Remember the melted Samsung Galaxy S III
that surfaced in an Irish forum a few weeks ago?
Samsung said they were
looking into it and, along with a third party investigation, have
decided it occurred as a result of "external energy" being applied to
the device, not anything from within the phone itself. The damage is
apparently consistent with the phone going in the microwave. The
original poster dillo2k10 has posted an update on Boards.ie, indicating it was a mistake by someone else in an attempt to recover the phone after it got wet. The Samsung Tomorrow
post linked cites a report from Fire Investigations UK finding that the
phone itself was not responsible for generating the heat that caused
the damage, so GSIII owners (and the pockets of their skinny jeans)
should be able to breathe easier.
