While the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and S8 devices managed to overshadow the memories of the blasting Samsung Galaxy Note 7, the most recent incident in India could bring back those memories. A Samsung smartphone of a passenger on the Delhi-Indore flight caught fire mid-air. This didn't just panic the passengers onboard, but the flame didn't go off immediately as the airplane's fire extinguisher reportedly malfunctioned. Finally, it had to be put in water.

In another incident, we saw how a Samsung device burst into flames in a man's pocket. However, it is believed that the man was not using an approved battery. So, it reportedly wasn't Samsung's fault.
