Samsung is in the news after a Galaxy S24 user in South Korea said their phone suddenly caught fire while they were using it. The user shared the incident online (via Reddit) and said they were simply browsing the internet when the phone started swelling very fast.

Soon after, smoke started coming out of the phone. The device then became extremely hot and exploded in the user’s hand. According to the user, the bottom part of the phone broke open during the explosion, which may have helped prevent more serious injuries.

The person suffered small burns on their hand and later went to the hospital because they breathed in smoke. The user also said the incident caused stress and trouble sleeping.
