In an extreme unlikely event we reported a huge loss today morning during charging our newly purchased Samsung S7 (of IMEI# 356905/07/108227/5 356906/07/108227/3) purchased on 6th Oct'16/yesterday evening from Samsung Smartphone Cafe Heart Beat against invoice# SAM/16-17/1051 when the handset got abnormally heated which finally lead to breaking of its front glass/screen.
Even yesterday, in the store itself, when the same handset has been demonstrated to us with its charger connected, it got abnormally heated in less than 5 mins, which we reported back immediately to the store and refused to accept the same handset, but the store manager forcibly insisted us that as the box seal is made open we have to accept it, in case of any issues we need to reach out to Samsung.
Yesterday night we brought the same handset back to home and after making couple of phone calls, we connected the its original fast charger and started charging the same for 8 hours as exactly suggested by the Smart Cafe. During charging the same, today early morning we noticed that the handset has been heated like anything and become abnormally hot even inside our chilled AC bedroom. Around at 6am in the morning, we heard a cracking noice and reported that the lower portion of the front glass of the handset is cracked.
We immediately brought the handset to your authorised service centre and requested for a replacement, but the service centre representative has harassed my wife like anything and had given allegations of breaking handset by ourself to cheat Samsung.
The handset doesn't even have a single hairscratch in its body of any outside injury other than the cracked screen, we have deposited the handset in scratch-free(even the same is mentioned in the job sheet) condition in the service centre against bill# [protected] but forgot to take any snaps as proof.
I've been a prime Samsung user for almost last 10 years, owing starting from galaxy s3 in early 2011, followed by note2&3, s6 edge, note5 and recently owned a Samsung S7 edge Onix Black of IMIE# [protected]/01, [protected]/01. But never ever faced any issue like this.
I have gifted this handset in concern to my wife Mrs. Rupottama Mukherjee on our anniversary yesterday, while she is a great fan of Samsung too, she has been using Samsung j2, Samsung Galaxy Alpha and Galaxy S5 for last 3-4 years and she too never faced any issue of handset getting abnormally heated like this before.
My wife today reached out to your KOLKATA Samsung Head office in Lee Road and tried to get some support, she contacted Mrs. Sriprarna @ [protected] for help on resolving this issue, but alash, she spent her whole day today from one door to another without any response from Samsung and finally launched a complaint/GD in our local Police station on poor after sales service and immense harassment against Samsung.
We will surely move to Consumer Court in case, but before that just thought of reaching out to you with a great hope of getting a replacement against DOA as we reported the issues to Samsung in less than 24 hrs of purchase on a pure manufacturing defect.
Please revert back to us at the earliest.
