A woman was filmed holding a replacement for her Samsung phone as it emitted plumes of smoke after the company recalled her Galaxy Note 7 because others had reported the model catching fire.

Dee Decasa from Honolulu, Hawaii, was sent the handset by Galaxy after a global recall of its Galaxy Note 7 in September. 

She had been using the replacement for one day when it began sparking and emitting smoke in her hand. 

Footage filmed inside the home she shares with her husband, Mel, showed the woman walking around with it in her hand, a cloud of smoke appearing around it.

She was not hurt despite being seen to fall over after putting it in the kitchen.  

Samsung has recalled the phones which were issued as intended safe replacements for the original batch of Note 7s which burst into flames when overheated. 

Engineers have still not been able to identify what was causing the models to catch fire. 

They earlier blamed the fires on a fault in the phones’ batteries. 

This week, as reports the replacement phones were also dangerous emerged, South Korean safety authorities said the defect lay elsewhere and urged customers to stop using the models. 

‘We would have not taken this measure if it had looked like things could end so easily. 

‘It will take more time than we expected’ to find the cause of the problems,’ Oh Yu-cheon, a senior official at the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards that oversees product recalls, said.

The first reports of Galaxy Note 7s exploding came in August. 

Since then there have been more than 90 separate reports of the phones exploding across the US.

On Tuesday the technology company cancelled the line, cerita sex dewasa a move which cost them $17billion. 

Earlier this month, an independent lab posted images show a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 exploding into flames after pressure was applied to the lithium ion battery

Samsung’s troubled Galaxy Note 7 has been subject to a mass product recall following reports of exploding batteries.

However, the lab responsible for the test has since claims that ‘any phone’ would suffer the same fate if subjected to the test.

The photos emerged just a day after a replacement model reportedly began giving off smoke inside a plane.

The incident occurred on a Southwest Airlines flight to Baltimore from Louisville, Kentucky.

The test was carried out at the Applied Energy Hub battery laboratory in Singapore.

WHY ARE LITHIUM BATTERIES SO DANGEROUS? 

 Lithium batteries are use in a range of consumer electronic devices, favored by manufacturers because they are lightweight and pack much more energy into a small space than other power cells.

But storing so much energy in a tiny space, cerita dewasa istri orang with combustible components separated by ultra-thin walls, makes them susceptible to overheating if exposed to high temperatures, damage or flaws in manufacturing. 

With the nightmare of Note 7 smartphones bursting into flames (pictured), many are sure that the Galaxy S8 will make an appearance much earlier. But, if the South Korean firm is too hasty with manufacturing process, they may experience the same blunders

If the separators fail, a chemical reaction can quickly escalate out of control. 

Koh Dong-jin, Samsung’s mobile president, told reporters in Seoul: ‘The flaw in the manufacturing process resulted in the negative electrodes and the positive electrodes coming together.’

It is unclear how Samsung failed to discover the battery problem before launching the Note 7.
