Samsung quiere tapar la historia del Galaxy S4 incendiado [Vídeo]

Hace algún tiempo, un Galaxy S4 incendiado estuvo apunto de provocar un grave accidente, mientras se estaba cargando durante la noche. El propietario se dirigió a la empresa de Corea del Sur para comentar el caso, que sorprendentemente, han pedido al dueño que no divulgue su problema y que va a recibir un dispositivo de reemplazo.

Samsung quiere ocultar el problema del Galaxy S4 incendiado, el cual se incendió cuando se encontraba conectado al cargador

Richard Wygand se despertó en medio de la noche, atraído por el humo y el olor a plástico quemado. Intentando averiguar lo que estaba pasando, el niño descubrió su Galaxy S4 incendiado mientras estaba siendo cargado por un cargador original de Samsung.

Estas cosas en sí mismas no son muy comunes, pero sabemos que son casos muy raros y que puede ocurrir también con otros dispositivos, como el iPhone. ¿Qué pensó Samsung, para tratar de encubrir todo el asunto?.

El muchacho informó oportunamente, de lo ocurrido a Samsung, la compañía quería que Wygand le proporcionaría evidencias del problema y el propietario filmó los daños sufridos por el dispositivo y los publicó en un vídeo en YouTube.

Samsung después de ver el vídeo, se puso contacto con el niño, comunicándole que iba a recibir un nuevo dispositivo de sustitución y solicitando que eliminara el contenido de YouTube. Molesto por la reacción de la empresa, el muchacho decidió hacer un segundo vídeo en el que explica todo el asunto y lo ha vuelto a cargar en YouTube.

Aquí está la versión original en Inglés de la carta que el muchacho ha recibido de Samsung:
