The new flagship of the Korean brand, the Galaxy Note 7, is being a success. Even more than the firm itself expected. We know this because Samsung recently announced that it would increase the production and manufacture of the new Note 7. The demand for this new smartphone is still higher than expected.
A few days ago a Galaxy Note 7 came out suddenly on fire. Apparently the events occurred while the Note 7 was plugged in to charge the battery. And it looks like the charger it was connected with for charging was a not original accessory. Opening again a very hackneyed debate regarding the accessories of the brand or those of "white label".
A high-end smartphone such as an iPhone 6s or the Note 7 itself is not cheap. As a minimum, they start with a price of around 800 euros. Taking this into account, it might even seem ridiculous to purchase non-original accessories. That is, if you can buy a smartphone for that price, it is assumed that you can pay for an original charger.
The burning Note 7 was loading with an aftermarket accessory
As we know, smartphones bring, as a general rule, the brand's own charger. But such is the consumption we make of them, that almost always we have to have more than one charger. For example, one en casa, which is usually the original. Other in the workplace so as not to get stranded in full working day You also have to have a charger in the car for travel, or for an emergency charge while on the road. And of course, when we have to buy at least three chargers, the price is already taken into account.
However in the world of accessories there are several levels of quality. We have all been able to see how cheap they are, for example, the covers and housings that they sell in the Chinese. And we have also been able to verify the quality or resistance of their materials, and how little they last us whole. The same thing happens with chargers, but yes there are accessory firms that we can trust.
Fortunately no one was injured after the event. And taking into account that there are many minors who use our smartphones every day, this is a serious danger. But although we must take into account the quality of the accessories we use. We also want to give the manufacturers of the phones themselves a little slap on the wrist. For "very bad" use that we give to our semartphones, that can going out on fire should be inconceivable.
