/gas combustion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was true, it could be because the phone was over heated to cause the lighter gas to expand and then leak. I also think somethink was leaking then the phone ignited it. My Note 7 did catch fire and it doesn't burn like that. It gets really hot and the phone bloats up first before you see the flames. So he would have felt a burning feeling before the flames came out. My iphone also burn the same way. Slowly bloat up and get super hot first before bursting into flames.
