After the Note 7 fiasco, a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge owner in the US has claimed that the device which he received as a replacement for the Note 7 exploded while charging.
According to the PhoneArena website, the person went to a popular US wireless carrier's store with a damaged Samsung Galaxy S7 edge -- the highest-selling device from the South Korean tech giant.
The customer claimed he received the unit two weeks ago after turning in his replacement Note 7 smartphone (version 2 with the "safe" battery).
"According to the owner, it was charging overnight using the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) charger," the report added.
Last month, a construction worker in Ohio sued Samsung after his Galaxy S7 edge exploded.
"The victim suffered second and third degree burns and had to go through painful skin grafts," PhoneArena reported.
Three US customers from different states -- Nevada, Pennsylvania and California - have already complained about the fire-prone Note 7 devices and may go for a class-action lawsuit against Samsung.
