Supposedly safe Galaxy Note 7 catches fire in China, Samsung tries to offer another as replacement
Apparently, a former firefighter in China recorded a video of his Galaxy Note 7 catching fire and then asked Samsung for explanation; which came in the form of two employees who showed up at his house later that day to offer him a brand new Galaxy Note 7 and around $900 in compensation.
However, in order to receive the money and the new Galaxy Note 7, Zhang Sitong would have to keep the video he recorded private, something that he did not agree.
They said there was no problem with the phones in China. That’s why I bought a Samsung. This is an issue of deception. They are cheating Chinese consumers - said Zhang.
Samsung has been the bread and butter of tech media for weeks now, but that trend doesn't seem to slow down at all as more and more reports show how the South Korean company is trying to handle the Galaxy Note 7 recall.
On top of that, the South Korean company will probably have to deal with a fair share of lawsuits filed by disgruntled customers or companies seeking financial advantages.
