One smartphone could burn your house down! | Komando.com
This is an outstanding article about smartphone safety with burnt pictures included. I own a Samsung smartphone similar to the one in the article, but I have not had any problems with my phone. It turned out that the girl in the story fell asleep with the phone under her pillow, and Samsung states in their user guide that you should not cover your phone with bedding material or anything else that would restrict air flow. This could cause a fire. On top of that, the girl was using a 3rd party battery instead of a Samsung battery.
So, it is not worth saving a few extra dollars to buy non-standard batteries. When you are charging your phone, it should be on a flat flame resistant surface with no flammable material nearby. You should also not use a fast charger because that could be a fire hazard, too. I charge my smartphone at night on a dresser with nothing nearby. A few standard safety rules will prevent fires and enable your smartphone to last a long time.
