She said she threw the phone away when she realised it had \u201cswollen up\u201d and smoke was coming out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI panicked when I saw the smoke and I had the reflex to throw it away,\u201d said Bouyirdane, a mother of three in the southwestern French city of Pau. The phone then caught fire and the back blew off. Her partner quickly extinguished it.<\/p>\n<p>Bouyirdane said she bought the phone new last June on a website offering discounts.<\/p>\n<p>The South Korean company recently recalled millions of its Galaxy Note 7 smartphones globally because of a problem that caused the batteries to overheat and catch fire.<\/p>\n<p>William Stofega, a mobile analyst for IDC, said the incident in France was most likely an isolated one, noting that the phone has been on the market for several months now and this is the first report of a battery fire that he\u2019s aware of.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese reports tend to cluster,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that problems involving lithium-ion batteries used in not just smartphones, but also laptop computers, have been around for years and there\u2019s no easy fix for them. Manufacturing defects or even a small amount of damage can cause a short circuit, resulting in an overheated battery and potentially a fire.<\/p>\n<div class=\"module image-module module-image-650w366h\">\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.news.com.au\/technology\/gadgets\/mobile-phones\/report-of-different-samsung-phone-model-exploding\/news-story\/3641a9e0d84a409122fb8cc5e70e6524\">Read more&#8230;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A SAMSUNG phone user in France says her Galaxy J5 smartphone caught fire and exploded on Sunday.
