Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G explodes; it is not another Galaxy Note 7

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is reportedly selling well and it is doing better than many had expected. But the foldable just might be too hot. Ask Chad Christian, who teaches people how to trade stocks, options, and cryptocurrency. We have no idea how his strategies have been faring lately, but no stock he’s recommended could have been as hot as his Galaxy Z Fold 3. According to a tweet he disseminated on Monday, Christian was preparing to box up the phone to send it back to Samsung for repair after it fell off his bike shattering the screen.

But as he was boxing it up, the phone exploded and smoke started to come out of the device. Christian was not harmed. Of course, many of you reading this probably had a flashback to the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 which exploded in several high profile incidents including once on an airplane while it was on the ground. After a trip back to the drawing board, Samsung released what it thought was a safer version of the device but even those models started exploding.

This seems to be an isolated event although Christian did bring up a scary hypothetical question. “Can you imagine,” he asked, “if it did this in shipping.” Since the phone was dropped prior to the explosion, the fall could have damaged something inside the handset.

Even Christian himself believes this to be a “one and done” issue as he tweeted, “For the record this phone (which I just came back from a Samsung repair center where they said to just mail it in for replacement) fell off my bike a week or so ago. I am sure it had integrity damage which caused this. I don’t suspect this is a Note 7 type issue….” Samsung reportedly assigned a team dedicated to Christian and is sending him a pre-addressed box to return the burnt Galaxy Z Fold 3 in.
