A new report has come in (via Bloomberg) that a Chinese man’s brand new Galaxy Note 7 exploded after he got the new phone from a web site called JD.com.  The explosion caused burns on two of the man’s fingers and damaged a MacBook.
A Samsung representative allegedly visited the man in person and asked to take the phone, but Hui refused, as he didn’t trust Samsung to expose the reason for the fire. He’s now trying to publicize the matter.
In an email to Bloomberg, Samsung said it was
“Currently contacting the customer and planning to conduct a thorough examination of the device in question once we receive it.”
It is not known if the web site where the man got the phone from was on the recall list or if the establishment gave him a newer phone.
