Reddit user, Turkeylord_2 shared the images of the burned S6 Edge Plus. The burned smartphone was actually owned by his roommate, who later provided the backstory.
While explaining the charger incident, he commented that he was using a Galaxy S6 Edge Plus but was charging it with Galaxy S3 Charger, whose output is 1 A i.e which is quiter lower than that required for Galaxy Edge Plus, however it doesn’t seem that charger is responsible for this fire. Majority of smartphone fires took place due to the faulty batteries or using third party charger. It seems that the battery of the smartphone was having some issue that led to overheating. The victim whose smartphone had caught fire contacted Samsung regarding this issue and the company has assured him to replace his smartphone and will provide compensation for the damaged property.
