The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 saga is long gone, but the South Korean firm can’t really leave the whole thing behind, as new models catch fire occasionally for no clear reason.
The latest to be involved in such an incident is a Galaxy S7 Edge, which froze and shut down unexpectedly when the owner wanted to take a picture.

Based in Morocco, the Samsung customer explains that the device failed to turn back on and a few seconds later it “spontaneously went up in flames.”

“I had a couple nearby towels catch fire too, thought my kitchen was gonna burn down for a moment,” reddit user rokhana explains.

Samsung originally refused to replace the phone because the device was already out of warranty, but after the incident gained more exposure, both Samsung US and Samsung Morocco got involved.

“They apologized and said the issue should have been better handled by the store,” the phone owner says.
