The phone was charging when it started to smoke, before bursting into flames, he said.
A Samsung representative visited Renjie to obtain the phone for investigation but he declined, fearing the company wouldn’t reveal the real reason for the fire. Renjie told Bloomberg he planned to publicize the incident.
Renjie provided several photos, a receipt and a video (the latter two weren’t published online) of the destroyed Note7 to CNNMoney, which you can see at the top of this story and below.
