Mumbai: Ariel Tolfree, a thirteen-year-old youngster woke up with her burnt Samsung Galaxy S4. She had placed her smartphone under her white pillow and fell off to sleep and after a couple of hours, she found it burning.
Seeing the unrecognisable condition of the Samsung Galaxy S4, her parents contacted the company. Samsung investigated on this and claims that the reason for this is the use of a cheap quality battery and not the original Samsung battery. The third battery overheated throughout the night and swelled, thus causing the Galaxy S4 to burn through the pillow under which it was placed. As reported by Fox4 news, Samsung has agreed to replace the Galaxy S4 as well as the mattress and the pillow.
