Hello . Here is my S7edge dous sim that exploded last night without being plug to electricity. Now let’s imagine I had this phone in my pocket or on my chest before the incident , it would have practically damaged my body
I had to deep this phone inside a bucket of water to stop the explosion . We have to be very careful with this gadget especially when we have kids around
