A Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone exploded on a man in the US state of Oregon. Manolo Rodriguez first heard hissing, realizing that the phone in the breast pocket of his jacket was burning and about to explode. He reached into the pocket to take it out but had to pull back because it was too hot. He immediately took off his jacket, which he left on the floor of the store. The phone exploded on the spot, charring the floor and burning Rodriguez's fingertips. Rodriguez said that things could have been worse. He has already hired a lawyer and is seeking to get Samsung to recall 20 million units of the phones it has sold. He now has a new phone - HTC One.
