I expected the article to say what made the phones catch fire.
They're the only place I see regularly where I have to do some workaround to view the content. They clearly have the intention of finding paying users, and I have no interest in paying. Using work-arounds to bypass that brings it more starkly to mind, with a little twinge of almost-guilt each time. It's easier to just skip the story, unless it's something extraordinarily interesting.
Even replacement phones caught fire, they blamed the batteries.
My initial presumption was shoddy batteries+ quick charge 3.0 extra fast charging + hot Qualcomm 820 just to add.
It was first Samsung phone to use quick charge 3.0. If there was a battery defect, rapid charging didn't help.
