Very bad. What's the cause?

Damn, thats scary!!! :cry:

Dont know excessive heat maybe..

Jokes apart, Seriously Horrified by the incident.. :shock:

Could be the lithium ion batteries....remember nokia faced similar issue few years ago where some phones started exploding....maybe something similar with samsung...

^ Nokia BL 5C ,to be exact.

Man its too much demanding what we do with these phones. Internet is ON 24 hours, its always looking for new Gmail, emails, google talk, facebook , fb messenger, whatsapp & god knows what......eating up the battery all the time

the most scary part is its unpredictable when it explodes...so have to look out for excess heat symptoms,smoke etc

That is scary. But more often than not such cases end pin-points to some mis-use by the user.

just when samsung was starting to boom in the smart phone market....

S3 replaces C4. :haha:

Do you have no sense? Why the hell did you post that graphic image of the burns? You're lucky not to get an infraction. DO NOT post graphic content, whether it is violence, injuries, porn or anything that is not safe for work (NSFW).

@Nanducob at least spoiler those pics!

There should be a heat sensor or something that needs to be in mobile.
If it gets overheat (coz of constant use), the mobile should alert the user just like showing "Low battery" notifications.

I think the whole incident just happened abruptly.If heat was building gradually,she might have noticed it eventually and should have taken it from her pocket.So if thats the case a heat sensor would be less likely of any help.

I think mobiles already have heat sensors. My Atrix has heat sensors as per Android tuner.
And I has governed the clock as per the temperature ranges.

Didn't a similar case occurred last year.
Turns out it was deliberately placed in microwave.

We shouldn't jump to conclusions.
