A couple in Hong Kong had a narrow escape when a Samsung Galaxy S 4 smartphone exploded in their apartment, leading to a massive fire in their home.
Chinese website Xianguo.com reported that a man named Du was playing the 'Love Machine' game on the smartphone, when he heard a sudden pop from the device. He immediately threw the handset onto a couch which burst into flames. This triggered a bigger fire, causing the entire apartment to burn down. It reportedly took nearly 30 minutes for firefighters to douse the fire.
Luckily, Du and his wife managed to escape safely.
Du claimed that the accessories he used in the phone, including the battery charger were official Samsung devices and not duplicate. A Samsung Hong Kong official will investigate into the incident to confirm if the explosion was caused by the handset.
