Samsung is gearing up for its Unpacked event that will be held on February 11, where it will likely announce the Galaxy S20 and the Galaxy Bloom, formerly referred to as the Galaxy Fold 2. The company would be laying a lot for this launch to go as smoothly as possible but things are never this simple, are they? Unfortunately for Samsung, a potential PR disaster has struck once again as a Galaxy S7 edge owner claims the phone caught fire without any provocation.

Bangalore's Seema Agarwal purchased her Galaxy S7 edge back in December 2016. According to the report, she claims she has only used the original charger and USB cable since purchasing the phone and that it has never been opened or serviced. In December 2019, she kept the phone on the porch of her house after noticing that it was getting hot. In about 15 seconds, the device went up in flames, even though it wasn’t plugged in. Since the incident, the owner claims she’s very anxious and is thinking about never using such handsets again.
