Yeah man, I'm very disappointed in Samsung for this. They want to push their devices out so fast they are literally over looking the well being of their customers. Apple never had the "exploding battery" issue.

Samsung is recalling the Galaxy Note 7 worldwide

Samsung is recalling its new Galaxy Note 7 smartphone worldwide after reports of the device catching fire while charging.
The recall of one of Samsung Electronics' flagship devices is an embarrassing setback for the world's biggest selling smartphone maker. The Note 7 was unveiled just a month ago.

Samsung (SSNLF) said it had found a problem with the battery in some of the phones and was halting sales. It will replace all 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7s that have been sold with a new product regardless of when they were purchased.

A man was left with third-degree burns after his iPhone 5C spontaneously exploded in his pocket during his cousin's wake.

Erik Johnson had to spend ten days at a specialist burns unit after the mobile melted through his trousers and stuck to his skin on Valentine's Day.

Mr Johnson, from Long Island, New York, said he was bending over to get keys when he heard a 'pop'.

'My leg just started going on fire,' he told ABC.

'I had to rip my pants off. A couple of people actually said they could smell my body burning.

Mr Johnson was left with a huge wound on his upper left thigh and now has to have his bandages changed twice a day by nurses.

One picture of the phone shows how high temperatures caused its metal case to weld with the plastic, as well as warping the screen.

Experts have said the phones can explode if their circuit boards are damaged or a different charger is used.

Samsung to Recall 2.5 Million Galaxy Note 7s Over Battery Fires

By PAUL MOZUR and SU-HYUN LEESEPT. 2, 2016

HONG KONG — Samsung Electronics said on Friday that it would replace about 2.5 million new high-end smartphones it had sent to stores and consumers after reports that some had caught fire, in a blow to its effort to match the success of the Apple iPhone.

The recall covers an unprecedented number of smartphones for the industry, which is broadly grappling with slowing demand and intense competition.

Samsung, of South Korea, said on Friday that the recall involved its Galaxy Note 7, an oversize smartphone with the same curved edges that have given other Samsung phones a considerable sales lift. It released the Note 7 last month.

“We acknowledge the inconvenience this may cause in the market but this is to ensure that Samsung continues to deliver the highest quality products to our customers,” Samsung said in a statement. “We are working closely with our partners to ensure the replacement experience is as convenient and efficient as possible.”

The company said that thus far 35 battery episodes have been registered. It will take about two weeks for replacement phones to be made, it said.

The recall, which is being undertaken in 10 countries where the phones have been selling, marks a major blow to Samsung, which has recently seen its fortunes improve after years of tough competition from Apple on the high -end and new Chinese brands on the lower end.

From a marketing perspective, it comes at an inopportune time. Its biggest competitor for top-end phones, Apple, is set to show off its newest version of the iPhone next week. Samsung’s sales and financial results have benefited from the release of the latest Galaxy phones, which have smooth, tapered edges that make it more comfortable to hold.

The Note 7 measures 5.7 inches diagonally, making it a large phone sometimes referred to as a phablet — a combination of phone and tablet. It sells in the United States for about $900 to $1,000 without subsidies from a wireless carrier.
